we would be right up there with the nba elite (besides phoenix and seattle)

every other team is in the 5/6 loss range, right now orlando is in first place wit a 10-6 mark, if we won we both would have been 9-6

and tonight we coudl have gone to 10-6

im so dissapointed :( i really wanted to up there with the big dogs... sigh

At least we know we can beat orlando... we should have had that one, really should have... is it just me or should lenny have put in the subs earlier in the 3rd when it was slippin away?

I don't know how other teams with the better records are doing against each other, but our 17th ranking put out yesterday is likely correct for the moment. We are beating the teams we should, but not quite ready for primetime!

Im ok with how things are going, we are not yet close to elite. WE get allan back, which should be nice. And we are playing better for the most part.

But not quite a very good team, just a hair better than .500.

We're not an elite team yet (not even if we had won yesterday). But if you remember how bad the team was a year ago, Isiah's definitely moving the team in the right direction.

We can compete with Prime time teams as we did with Minn, Spurs for 3quarters, Indy, Dallas, I don't know if Orlando is prime time as well but I guess u can say so. But we aren't ready to beat them yet. Though I do believe we can beat Dallas & Orlando. If we can somehow get Zo or Dalembert from there teams. That would help a lot.

Imagine if we traded Baker, Sundove & cash or whatever works money wise for Zo. Then pulled off a TT & Hardaway for Carter & Rose.

Zo/Muhammad
KT/Sweetney/Williams
Carter/Ariza
Houston/Rose
Marbury/Crawford

Though the salary would maintain its crazyness until 07 that team would be able to compete with any in the NBA.
