    I believe last years roster could have won both games. T-Mac does not seem to show any emotion when he plays, unlike Francis. We could have gotten extra scoring from Mobley. We would of had good team chemistry. Now we have to go through this chemistry building all over again...it might take a while or not even work because JVG's style does not seem to fit Tmacs style of play.

    Your ability with hindsight is amazing! Can you also tell us who will win the presidency in 2004?

    sad...2 games into the season and your talking as if we are 0-20, the kings are 0-2, does that mean they are the worst team? no lol and neither are the rockets, the wizards r 2-0 so what now 04-05 champs the wizards? sure francis and mobely could have won these two games for us, but could they get us over the hump and win a championship? if the loaded kings mavs and twolves havent been able to do it, what makes you think that a team with yao francis and mobely, who lost in 5 games in the 1st round could win a championship? We are a much better team with McGrady, and Yao, we just need to makesure that surround them with a good supporting cast, it will take time, but the chemistry will start showing, with superstars like tracy and yao, its a matter of weeks if not days.

    I think you are correct that last years roster could have won the first two games. But I don't think last year's roster would have contended for a champtionship. I think this years roster has the potential to at least move in that direction.

    :rolleyes:

    @Toronto, November 16

    @Detroit, January 7

    So we lost in Toronto early in the season last year (but actually with more games under the belt), and we lost in Detroit by almost 20 BEFORE they added Rasheed Wallace.

    So clearly, last year's roster would win in Toronto and Detroit.

    Well if you check out their fan board they are starting trade rumors already. There is even a page to bash CWebb. The Rox are gonna win games I just don't think they will do it as efficiently as they should. And besides if you watched any of the Kings games they weren't that bad. They shared the ball created turnovers and played solid defense on everyone outside of Big Timmy. Tim was 11/17 with 30pts and 14 rebs in that game...How you gonna beat that? When the rockets get on the floor you are still not sure which team will show up.

    Well, we got beat by the defending champs on their home floor. Big disappointment. And we were also defeated by toronto last year, so aznphil is wrong on both accounts.

    I'm assuming azn means the roster last year plus TMac & JHoward & lue would win us both games... that's the only way it makes sense. :D

    We also had a blew Detroit away last year. So clearly we could have won the game with last year's roster.

    Hilary Clinton would of beat Bush.

    First, she would have gotten more liberal vote. Then, she would blow Bush away with the women votes.

    Plus, her passion would have willed the voters to vote for both the democratic house and senate.

    [T-Mac does not seem to show any emotion when he plays, unlike Francis.]

    Don't judge T-mac's emotion and heart because of his eyes. He is so much better than Francis it unbelievable that anyone would even compare Francis with him. Jumping around and pounding your chest doesn't make you a better player.

    coulda woulda shoulda. she didn't run. doesn't matter.

    as for how maybe last year's roster would have won both games, i rather trade those 2 games for a season ending 4th or 5th seed than 2 wins and more mediocrity
