    I think its possible we will make it to the second round. what do you guys think on this? VON WAFER WILL most likely HELP US get there.

    Tmac sure picked a bad time to let his game fall off completely. We'd be 2nd in the west with last years mcgrady.

    I agree. It is possible that we will make it to the second round. And if that happens, I agree that Wafer will most likely be of some kind of help.

    Good thread.

    As of now we are matched with Portland which is VERY winnable. But the Lakers in the second round would be very difficult to beat.

    It depends on how you look at it.

    If you look at it from a preseason perspective, things have gone horribly.

    If you step back and consider all the things that went wrong during the season (Tracy breaking down physically, Ron not fitting in well), then things are going OK.

    At this point, based on pre season expectations, they are a disaster. Beyond that, the record is not that bad; however, without a real turnaround in the intensity and quality of their play, they could even miss the playoffs without a first round pick. Advancing to the second round is out of the question at this point. Unless, the planets realign.

    I still think Tmac's injury will magically disappear after Ron being traded.

    We will get out of the first round when no one gives a sh&t about something so insignificant.

    That was supposed to be this year, but what with the talk from the players, administration, and most of all you guys, it sounds like lowered expectations will once again lead to an early exit.

    Basketball's like girls people; you only want what you can't have! If you want to get to the second round, get good enough so that making the second round ain't no thang.

    It depends on whether T-Mac comes back or not.

    If this is true, that would be too bad as it proves T-Mac fake injuries.
