    Now would be the time for me to remind you I thought we would suck this year and I was 100% incorrect.

    Is now also the right time to remind Eric about Yi Jian Lian future all-star?

    Too soon?

    7-1 during this, so we can do no worse than my prediction of 7-3

    You are welcome.

    Yep. I thought this part of our schedule was supposed to be brutal. 9-1 looking likely.

    Yes but according to you, we're an average team. According to what you've been saying lately, we should've lost those games.

    I said we will end the season average. I have been saying we are very good right now. Again, reading into what I am saying or reading peoples response to me and assuming.

    Love getting called out for positive posts as well. this place rocks. Nice job mods

    Okay. So you think we will finish the season 25-38. Make your case. Tell me why you think this and offer evidence to support your claim. I'm listening.

    As said again, like 1000 times, I believe the team will suffer an injury on the front line (likely Lopez because of his history) and our replacement for him is Joel Freeland who is young and will get abused playing 30 minutes a night.

    Disagree and leave it alone instead of badgering. It's my opinion your is different. Respect it and move on. I have never said anything that would give someone the impression I talk out of my ass when it comes to basketball. If I'm wrong I will happily admit it. I have already said they are playing way better than I thought they would

    cant really blame him for being scared of blazer injuries, they often seem to strike when we are the most excited

    That's all you have? We might have an injury? Lopez played 82 games last year. Lame argument. Like magnifier said, you must be counting out OKC and Houston too since Westbrook and Howard have an injury history too. What a weak weak argument.

    Fun fact: we and Detroit are currently on 3-game winning streaks. This leads the NBA right now.

    I mean why don't you just say "barring injuries, we're a contender"? Since that's your only concern! We all agree with that. Duh!

    If they go down they are/ I believe Lopez will. Why is that so hard to understand? I hope he doesn't and the team wins the rest of their games. It's simply not what I think will happen based on prior years
