    Yeah, we clearly have a different definition of "worst team". The 00-01 was more talented than this team and I don't think they even won a playoff game.

    If someone asked you who was the best team in the league, would you tell them the team you thought had the best chance to win it all or the team that is getting the most out of their talent? Using the 2nd definition, I would say we were the best team in the NBA in the first year Dame and CJ started.

    I agree we are better equiped this year to defend opponents elite wings than we were last year. I wish we had someone at that size who could see over the top in order to be more effective against double teams and or shoot over defenders with less difficulty. The KD, Lebron, and Giannis' of the world can overcome so many more schemes because of their height, strength, or length.

    If we're healthy and the 8th seed that should be enough to get Stotts fired unless we go on some magical playoff run and that means getting past the 1st seed.

    It’s an even more impressive win considering Covington and DJJ went a combined 0-11 from 3 in 75 minutes of action. That won’t happen often.

    Anything lower than the 6th seed and Stotts is gone. This team has too much talent to end up in the 7-10 or 8-9 play-in games.

    And if you add in CJ they went 10 for 40. That's hard to overcome.

    It wasn't a joke... I was agreeing with you that the win was impressive. RoCo and DJJ went 3 for 18 and CJ went 7 for 22. Combined that's 10 for 40. It's pretty hard to win a game shooting 25% on 40 of your shots. But we won anyway because Roco's & DJJ's defense was so good.

    retired, while you work!
    When your coach sucks, the great teams play half-assed against you, so you steal an occasional win. Fanboys afraid of change say, see? We one a rare one, therefore our coach doesn't suck.

    Circular logic.

    5-10 losses later, another good team relaxes against us and doesn't really care afterward, chalking it up to an occasional loss to a dumpster fire team. Again, those afraid of their own shadows say, see? We're really good!

    etc. ad infinitum until Stotts dies of old age

    WHAT!? LOL, man...now you are trying to tell people the clear difference without Melo vs with him...like that is what you were complaining about in the first place when you went on a rant how this TEAM is the worse you have seen in your lifetime..so funny man..

    Now you are saying CJ is owning up the fact that he was selfish blah blah blah....or how about you understand that CJ is playing back up point guard this year compare to last year when were tried to fit Simmons in that role and CJ's overall usage is up which in return is reflecting on his higher assists.

    It's only 3 games in the season and you are saying CJ is playing the most unselfish you have seen him...just like 1 game into the season you got your panties in a bunch about this team....common sense should tell you 1 or 3 games is not a big sample size...and this is coming from someone that tries to educate others smh

    Anyone watching the game and the Blazers can tell you that, if you can't see it then I don't know what to tell you :)

    nah it's actually more amusing seeing someone that things they know it all sitting on a couch not actually making sense. Oh put me on ignore, boo hoo LOL. Childish

    Like how can CJ be playing the most unselfish basketball in his career when his Field Goal Attempts per game is at a all time high? 23.7 FGA per game right now, more than 4 FGA higher than any other season. So how can he be shooting at the highest rate per game in his career yet playing the most unselfish? You see how silly that looks and sounds?....

    The answer is his usage is the highest it's ever been, which puts the ball in his hands more and opens up the opportunities for him to BOTH shot and assist more...

    Cringe at it's finest, have a good day Canzano Jr...

    Since this thread is going to get bumped after ever win, I figured I should at least follow suit and bump after every 20+ loss.

    They should just merge it with the "Meltdown" Thread.

    Don’t do that to me. Don’t take this away. This is all I have. My life would be so empty.

    This is the worst Warriors team I have seen in my life...... ok maybe not. They don’t have Adonal Foyle.

    This one will be bumped and it should be. It’s what every fanatic thinks. I’m more reasonable and understand that teams take time to come together. That’s much more boring than this dude’s thread. Clownish posts like this guy’s fan keep boards alive.
