we could steal a few games in the playoffs, but we arent a sleeper team, bar an extraordinary run with no margin of error.

If they went on to win the chip this year, I'd call it an upset.

The writer didn't talk much about the coaching. I just have little confidence in Brown.

All I know is this.....it's not a team in the west that's saying they would want to play us in the 1st round. If it is they're lying.

Spurs
Clippers
Mavericks
Grizzlies
Rockets
Jazz
Nuggets

these are the teams that we will be able to beat without much problem because of our size and new PG play. As for the Thunder we can beat them in a seven game series, but it has to be at our pace. This plays into our favor because during the post season the pace of the game slows down. The Thunder aren't a very good half court team due to lack of scoring in the front court.
