Re: Pre Season Game #5 - (10/14/10) - San Antonio Spurs @ Cleveland Cavaliers (Pitt,
You guys are funny. Some of you guys just 2 weeks ago were predicting a 20 win team, demanding a tank job, and worrying about years of mediocrity. And now you're acting so surprised by their strong showing. This is a good team. Remember that this team won 66 and 61 games over the past 2 years, with some very poor coaching, lots of broken offense, and one star player. Take away the star player, create a better offensive system, and bring in a coach that can maximize his players, we still got a solid team. We still have depth. We still have a great organization. We still have great fans. We still have a nice mix of veterans and young talent. And most importantly, with the subtraction of the star player and the addition of a good coach, we now have a team that will play together as a team - win and lose. (No one's leaving this team whining that they didn't have enough talent to win)
I wrote extensively comparing this team to the Bucks of last year. They're gonna play hard, play tough, lose some tough ones, and develop as the year goes on. Sure, they're nowhere close to competing with the top teams in this league, but they're no way a 20 win team. They're a team that can surprise, depending on how everything falls into place...and yes, it's gonna be a fun year.
