IT'S PRESEASON.





LOL. really though if we play like we did tonight, minus getting flogged on the boards, I don't see why not.

nope. defense was good only because sixers can't score outside.

first quarter drought - we should have been down 15 if we play a decent offensive team.

We have the skill, chemistry, and now I believe decent enough coaching to take it all, if we can shut down teams in the paint like we did today then we have a good shot. I think that is possible since we have possibly the best bigman rotation in the league, we also have the defense at the position.

We're currently tied for the best record in the NBA. I see good things for the future.

HAHA nice signature bud. You're only fooling yourself though. Although I'll admit that I knew someone wasn't going to get it and think I was a dumbass. :lol:

Take it one game at a time and we'll see where this team is come April. We have a rough patch of games to start the season, so this will truly be a test to see whether we can really display the consistency to play as a elite powerhouse team in the East or not.

The best thing about the game was we played well against a defensive team, Think about bosh and JO trying to score against Brand/Sammy D, if they play the same way against other teams they are own the league,
