Well said, MOC. I'd love to hear Spike and MIke's thoughts on this specific article. In general, the entire Ricky community has been pretty fair towards Daryl and his time here. He definitely helped his cause by coming onto the pod while he was still a Rockets exec.

But, the more time has passed with Daryl at the helm, it's become obvious to me that for all of his IQ, he clearly lacks EQ (emotional intelligence). There's a reason why the Heat, despite their talent-deficiency, are never counted out when it comes to making deep playoff runs - "Heat culture" is real and much of it has to do with the mental makeup and character of the guys they acquire.

Thanks Moses.

And yeah. Heat, Spurs, and Warriors have all been vocal through and through about their commitment to building culture. And it's not an accident that one or more those 3 teams have been in something like 15 of the last 20 Finals.
