Your missing the point.  It isn't a coinsedence that poor teams just happen
to play well against.  It is because OF THE WAY WE PLAY, that make poor
teams play well against.  This team will make all teams look good.  Lets
face it, we have 3 legitimate NBA players on this team "if you count Toine".
The rest are average or below players that on a good team would never
average more that 10-12 minutes per night.  That is why we look awful, that
and the fact that Pitino is playing a defense that has not/will not work
until he gets a center that can dominate defensively.  Case closed.  I not
being pessimistic, just realistic.  All those who keep talking about jelling
and getting better can stay in dream land.  Proctor & Gamble doesn't make
enough JELLO to jell this team as it is.   Troy
