Don't forget, even though most of the guys are the same, there are new components and they need to gel. The game wasn't the greatest in how they performed overal, but last year, last night's game they lose guaranteed. A win is a win, tonight's wasn't good either but they were on the road, back to back games and they won............. again.

I will reserve judgement after a couple of months.

Hmmmmmmmm, makes me think of two things.

They either think they will make a run for the title with Iverson this one year and blow it up after if they don't

Or

They are dumping Billups contract along with Mcdyess to try and get Lebron next year, like everyone else and their mama because of Iverson's expiring contract this year.

That will be a good test, they are looking good early from the bench which they will need to be consistent.

Haha, think the boys will be pissed they didn't pick that game up when we did the draft for the tickets? Should be good!

How the hell is bosh overrated?

And tonights game was so disappointing. We need a ****ing bench. Kapano and graham look lost almost all the time.

Agreed. Bench sucked again. That game could have been easily won (I went to it). Very frustrating to watch, but at the same time, there was a lot of one and done shots in that game by the raps that could have kept them closer. Still early.

Oh we definately could of won. In the first quarter, we had what? 7 turnovers?

Mix some high turnovers with poor shot selection down the stretch and a lack of bench and guard play and you got what happened to us last night.

Lets not forget that Detroit played a good game. Prince was insane with his shots and his drives. Even without Billups, they were good and they played without him for two games. I wonder how AI will mix. Will he become humble and do what the team needs in order to win.

Should be an interesting year.

btw Atlanta is 3-0!! WTF! LOL
