I was horrified at what I saw last night in the game against Philly. They looked pretty pathetic. Now I know KG didn't play and we played the end of the bench, but Bynum didn't play and Philly played their end of the bench guys too. Turnovers seem to be a staple with Doc's teams and it was on full display last night.
Of course I think they'll be better than what I saw last night, but will they be good enough to contend? I have my doubts. I don't think there is any way we get by Miami, unless a trade is made for a top tier talent.
Of course I'll be rooting for them no matter what.
Just my $.02
Did you watch last nights game? Did it look like a normal Doc type of game?
NO!
You could see by the second quarter that he was experimenting with line up, small, big, playing player that wouldn't be in a game or even on the team. Players were only playing a few minutes and then taken out. Docs subbing was erratic at best. Thats not normal. and hasn't been all preseason.
We'll probably see an other game like this were he's just trying to see what clicks. Some of it is to see what works and what doesn't. And trying to keep guys in shape at the same time. Seeing what starting line up he likes best. Whos coming off the bench first and the second. KG comes out first, but can't replace him with Terry or Green. Lots to figure out.
I figured probably one of the games at the end of the week will be more like a normal game.
This team is WAY better than last years. It doesn't really matter were they finish in the regular season, only were they finish in the playoffs. I remember that half of this team got us one quarter away from the finals. With a few more pieces no reason why they can't at the very lest get that far again.
