Other teams are just better?. Charlotte? Is this a joke?
How do you explain that #2 team in the east from last year is now second worst?
And please, dont tell me that this team is much different from last year, because all the main players are still here.
We got rid of KT, Camby-bench warmers, Sheed who was always injured, Kidd, who was good initially but lost his shooting touch quickly and was very ineffective in the second part of the season, Novak, who was usless last year and Copland, good offensive player but Woody had him on the bench most of the time.
We added Bargniani who is a very nice offensive player, can block some shots, Ron Artest, who should make our defense better with added toughness.
I know we lost Tyson due to the injury early this season, but we didnt look very good when he was playing.
