But he didn't say that they were in the same class. He said he thought they
*COULD* win the game. No one thought beating the Bulls and Lakers put us in
their class, just showed that when we played well, we werer capable of
beating anyone on any given night. And that's especially true since the
coming of KA, with the marked improvement in play.

Sorry, but I have a pet peeve about people who translate what someone else
says into something else so they can show they were wrong. It's as cheap a
shot as the things people are getting all wound up about being said about
Walker et al.
