In my opinion we would have fared much better against either of these teams, and right now we wouldn't be sitting here a pessimistic about our future as yall seem to be....
I Think against Orlando it was all ABOUT MATCHUPS, and i believe Dwight howard said it best "we only play them four times a year", (not counting the playoffs) and they were the ONLY team to blow us out repeatedly last year.............
And for people saying we didn't improve over the summer i disagree to a certain extent.......... We are getting rid of Randolph Morris, lol and i don't care who we sign instead of him, We improve........... Joe Smith vs. Josh Powell well i'm not too sure who is better............ We pretty much have JC2 replacing Mario West which is a MAJOR upgrade............. And NO WAY AT ALL is it possible for Coach Dru to be worse than Woodson, its impossible......... And Teague is supposedly coming into his own, which makes it where we don't have to hide Bibby defensively
Soo what i'm trying to say is don't be soo Negative, its only four games a year........ (hopefully we avoid them in the playoffs lol)
Tell me what yall think
Please don't be one of those people who said its impossible we were the three seed we couldn't have played them blah blah blah blah Or it don't matter it didn't happen..... lol
