THIS T-E-A-M ......this year !!

[bleedgreen]

This team, this year is by far, if anyone can remember.....is much far ahead than last year's squad.

1. Gary was just settling in (wasn't sure he'd come)...didn't know much about ??

2. THe ONLY certainty was that Paul could score.

3. There were too many? about the defense

4. There were too many ? about the style of play

5. Just too many ?

Now, this year :

a. There IS a competition at PG !! a good one at that.

b. There is plenty of scoring options i.e. RD, Al, Dan, Raef (healthy now).

c. Will defintely be a running team (Paul in shape & on Board).

d. Actually out rebounded sombody ! Actually know how to play good defense.

THIS T-E-A-M WILLLLLLLLLL get better !

last season we had three fundamental questions:
1. how many points could we score
2. could we play defense
3. what and how could rookies do

this season is all about defense. the other questions have been answered...

Coudn't agree with you more, BG. I love your enthusiams!!

Yeah, I think Dickau will help us to run more than Payton did last year. Add in the fact that Pierce appears to want to usher the uptempo style too--that shoulld help all the players to follow suit.

Now that Blount appears to want to play again, now that Jefferson is going to start, and now that Perkins is going to get more time, we should be a whole lot better on the boards.
