    Do you believe Howard, love and Westbrook will too? They have history. That's your model right? Or is it just a guy feeling again?

    Why don't you say if there is an injury we are not contenders?

    It's strange that you've advocated past doesn't show future success, then use it to solidify your arguments

    Gut feeling with Lopez

    Love will get hurt (he always seems to)
    Howard has had issues in the past, but I don't think he will
    Westbrook was a fluke injury

    if lopez misses 20 games...what, they go 0-20?

    im not following, what is the point? that they then miss the playoffs?

    you know how lame it will be if he injures himself and you start gloating about being right?

    wtf are you doing man, push the abort button on this one

    Lopez had issues in the past, then 82 games without injury last season; yet you can adjust your model accordingly?

    I agree about Westbrook though. Actually I think your model is broken and don't think any will have injury this season (knock on wood). Because I think only one of the players I mentioned above have reoccurring injuries.

    I said at the beginning of the year that I felt they would be mediocre at best due to injuries and a lack of front court experience. That's how this all started. Even though they have been playing way better than I thought they would, changing my opinion after 19 games seems stupid to me. The same would be said if I thought they were going to the western conference finals before the season and they started out 3-16 because of injuries. I wouldn't change my opinion until after the break. It's what I have done each season. You guys are arguing just to argue

    It's what I feel, mags. Why the fuck can't you get that?

    Why did you feel Leonar_ was a great pick? WHAT POSSIBLE REASONING would make you think a fucking thing like that? Explain it now, in detail.

    Never mind, you don't have to. you believed it because it's what you thought, and I respect that, even though I disagreed then.

    I never thought Leonard was a great pick. If you would have been paying attention, you would have known that already. In fact, people think I am a Leonard troll. Got something better?

    Some of you need to drink the homer kool-aid, it makes for lower blood pressure.

    No, I will stick with you being a huge Leonar_ supporter when we drafted him.
