wow, nothing like posting a misrepresentation of what I even said. Please read my posts and if you are struggling to understand what I said, feel free to ask me to clarify rather than post some bull shit of what I meant. Maybe it's time to take the riverman approach as he seems to have done the right thing as this forum has become nothing but a cesspool of fools. Enjoy the forum props.
Do you really think he was lying? Or just being optimistic? I don't think anyone here really knows what is in these guys heads at their levels, but i'm willing to bet that every team entering every season says much the same thing. I don't think our players and management are any different. 32 teams enter the season with title aspirations, from the top to the bottom. Its the fans that often have different opinions, often more realistic. No team is EVER going to come out and say, before the season, that they aren't going to compete. If they did that they would get chased out of town and play to empty houses.
Easy, easy... I'm just pushing back a little. Making a little joke. Like this one: You're leaving?!? See you later......under whatever profile you create next.
Also, my friend, I am not calling for any heads to roll. I am just skeptical that the GM isn't the GM. Not that I wouldn't welcome change, but I'm not making suggestions. This has been a hard season... I can survive off of a glimmer of hope, but I haven't seen a glimmer in a long time.
@Orion Bailey ...not sure all 32 teams have title aspirations. In fact, that list is probably under 10 and the reality is, it's really under 5.
So what are they in the NBA for then? I'm pretty sure every team has title aspirations, however realistic or not.
Who are teams #31 & #32? There are only 30 in the NBA by my count. You must be using that new type of math... Just like a financial guy, to have trouble with numbers.
compete for what though? A championship. All but one team fails. I still stand by the premise that every team enteres every season optimistic and that they are looking to win it all. HOw realistic it is would need to be dissected form team to team. I'm a financial guy? I thought there were 32 teams. My fault. Let me restate and say I believe ALL teams enter the season thinking about winning it all.
