i hate to say it, but i think when shaq and/or jo return, that is when the team (rondo) will pick up the play. think about how long we've been here searching for any sort of truth behind when they return. when it happens (next week or the week after), there is ognna be so much excitement, not just in the fans, but in the players too. especially with shaq. he'll get everyone on the team fired up, especially rondo (im sure rondo misses doing some of those lobs, or just having shaq in the post if nothing else is working). that will be the turning point.
it looks probable we're getting the 3rd seed. that might be better. i think we'd rather play the sixers than the knicks.
