<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ObieCent:</div><div class="quote_post">Wow, i thought they had the ability to get to the 6th seed this year</div> There still do...This is PRE-SEASON folks....Johnson is just trying to fire his team up..As clearly they know it is pre-season and aren't taking it seriously enough...Same goes for the Rockets I would think Both Johnson and JVG are trying to get their player focused for the season...Both are young teams and aren't playing as hard as they are expected to.Some people put too much into pre-season games..
Guys are still getting used to the new guys I think it will be a good season...they're young and they are very exciting to watch I can't wait....just a couple more weeks before the season starts
