O.K. we criticized Sam Mitchell over and over again
and he deserved it, but what we didn;t know was that
he must have gotten the confidence of his players
behind the scenes, because he was REAL and human.

They played for him out of respect. There's no doubt
about it. He might not have been the sharpest coach in
the world but he did improve and he must have been
humble enough to admit it. Apparently his personal
life was all about struggle and persistence despite
the hardships, so let's eat humble pie and
CONGRATULATE SAM.

He went from the worst coach in the league to the
BEST.... at least in improvement. Chris Bosh probably
wouldn't have resigned if Sam was so bad. Sam must be
a 'good person' that us from the sidelines never
really knew about.

So good for Sam, and maybe he is worth bringing back
for another stint. He has the fire and enthusiasm. He
has the passion for winning, so maybe he is a KEEPER.
And maybe we should be eating humble pie and admit it.
