    Is anyone else as excited as I am about the 2nd half of the season? Our team has gone through alot in terms of growing pains but we still hold a playoff spot while our 2 "stars" have been struggling. I think we will become a really scary team the 2nd part of this season with Yao starting to look for his shot more.. SF3's shot finally coming around while maintaining a league leading defense.

    Our defense has been top notch this whole season and we knew once our offense starts to pick up we will be a very good (maybe great) team.

    The first part of the season reminds me of the preseason.. how we struggled in the beginning with people trying to feel each other out and learn where they want the ball and how to get it to them. Then we crush everyone for the last 4 games of the preseason. I think thats about to happen now.

    We struggled with JVG's system but players are learning to trust each other and moving the ball around alot better. If looked at just the last 15 games our ball movement has gotten much better (assists per game way up, FG% way up) and our defense has been constant.

    Yao has been playing better, SF3 has been shooting better if we could ever control our turnovers we would be a great team. what do you guys think?

    5th seed in the west? or just some feedback?

    Go Yao! Go Rox! Go Super Duper Backup Bench Brigade!

    there is no excuse not to make the playoffs and the terrible play of portland and phoenix makes it even more unexcusable. well see. also did jackson sign a one year deal with the rocks. if so, next season will he be worth posey money. i think that's a tough call.

    I hope we can change " improve,regress,improve,regress"
    into "improve,improve,improve,regress" in the next half.

    J Jax signed a 3 year deal. That was one of the reasons I bonked my head on the ceiling with excitement when that happened.
