    Both McHale and Scola are quoted as saying the team is getting more and more in sync with more practices . I'm going to be hopeful of their optimism. Of course, bulldog Lowry's quotes are mainly about wanting to kick ass and get back on the court.

    Plus, the more the team gets better at team play, the more it will help Martin's cutting game.

    Glad McHale is nipping lackadaisical play in the bud, early...not allowing any excuses.

    bottomline: Combine easier schedule with more consistent energy, a more fluid system where teammates know how to use Martin better, and Lowry and Lee back on the court (plus Patterson getting more comfortable) -- and I look forward to watching this team start to gel.

    Expectations of Parsons being rookie of the year

    I think probably playoffs. Low seed.

    Same as before. Maybe a game or two under .500, and we miss the playoffs. Another 14th pick.

    Hey I'm not getting off my tank mode just because we win more than we lose, squeak into playoffs, get swept, lose our pick, cut the player we never played for that pick, pick up a future D-Leaguer in the late 1st round with the NY pick, excite the fans with a FA signing that was last on everyone's list... Rinse, Repeat for 2012-13-14-15-16.
