The next series with NJ will be a difficult one indeed. Enjoy this one. I
was confident the 1st series and this one also, but NJ is different. They
can be had but will demand an extremely difficult defensive assignment. Yes,
I'm looking ahead we'll win 1 of the 3 left. It would be good to wrap it up
quickly as NJ will mostly do with Charlotte. We don't want to go 7 with the
Nets resting.
