    If you were saying this in July 2010, I would accept your opinion. It's a year and a half later. No.

    I was so high about that niners win that I didn't even give a shit about the Blazer game. (ok, maybe I gave a little shit, but not much of one).

    I tried to tell you KingSpeed, wait and see what our record is after this 6 game roadtrip.

    I can't sit through a Blazer game anymore, this squad is just not enjoyable. They have talent, but are disjoined, it's a combination of the guards missing, the blown fast break attempts, the turnovers, the misses inside, and the refs sucking. They go through these phases where teams seem to get any shot they want, and our shots are all highly contested.

    Bah! Maybe they'll get hot in the playoffs. I really don't think there will be much diff between 1-8 in the west this year.

    THAT'S OUT OFFENSE!!!!!! Why does it take some fans years to come to grips with how shitty our half court offense is?

    The only thing I'd agree with your rant is its sucks loosing Banyo. LMA's hook shots have been money this year, but he's still got a ways to go to reach Dirk's level

    Exactly.

    No, you said you'd decide after 10 games, but then you broke that and called us a great team after 6 games.

    We won't get hot in the playoffs if we don't have home court advantage and that is a pipe dream. It's over, guys. No joke.

    I'm sick of it. Center at the top of the key. Ball to Aldridge, shooting guard cuts. Aldridge gets doubled. Kicks ball out. Swing it to Wallace for corner three. Boring, boring, boring.

    I think I'm going with team rhino now. His low post moved and quickness to the rim is "SMART". And you can tell they adjusted to rhino and still couldn't stop him. Then he's a good position defender and rebounder too.

    TEAM RHINO!

    This shit cracks me up. Who actually thought we were one of the best teams in the West just because of our great start? Honestly? I said we be the 6th seed and am sticking to it. This season is gonna be crazy for every team. I love the HIGHS and LOWS of this place. And just got back from brunch in the French Quarter and there was a guy with balls enough to walk around with a 49ers hoodie. Brave man.

    Season's over. Now you can go home and kick BoBoBrewski out of your house and spend some time with your wife.

    6th seed is depressing. I won't be happy with that at all. Barkley said we were best team in West. I knew it was too early to tell but I wanted to believe it.

    I love how being the 8th seed in the west, "behind Utah", is reason for concern....12 games into the season.

    Perhaps this question will speak volumes: Would the T-Wolves trade Love for Aldridge straight-up?

    Now consider LMA's chances at an AllStar spot and the team's shot at something better than first round and out.

    Good god man, where's your sense of urgency. We've only got 54 games left to make up that half game on Utah. Thank god we own the tie breaker!

    You were right. It's really depressing. We may win a bunch of games at some point and raise oUr standing but it won't end well. We don't have what it takes. Time for a new coach and better players. Maybe our dive into mediocrity will make management less scared about shaking things up before the trade deadline. They don't have to worry about the so-called great team chemistry.
