They can make a good run this year. But i still think that they are at best, a first round play off team
I don't get everyone righting us off as a one and done playoff team, We would have taken Dallas to 7 if Wallace hadn't gotten injured that last game ,who in the west can you hands down say we would lose to in a best of 7? Dallas is losing a bunch of players that took them there and without Chandler I'm not afraid of that team at all, Lakers without Odom just dont' have the length, Spurs are old and they have no one who can handle Aldridge, Denver I just don't believe in that team, we match up well vs Memphis. The only team I think would take us out in the first round in OKC. I'm not gonna guess who will make the second round or further tell we are farther into a season but I like our chances this year.
In previous seasons, they've spoke of just making the playoffs, winning 50 games, Getting HCA or winning a playoff series. It's good to hear they've raised their ambitions this year. Not every team says they believe they'll finish first. And on that note, I think 4th WOULD be awesome. Better than the last two years.
Speaking of which....at my age. they have one of those Vodkas mixed with milk of magnesia. Yeah, it's called a Phillips Screwdriver.
The top 6 teams look comparable. Healthy Lakers, Healthy Mavs, Clippers, Thunder, Blazers, Grizzlies. Only a few games separate them according to Hollinger.
