It's about time most Championship chasers on this list get real.....it ain't
gonna happen....the only thing the owners are on board for is
$$$$$$$$$....and you won't get that by losing......we have 1 guy that meets
Championship standards....Pierce......there's a crying need for another 7
*good* players to get to the Summit.....A Championship won't be had by
jumping from the 7-8 playoff spots to the top.....not to mention the West is
so strong they could blo us away.....come back and tell me about
Championships when we rise to the top 4 playoff spots.....this team won't
develop without veteran point showing the way....we need a point guard,
along with a rebounder and a shooter or 2 wouldn't hurt.....I don't want to
see the team degrade to the ML level years....playing like crap for the rest
of the season won't help a bit.....let alone telling me I'm an idiot for
investing in the League Pass..
