Atlanta and Orlando in Next 10 Days Real Tests

Atlanta on Friday and Orlando the Friday after next will be first real tests since opening night of how we are evolving. Indiana on Sat night and Golden State/Knicks next week should be pit stops.

I knew we would bounce back tonight after winning 2 of the last 3 with less than mediocre performances against bad teams. We always play up to the competition.

I like what I am seeing - especially what i saw tonight. We are going to win those games easily if Rondo plays like he did tonight, KG continues to progress, Paul continues to play with incredible efficiency and selflessness (we did not need an offensive explosion tonight or any clutch last minute shots tonight, so he gave us 13 points on 6 frigging shots as well as 6R, 6A and 2 steals), and Ray shoots like he did tonight.

I LOVE THIS TEAM. I WANT THIS CHAMPIONSHIP.

P.S.
1. I love that Cleveland waxed the Tragic tonight.
2. I am astonished at how well the Suns are playing (7-1).
3. Is Miami as good as its record? Again, I did not expect them to be this good - even with DWade.

Miami is playing excellent defensively so far and JO looks like he has been rejuvenated. I know his numbers don't blow you out the water but he doesn't look as hobbled as he has been the past few years.

Kefa my friend

I know it is early, but I do believe that wins against Atlanta this Friday, Orlando the following Friday and Miami the following Sunday will solidify us as the 1/4 season dominant team in the EC.

And I love that Fakers will have to contend with not only Spurs (who will blossom as the season progresses), Nuggets, Dallas, but also the Suns.

Well the Fakers handled the Suns OK last night (no surprise there, though...)
