Guys, just like we can't judge our teams second half of the season success by the first three games we looked pretty good, we can't judge them by the first bad looking loss either. I think we played pretty well during some parts of the game, i will agree the refs had a big hand in taking us out of the game with some of those horrible calls, but we as a team need to be able to overcome that. I think the guys put too much into the thought that they were playing the defending champs and played a little nervous and let the little things get to them too much. Yeah, we lost pretty bad, but keep in mind that we are having to adjust to Amare being gone, and we will have to adjust even more when we pick someone up off waivers and incorporate them into our play. We really won't know how we really are going to fair against the better teams for at least a couple weeks once the dust settles again. Our style of play will get us past the sub par teams for now, but depending on who we pick up, and how quickly they can adapt to our style will determine how we end up. I honestly think we will be ok, I think it's going to be difficult to say the least, but I do believe we can do it.
