Tough Stretch Ahead

I predict 3 more wins this week against Detroit, Chicago, and Orlando. They may come out sluggish against Chicago and I actually anticipate that being the closest of the 3 games.

This is going to be amazing if we have more wins than last year before the end of 2007…

Thank you national TV on the night I’m traveling, love it when I catch the game whatever bar is close instead of seeking a sports bar, which is often far away.

Three tough games in all likelihood, but the C’s will be at home and have that working in their favor. I hope Doc takes a page from Belichick and forces his troops to think only of the game at hand each night. When you start thinking of three home games as a package or a four-game West Coast swing as an entity instead of each game being individual, then you set yourself up for problems.

All that is talked about at the players press conference and Doc’’s pre and post game conference is “one game at a time”. KG isn’t even aware of the team’s record, I doubt he has a clue as to the schedule. After the last Buck’s game KG talked about the intensity of the pre-game shootaround: “you could hear a pin drop”. This was for the Buck’s. The fans and media are into the record and what will happen when we play the “good” teams. The players and coaches have a different agenda. The is a team where coaches and players are criticizing themselves for not playing well too much of the time and their focus is on improving. We have a 20-2 record and the team is concerned about how to get better.

adversity makes the man. let’s see what we look like after the tough games ahead. we are going to have a letdown sooner or later which is to be expected. it’s a long grind. the big factor in the playoffs will be the health of the team. the luxury of a good start is we have the bonus of giving ailing guys a chance to recuperate. i hope tony is ok as we need him to be healthy.

If the players are anything at all like me, they are ready to shut up some of the doubters out there. This game against Detroit will go a long way towards that.

I have NO doubt that they will be ready for that one. Garnett is so intense I just hope that his first shot will not go over the backboard.

San Antonio is the team to beat, and the Cs won’t get any credit as being the best team until they topple the reigning champs. But the Cs don’t draw up the schedule, and they’re doing as well as they can against everyone else.
