    Wallace has exceeded my expectations. And I had high expectations. His passing and 'handles" are so much better than I thought that I am stunned. I knew he could play D and rebound and finish at the rim. But his ability to lead the fast break and his interior passing has blown me away.

    don't have any weakness?! Did Doug Collins forget to take his medication?

    Their defense is not good, they leave 3 point shooters open and they often times play down to their opponents level.

    He's kind of like a poor man's Lebron James, with more floor burns.

    He was referring to us. Also +1 on Wallace, dude is giving us sensational play right now.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Playing down to their opponents' level is a serious problem in the playoffs. If they play down to the level of the Spurs or Lakers or Mavs...they are in serious, serious trouble.

    Yea, I expect us to play down to the level of the Lakers tomorrow night. We'll still win though. Just flip the switch. No biggie.

    Great game offensively.. Defensively not so much. But I love what we're doing on offense. Give Nate credit.. Just so many options within the sets and its flowing real well. Just reading and reacting to the defense. I'm loving it.

    One thing's for sure, the game thread will be in double digits. Count on it.

    When the team plays like that on offense, they are fun to watch and tough to beat. If the players would just buy into the system and play that way every game, they might actually have a chance in the first round.
