I honestly believe if we are matched up with Boston in the first round we can wreak some havok. Atlanta took them to 7 games last year, and Boston just doesnt seem as strong this year as last, and I think our current lineup is better than Atlantas last year, although Atlanta was beat by 25+ everytime they played @ Boston.

Will be interesting to see how everything unfolds.

This is where we start sucking again and falling back to Earth. Just when you think they've turned the corner, they disappoint. Hopefully they will change things tonight, but the Spurs in SA is a helluva tough game.

The Hawks lineup is a little better then ours. It's a little homerish to think not.

The reason why they gave the Celtics trouble anyway was they were more athletic at every position except the pg. That is what they used and why the Celts struggled. We don't have that athletism.

If we do make the playoffs, our chance to win will be to tire them out and push the ball as much as possible. Our defense will give us chances to win games against teams like that... but the difference in experience during a 7 game playoff series... man that'll be tough.

I look at the playoffs as possibly a great chance to gain some momentum into next season OR who knows, maybe we figure out how to take it to another level at the right time and we cause a major upset ala GSW vs Dallas a few years back.

I think expierence is our strong point. Not stronger over them but we have playoff expierence guys like Diaw,Bell,Diop,Bell. Those are 4 guys who have a ton of playoff expierence. Mek/Wallace/DJ/ don't but Mek and Felton were college champs.
