yeah it sucks that we didn't get melo. however, theoretically our defense should be improved which was an off-season must. black, moute, tucker, and also paul (yes i know we know we traded him for another defensive specialist) will help when one of the two stars are out of the game and hold down the fort. gordon isn't too shabby either. nene, in limited minutes, with capela aren't horrible either. glass half full. will still improved this off-season. whether it's enough... i dunno. screw it. let's "win the whole effing thing"
defense will definitely be improved. i still worry about rebounding though. we're also not that athletic or long. and definitely have little chance of winning the whole effing thing. i'll be satisfied with the 3rd seed again, meaning we beat out either SAS or OKC.
