I think they have already won more games than all of last season.

Can you imagine the level of excitement over there? Take our 01-02 team, how we felt about that transition, and multiply it by 5.

Some of the comments in fact most of them mirrorred some of the comments our forum fans have scribed over the past couple of years. They complained as we do expecting more and the same arrogance that existed over here two years ago appears to be in force pver there. Two of their hall of famer posters

made some good points and tried to consul the panic stricken fans to calm down. Looks like most or their posters are regional where as we get views and posts from an intenational flair of folk. Good BB reading from both sites!!

I guess you could say that. Except I'm not sure we thought we could win it all at that time.

Tay is wise beyond his years, that's for sure.

Also, Max, look at the shots Garnett was getting. He was doing damage, but that was the best possible scenario, having him take contested outside J's. Next game, maybe he misses some of those.

Watching the game i thought Sheed seemed kinda out defensively of it when Garnett did most of his damage. Maybe he was trying to keep himself calm and not freak out about the calls ? I expect a better effort next time, but i agree let Garnett get his like that.

If we can limit everyone besides him and one of the other big 3, it'a a good enough strategy. If we get offensive production from Tay and Sheed, even better.

Going to Dyess isn't exactly a great option in the clutch. He was wide open though both times. I think Chauncey tried to take over a little too much (and a little too much dribbling). It still irks me that we don't drive when we have a lead like that in the last few minutes.

Sorry pal, but I could care less.

In addition to your excellent points, it seems to me that we won because we played good defense, they didn't get to the foul line 35 times and we hit 5 more threes than they did.

Sheed was effective enough on offense making 3 of 5 threes. His rebounding was about the best he has done all year.
