The NBA season is a marathon, not a race. The eight month campaign is full of ups and downs, strange twists, and unexpected turns.

“We are as good as anybody out there right now,” Turkoglu told the Toronto Sun. “We don’t get a lot of credit, even to make the playoffs. But we really don’t care. I’m very confident about myself and my teammates.”
