WOW, most of the "Analysts" have us finishing 12-14 IN THE EAST! How dumb can people be?

That guy Chris Sheridan has us 2nd in the south east but 9th in the east. He must think the southeast is going to stink it up this season....
I still think we will be better than that....

[dav7z]

Not one of those guys have us making the playoffs. We should be better than all of them think. I see us some where between 6th and 10th depending on how quick we come toghter.
I can't see us at 14th or 15th

I agree. I don't see us being any worse than 10th in the East.

I hope they are all saying "dang sure didnt see this coming" when this season is over....

I like being in the underdog role and so do the players.

I thought the blogger they had with the questions for the Gm was really good. I was a little surprised by the predictions from espn - a bit harsh. It would take several (more) injuries for me to expect anything as rough as that.

I saw that early this afternoon and thought your questions were great Brett. Definitely did a good job representing our fans. If only we could get our reporters around here to think a little bit on the questions they ask.

They all seem to be "monkey read, monkey write" reporters.....

Yeah, now if only we could get the guy to join us over here at bobcatsplanet, we'd be set!!

There's only 3 people on that poll whose opinions I respect: Greg Anthony, Chris Broussard, and Jemele Hill and they gave us 10, 12 and 13, respectively. As I've said earlier, if I had to pick us, I'd have us around 11, which is, coincidently what the Sporting News has us. The thing to remember though is that it is only opinion, and we have no clue what the season will bring. It's very possible we could sneak into the playoffs, if some teams underachieve, some teams suffer major injuries (as we have). Let's not raise our hackles over this; if our 'cats go out and play their game, we'll be contending for postseason play, no doubt, though the road-heavy late season schedule does concern me a bit.
