    The only difference between 1998 and now is Mags, you were still behind bars!

    I expect the same from this team too. I bet we have only one 20 point scorer. Most will be in the 8-12 point mark. We are deep now

    I dont remember, and I am too lazy to fact check, but was that the 57 win season? I think the next was the 60+ let m know when this team makes that mark..

    They weren't a 50 win team. It was a lock out season. And I will get back to you when we hit 50 wins next season.

    50 wins would be a 17 game turnaround in one season.

    That might be in the top 20 of all time.

    Just to put it in perspective.

    Well like I said; we tanked the last 15 games with a shit bench. We'd probably have 10 more wins if we just tried. So in reality it's a +10 on our capability.

    That was a hell of a team back then!

    IMO the team back then trumps this one hands down. That being said, I like what you have done this off season. Your team has more depth. As long as you dont play the team of 98-99 you will be fine

    No altering reality is thinking boozer and Charlotte's pick was worth Aldridge.

    Altered reality is saying 33 wins is really 43, and that I suggested Boozer and a pick for LMA.

    Lmao! I said we tanked 15 games. That accounted for at least 7 games. But I don't need one that argued boozer was better than Aldridge. Obviously your oblivious to actual talent.

    They would have been at least a 53 win team. And I said resembles; not exactly. So if we come close. Like 48-50 wins, will you be happy?

    How about we wager? You say how awesome we are if we get anywhere between 48-50 wins. Anything less, I say how great you are?
