Nice analogy from a RealSpurs board re Chef Numb Nutts Pop and his finishing ruination of the Spurs beginning with overuse/contract extension of Finley, Bonner, Soft Dick Jefferson combined with refusal to sign Luis Scola, go after another big, bench Blair after he went 51-11 as a starter, refuse to play 7'0" Splitter.......
If you have to make a cake and you don't have eggs, you make it without eggs. That's pretty much what Pop did. The kicker is that he's the one that could have bought the eggs.
Second, the analogy needs tweaking: Pop is a professional cake baker who cooks cakes from a boxed cake mix. For years people have said that Pop is a great chef. He tells people that he just reads the back of the box and lets the ingredients do all the real work. One day, for a big event, he spontaneously decides to start making cakes using radishes instead of eggs. He has eggs in the fridge, but he just uses radishes. When people say the cakes taste like shit, he says that the ingredients need to be fresher or just makes a smart-assed statement about how the person asking the question isn't a chef. He goes and buys the most expensive radishes he can find, selling only radish cakes while his business goes down the tubes.
