CP: How crucial is this season for this franchise? You guys have been on a
path. Almost since you took over ownership of the team, it has been the three
of you—you, Kevin McHale and Kevin Garnett. And you have hit some highs,
nearly making it to the NBA Finals one year. But the last two seasons have
been two steps back. A third step back this year, and one would assume that
something more drastic needs to happen.
Taylor: I think that is fair. Because I will say that I do not anticipate
that we are going to take a step back this year. My anticipation is that we
will play better. My goal is that we win our division. I really believe that
is possible. And because of that, we probably would end up with home court
advantage, and then, placing us against certain other teams, if certain
things happen on our team, I think we could beat any of those teams.
But quite frankly, a number of things would have to happen. I will say to you
that that means guys like Marko, Trenton, Ricky and probably Hudson—let's
take those four. One or two of those guys, something dynamic has to happen.
They have to be way better than people expect in order to make us a much
better team. You could put Eddie [Griffin] down as another player-at a
different level, but if Eddie would do that and be much improved. That's how
I think this year will be measured. I don't think it is on a Randy Foye.
