if TT and sweet improve, we may be a very dangerous team.

I'd be more than happy to have a low post presence since we didn't have one since...

It's gotta be Sweetney if we're really gonna step up to the next level. Right now our only other post player is Vin Baker. If Sweets can develop into a 15-18 ppg scorer to go with 8-10 rebounds and draw double teams, it will really open things up for our wing players.

definitely Sweetney...TT has a solid game already...what this team needs more than anything is a dominant low post presence.

its just going to be chemistry.. we have a lot of depth and dont need 1 or two guys to carry the scoring load.

I think the only thing TT is interested is kicking Collins in the head.

I don't think he'd be doing the same kickboxing workouts that Kobe did and that EVERY NBA player should do IMO if he wasn't serious about improving his game as much as possible.

TT is nothing like Hill but he is the player that needs to take his game to the next level. I would say, so does Crawford but we haven't seen him play next to Marbury. We definately need Craw to handle the ball slightly more than our old SG's used to.

Marbury, Houston, Penny, KT, TT, Nazr, Sweetney, Crawford, JYD, Baker ALL have to take there games to the next level. That's how I view it. Nobody is exempt. If they wanna get somewhat far, they have to play above their heads all season long, and don't tell me they can't. In Spree's last season, everyone played their arses off, and we still only won 37 games. But that's b/c we just werren't good, and our frontcourt was horrific. If they could have done it, then this team could.

TT- Has to get his head out of his ars, stop the talking, and use that raw talent and athleticism he has and become much less of an underachiever.

Marbury- time to improve your defense, FTs and decision making in closing minutes.

Houston- Get healthy, and just do the best you can on defense at all times. I don't care if you aren't good. I just wanna see you try your ars off.

Sweetney- keep improving.

JYD- play like you have your whole career. just play like the psycho maniac that you are!

Baker- need I say anything. You can be great. Just play your heart out, and do the best you can on defense. That's all I ask for.

KT- Stop being stupid, and that's already taking your game to the next level.

Crawford- Stop being a streetball player, learn to shoot a J, and learn to play some team bball, as the season progresses.

Penny- Just shoot better than you did last season, and do everything else you've been doing. You were good.

Nazr- I dunno if you ever heard of it, but there is this game called basketball. It's a fun game. Learn to play it, and you can actually be pretty good!

It's odd that while we have many players that are capable, yet we have no idea who our main contributors will be. As the PG, Marbury is all but a given to produce night in and night out.

We have no idea who our #2 guy will be--- it could be Crawford, Houston, TT, or even Sweetney. Heck, even Kurt Thomas could emerge as a deadly mid-range shooter with his healthy pinky. Now that his irregular heartbeat has been repaired, maybe the svelte Vin Baker is still capable of last year's numbers w/ the Celtics. Even Nazr Mohammed can produce double-doubles, given the minutes.

remember when teams used to full court pressure us because all we had was mars...not ne more
