In the next column, I expect to read that The Joker and Nellie are on the outs and the Joker is right. Piling on is the order of the day. And it really doesn’t matter if the vehicle used to attack Nelson has any crediblity. Where did Monta The Moped Man get his? Where did Crawford’s agent get his? When did it become the order of the day that a coach shouldn’t put a good face on bad situations? In Nellie’s defense, the team does look like it has decent morale and it does gather itself from heart-breaking losses to play a good game another night. The problem with the team isn’t Nelson or morale. Seems both were fine the last two years. The problem is the team’s star left and it doesn’t have another one yet. And so the team can play very hard until crunch time but there’s really not a go-to guy there to pull the game out. But you can’t write that every day and you can’t write “we don’t like Nelson because Rowell resigned him and not Mullin” every day either. So, I guess that leaves us with what we get—drama—but my feeling is that most of this drama is “made” rather than “found.”
