Here's something interesting—Coach Vinny Del Negro has a new "grading system" for effort, which he wrote up on the board before tonight's game. Players were each given a number grade for how much effort they put into the last game against Cleveland, and that, according to Del Negro, is to help bring attention to what certain guys can work on, to make them aware of what he expects from them. Personally, I'd just have a conversation with a guy if he wasn't giving 100%, but I'm also not being paid to head coach an NBA team.

========================================

I REALLY hope this isn't true. It's from Poopsworld, so who knows. But if this is true, then Vinny needed to be gone by yesterday!
