Yeah, I agree. The team benchmark should be at 25 assists and 45 boards. If we
come anywhere near that total (and we can), the players ought to know in advance
and with full confidence that they can wipe out Charlotte even with the worst
defensive outbreak team in the NBA. They can just eat Charlotte alive. This game
will be another key prime-time measuring stick. If they lose it's not the end of
the world, but they can win.
