Petrie to hold press conference tomorrow
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
Glad to see the confidence in our guys. No they're not going to be defensive player of the year winners, but they can probably step it up a few notches if they put their mind to it. It's more a matter of not giving up on possessions than anything else. You can't hustle 75% of the game, you have to do it the whole time. He didn't say anything about sprouting athletic skills, he said they have to get better defensively which I'm sure they're capable of.

O.K. My emotional fan rollercoaster ride is offically on the upswing. This is not because of anything that Petrie said or did not say, since he basically did both at the same time! Things are going up simply because today is Friday. We have made it through another week without an injury to a player who is currently on our roster. Nobody has demanded a trade. We have 2 more weeks to speculate on whether or not we keep ourselves in the running to keep Darious and Mo, on who our draft pick will be, and if there will be a lock out. That means we still have two weeks before anything begins to take on any hint of certainty. That also means that anything is still possible.
I also liked that, from Petrie's information, we are not planning on any midseason trades next season. That should help with cohesiveness. It also appears that they are at least putting more real focus on what we need to get better instead of just looking at the good things. I no longer feel that we are doomed to finish at the bottom next season, although, I still don't feel confident about finishing at the top. Now today is just Friday. Monday, I may have a different feeling completely. It is after, THE OFF SEASON!

Well, it all depends. I always had faith that if we kept Bibby, Miller, and Peja, we will still be very good. However, I was (kind of still am) unsure if we were going to keep or trade them. If we were to trade them, who knows what we would end up with. Although I understand why we made the trades we did this past season, I was not overly impressed with how it worked out, so far. With as much uncertainty that has surrounded this team lately, I will not be shocked no matter where we ended up this coming season. I was bracing for the best and worst. By the way, my idea of the bottom is not making the playoffs. I strongly believe that if we keep those three, that will NOT happen!
No offense Chelle but just making the playoffs is not good enough for me. We did that this year and that was good considering the trades and injuries but for a "regular" season we should do better than that. Losing to Seattle in the first round is not exactly something that thrills me. That was the first time most of the team had played together so it was not that surprising but that's not what I want for the future of this team. Of course we're not the Hawks and I thank God for that every day so it could be worse but I wish for much better.
