According to published reports, Vin Baker orchestrated a players only meeting sometime after the team got rocked in Cleveland and before they took the court Sunday night against Sebastian Telfair and the Blazers. While I applaud the veteran leadership shown by Baker, and am glad that his voice can still be heard from his somewhat baffling seat so far down on the bench, it is extremely unsettling that this sort of action would fall to him. Why isn’t Marbury calling this meeting? Why isn’t Houston setting the tone as the last vestige from the team’s defensive heyday? Why isn’t Kurt Thomas exhorting his teammates to match his own defensive intensity? Why is Vin Baker the only one who sees that there is a problem? And the scariest question of all, what happens if none of the "leaders" are listening?
