I look for improvement. I wanted 7 tough games in the first round at the least last year. That happened. Now, I want the same in round 2 so I won't 'be disappointed. In my gut.... I think the media will jump on our bandwagon and some will project a title. Me, I feel we will lose to the Spurs wherever we meet them in whatever round. I just think that they are the class of the league and are still not even in their prime. I feel a tough 2nd round fight this year will be our destiny. But we are not too far from greatness.
We all need to see this team play about 20-30 games before making a prediction. I still think that we need a few more personnel moves to get to the Finals level, but a first round exit would be a real bust. This team must at least make it into the second round. There are still so many questionmarks. Will they all stay healthy? Will Swift actually finally live up to expectations? Will Anderson be an answer? Will Ming come of age? `
