Quote from: Antonio on December 25, 2006, 04:18:32 PMYeah. I used the wrong word. We can already contend for the title (i mean Kobe and Phil in the PO is alone enought to consider the team contender and the worse team possible to face), but we miss that damn step, that's what i'm saying. A step to be the type of team we used to be, a team everyone was scared to face. A Rasheed Wallace type of step. It could be a trade, it could be a player stepping his game up, it could be a natural maturation of our youth playerS. But i see the light out of the tunnell.I think the step is experience...

It's just a matter of time. I'm not Tex (Winter), i'm not Phil, i'm not Mitch. And i don't watch all the games like you do. So i don't know if we have to wait a pair of years or if we're already in a situation where we can really contend and try to win the title for real. I don't know if it's better to wait for those players to get experience or if we should make a Rasheed type of move to try to win the title this year. But i'm not worried at all. The team is very very young, skilled, with a deep bench, with a great offensive flow. We gotta play better d, and we miss Odom. But i think this year we're a good team.
Well, look at it this way, we're 4-4 without one of our difference-makers and best players (Lamar Odom)...Most analysts said we were a .500 team this summer at full-strength...Even when we suck we're proving 'em wrong!...PeACe

LOL. C'mon, who's the moron who predicted it? We finished with a .549 record the last season, with the last two months playing very well. We didn't touch that team, and we added Farmar and Radmanovic. How can we have a worse year? I think we have a team capable of going into the Western Conference Semi's for sure. And once you reach them.........

And once you reach them.........I know, that was my reaction too, I couldn't understand how they would make the same mistake TWICE! But if you paid attention, most analysts had us missing the playoffs again this year before the season started, claiming we made no improvements etc. etc. That's why I think winning the championship this year (which I believe there's a chance, seeing how we played at full strength vs. San Antonio) will be the sweetest ever...I don't think we need to make any moves, just improve on our weaknesses through chemistry and experience, because we're pretty much unstoppable when we get it together...PeACe

LOL. We'll see. We've already beat Phoenix (without Kobe) and San Antonio this year, and were neck-and-neck in the game vs. Dallas, so lets wait before we count out a team that was pretty much at the top of the league before the Odom injury...
I gotta give Wade some credit though. Judging from this pic of his wife, he spent his money wisely
