Seriously, in all honesty. How far would they have gotten if the conference was tougher as in the West? Would they have still been good enough to get to the Conf Finals if the 2nd round opponent was Phx, Dallas, or SanAntonio?

Well this year is different though. At least there seems to be something different about it so we will see. The switch games are becomming fewer and further in-between and the team is more committed to defense than any other group other than 03/04.
We hope here that starting5 is burning inside(i.e they want it) and not b/c they are forced to play well b/c bench is actually better than year or two before.
