Can't have a 2-3 game winning streak to we shake off the Pistons/Hornets. Both are stubbornly hanging around.

We can't go on a winning streak until we shake off Washington. When John Wall and Nene come back, it's game on. We'll have the worst record in the league.

They, like us, also were very lucky to have drafted #1 overall. I'm not sure their pre-lottery positioning, but It may have been even worse than ours. Just think if Miami would have won the Lottery, It would have been Rose/Wade/Lebron/Bosh. Who cares about the 5th player.

I mean, to follows the bulls model, we would just have to spend and overspend all our cap to bring in players, I'm sure it would lead us to the playoffs, you have to spend something. All the top teams are either at the cap or well above it. Cavs, well we are probably just barely making the minimum.

IIRC they were 9th, although I didn't bother looking it up. I think a team with Rose/Wade would have been a serious contender for ECF in Rose's rookie year (won 50 games with BEasy), and likely with LeBron, and Bosh on board it's game over man. Means they likely would have had to sacrifice one of Miller, or Haslem, or the douche three would have had to take even less money, but man that team would have been something...

At least a 3 game lead on Washington until we win another game imo.
