I feel this year's team is a little better than last year, mainly on the defensive end. How well we will do in playoff depends on the match ups, I don't think we can beat the Spurs, the Lakers, the Jazz with home-court in a 7-game series, the better team should always win in 7-game series. But against every other team in the west, we have a 50-50 chance.
The biggest difference between this year team versus last years and JVG teams is our performance with Tmac. We were very mediocre without TMac last year and were pathetic without Tmac on JVG's teams. This year we can win without Tmac and Yao. That just shows you the team Morey and RA has built. Not overly reliant on any player.
this time last year, sad, and wishful this year, upbeat. Last year's injury was tragic, the team was on a roll, and really getting it together. This year's injury was a bless, the final nail really got the team together, and they're playing inspired ball in spite of the injury.
Rox is apparently better than last year. Yesterday Rox demonstrated the solution to the fronting issue. Now this team almost has no liability in every aspect and owns a few deadly weapons. I really like the magic number thread, that's more convincing than 22 w in a row.
