A Loss but the team looks imporved..esp. on defense. Once Gilbert gets rolling they'll put up over 100 like last year. I hate watching them play cleveland b/c its always a shootout and lebron gets too much attention and always plays really well.

Etan looked solid. And even after laying a goose egg for Arenas to hit that 3 near the end shows what a clutch player he is.
Tough loss, but this has the makings of a great rivalry.

This was a tough loss, but they did have opportunities to win it at the end. If Jarvis would've hit one of those 3 pointers......they could've pulled it out.
The players that stood out to me were, Etan Thomas, Deshaun Stevenson(sp), and Caron Butler. I like the energy they showed on the defensive side. If only we could've gotten 20-25 points from Gil.....

They played this way with nearly nothing out of Gilbert. Imagine what they can do when Gil gets his game on

If they hadn't cut me in training camp they would have won. Sucks for them.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, too.

Defense is the key on this team. I don't understand how hard it is to just TRY to play defense. I mean even if they aren't the best defenders why can't they put some effort into doing their best? Hopefully this season they realize that and finally do it. They are a 55 win team with an adequate defense. A real noise maker probably in the top four in the east. Otherwise they are a top 10 team who could actually miss the playoffs.
