RJ is Optimistic, Just Not Insanely So

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Prodded by the media to project how successful his team will be this season, Richard Jefferson, usually willing to say that the Nets can compete with anybody, is a little hesitant this time around. It&rsquo;s not that he doesn&rsquo;t believe they can go far, he&rsquo;d just rather prove it on the floor.</div></p>

Here goes RJ, with his yearly predictions.</p>

</p>

Is it just me, or did RJ "mature"?</p>

I think at this point in his career he's sick of the obligatory questions about why the Nets get no respect, and how far in the playoffs they can go. Just letting it play out over the 82 game season seems like a reasonable answer to give.</p>

Well, to me, he sounds like he's holding on to something he wants to say. Maybe he's having second thoughts if he'll go out again and be insanely "optimistic" (or confident, depending on your belief).</p>

Maybe he matured a little, but I doubt.</p>

One thing that worries me is, he's not 100% healthy. Or he reinjured his foot. That's why he's a little tentative.</p>
