Don't believe the hype
Don't believe the hype that there is significance to the last three games and how Marbury has been showing a better attitude. Too many GMs have been suckered in by SM only to be embarassed soon thereafter.
In the same vein, don't fall in love with Lee or out of love with Ariza. LB works in mysterious ways. It may well be that Ariza's current stay in rotation siberia is meant only for motivation. Lee is doing well, but the season (and his career) are too new for judgment. (That said, we're seeing enough (with consistency) from Frye to say to judge him a real keeper for now).
We're still not going to make the playoffs and the Bulls are still getting our (high) pick.
If you are looking for positives, look to see what happens to Curry's waistline and how many minutes he logs per game. (His other stats are immaterial at this point).
