We are right there at a championship level. I wouldn't worry. Flip Murray can not run the offense as the MAIN point guard. We didn't have a rythym most of the game.

On defense, we were a bit spent against the Suns.

What is important is that we found a BACK-UP GUARD who can run the offense well enough for a spurt and can score. Yes, Flip Murray. Actually, the only way we could have won this game is if Flip went one on one more late--either make or break it as Dallas got into our sets (doubt that will happen with Chauncey) and you could see we were in trouble.

This team is ready for the big dance with a bench. With Murray as the back up. With Webber in the offense.
