    We don't suck. The 76ers suck. The Knicks suck. We're not that bad. And TNT televises tons of mediocre teams each year. So we shouldn't feel "honored".

    I'd be happy to discuss our roster with you if you actually have something valuable to say. But I don't think there's been a post where you actually decided to have a discussion about them, instead you just keep trolling for no reason.

    Looks like Ballstreams is in order for those of us that don't get the Comcast channel but live in the blackout zone for LP with so few national tv games unless KGW gets a lot more.

    I'm just saying we won't be a playoff level team so there's no reason for us to be on tnt. Just like when we were contenders the past few years I wouldn't want to watch lottery level teams on a national stage. I'm just a realist and look at the situation in a non homer way. My fault

    It doesn't matter. We have other sources to find out we had won.

    for a while I thought Tunchi and Tlong were the same or related or something because their continual negativity seems very similar.

    That's why those teams only have a couple of TNT games instead of a ton of them. Saying "we suck, we suck, we suck" constantly doesn't mean you're a realist, it just makes you a troll since you're not stating why "we suck"

    We're definitely going to suck. Anyone that disagrees with me is just fooling themselves.

    Seriously? Other than Lillard we have no one that is a proven player in the league. No one. How that doesn't equal suckage is beyond my comprehension.

    Plumlee and Henderson are proven. Aminu proved himself last year, especially in the playoffs. CJ and Leonard are well on their way and are exciting young players that would be reason for TNT to cover them. Davis is definitly proven. Kaman's proven even though he'll likely get no minutes.

    Question for you.

    how do you become proven without getting a chance to prove yourself?

    Not all the stars in the NBA were lotto picks. Many lotto picks are busts, while many mid level to second rounders become stars after a few years of adjustments and potentially a change of scenery.

    Seriously, just because we don't have a bunch of superstars doesn't mean we have a bunch of guys who don't have any type of potential whatsoever.
    What makes you think these guys have no chance of the team gelling, while individuals grow and improve their game beyond their previous seasons, or college play?

    Do you not agree that an employee can work for one company doing something, but if not put into the right position, can fail, but then go to another company that does the same thing as the previous, but they put the employee into the right position and then the employee succeeds? IT also happens within the same company all the time. I started out in the shop at my employee as the shop manager assistant. I excelled. I got promoted to estimator and failed. Got moved to the Shipping/ Purchasing manager and have now found a home in my position that is high reward for my hard work and i'm a star in our office. I don't have 4 years of college like some of the office guys, so I didn't come out of college and get the big salary, but I am equal to them now.

    Skill sets are all about how they are utilized can you prove that all the new guys on the roster had their skill set properly utilized in the past and their is no chance they can learn, changer, improve?

    If not, then you should tone down the negativity because it has no validity...I mean pull thew plug already then...
    At this point for a few of you that seem to be sooo jaded to this team sucking because we have no one proven, well if you have the same mentality in life, your life must be pretty tough and full of bitterness and hatred.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion as are you, but those that speak it, should defend it. I dare you to answer my Q's...

    Hmmm. Glance in the mirror lately? :)
    Goes both ways. I think the generally accepted view is NOT that we will suck, but we have potential and can potentially end up with 25-35 wins. For this team, that is not sucking, if it goes as predicted and we start out a bit slow, but learn to play together and get more wins during the second half of the season. Going into the off season with a lot of momentum. Couple that with a potential deadline roster move to try to bring in that 2nd guy around Dame so in the off season we can try for the third. To me that is not sucking. That is kicking ass!!!
    . I think there are only a few like myself that think we will get more than 35 wins, and I think there are only a few that think think we will get less than 20 wins.
    Your definition of delusional fits you just as much as it fits me. :)

    yeah I guess I can see a bunch of delusion with all that "WAHHHH" in your posts too. You should work on that.

    We'll see what happens in a few months. If I'm wrong I'll admit it. Will you?
