I really haven't thought much about the game but instead, I've thought more about OUR team with much concern AND excitement. For me, that defines our team... a team that can kick anyone's a$$ but one that is very inconsistent and could lose easily as well. I really believe that we could win it all, I really do. The cliche of "making shots" really is all about us. Unless another team plays above their head, we don't have to play our best game ever to win. We just need to keep playing our hellacious style of D with our O making shots... enough to just keep us moving forward in the game. We just cannot afford 5 minutes or more (like what we have done in other games - even one's that we have won) without a basket. Just make points consistently and allow our D to do it's thing and I REALLY like our chances. I love the fact that (at least in my opinion) that we don't have to have a lights out shooting night to win but one good enough to capitalize on our opponent's mistakes and score consistently so that our great D which I believe we will see Thursday.
My wish list which I believe will lead to a victory and perhaps four more, is Triche contributing offensively throughout the game, MCW not making more than a couple turnovers at the most a game, Dirty doing his thing, Fair playing within himself and not reaching too far offensively, and the centers combining for 12+ points. This will be fun and I cannot wait!
