We are better at certain positions, yes. But are we better overall than the 2006 team, for example (a much more apt comparison)? No. And what was their fatal flaw? Similar to the current team, their guard play was not championship caliber. [USER=508]@kobebeanbryant[/USER] is right.

Hey, I am all good with Scrappy's, yours and anyone else who wants to be wildly optimistic about this year's team Deepster. The team's play since the St. John's game has gone up a notch and it has rightly given some optimism to our chances going into the post season.

But if you can't see the biggest difference between the 2011, 2014 and this year's team I don't know what to tell you.

Kemba and Shabazz were obviously the best guards in each of those respective tournaments. It made all the difference in the world. We don't have that this year (with all do respect to both Diarra and Ball). Not by a long shot. And it will be our fatal flaw.

I am not being negative, just honest. I bet on us to win it all last year in February. No way am I making a bet on us this year.
