Who do you think is going to step up the during the 2nd half of the season?

I really think it will be either Jermaine or Tinsley, and I think Reggie won't be too far behind because he will be trying to have more games like the latest one vs. Portland.

What about you guys?

I think the biggest trend to look for will be the continuing improvement of Stephen Jackson. The more games he plays, the more the offense will solidify with him as a strong option. I really think he can carry us far. JO and Tinsley will be there....like they've been in basically every game they've played. And I reallllly want to see Fred step up some more, every time I see this kid play, I get more and more psyched about his potential.

JO and Tinsley have no real room to improve, and I actually think their stats will regress a bit. Like StephenJackson said, Jax will improve with games and show he can be a vital part of our team. I'm fine with how far Freddie's developed this year and wouldn't be disappointed if he stayed with what he's doing now. Some people that really need to step up consistantly are David Harrison and Austin Croshere. Harrison's one of our best shot blockers and post-up players. Going up against players like the Wallace's, Shaq, and Z will be hard without him playing to his fullest. Croshere has had some great games, but is really inconsistant. He's one of the best 3-point shooters and help defenders on our team. He also knows what it's like to be on contending team. I'm also looking for Reggie to continue to take a lot of shots.

JO, Stephen and Tinsley all have to step up big for us to make the playoffs this season. They are our main veterans, and they got to show the rest of the team what it takes to get there. It's going to be tough, but we are still very close, it will be very intresting to watch.
