    Unfortunately I think that the center position will be our biggest struggle until Nurk comes back healthy and productive. A Hassan and Pau rotation may keep us in the hunt for awhile, how long I don't know. Don't underestimate Pau! I just don't think Hassan has been healthy enough or played enough yet to determine if he's a good fit. Waaaay too early to know as some have pointed out.

    41 and 41?!? We wouldn't even make the playoffs if that is our record. This team will get better and better on defense and the offense will flow better than it does right now too. IMO you're giving up on Whiteside way too soon. You're also putting way too much weight on positional fits in an NBA that has shown you can go smaller. I think we'll actually be better than last season but will have the same record 53 and 29 because a lot of the West did get better as well.

    I just look back through his history of improving our teams post-Christmas. He's done a credible job. He has a knack for eventually creating continuity, equating to wins.

    If you're right, we'll both be happy. If I'm right, neither of us will be. Here's hoping you're right.

    He meant he looked *like* a pedestrian (and everyone else is in a car)

    Sort of how I feel as well. If he is out/struggling the whole season, I would predict around 44 wins.

    WAY off! 45 wins is more realistic.

    Hopefully they find some, Collins will have to step up big time. Fingers crossed.
