    Rondo is not good. We might've won if he was on the floor late since he can't shoot and we could've played off him.

    Yes, we gave up a 16 point lead but our team NEVER does that. Back in the Pippen/Sheed days, we did it all the time. This was an anomaly. We're a tough team. We'll bounce back.

    You do realize that having the #4 seed because OKC sucks does NOT guarantee us homecourt advantage, right?

    You also said we were gonna go 9-0 this month. Our team isnt that good.

    I know YOU don't control the outcome. But to come out and flat out say we won with time on the clock is absurd. So, really, you're not speaking truth, because it became a lie.

    You tell US to have patience, but you can't wait until the end of the game to declare us winners. Please, take your own advice.

    We have as good a chance as anyone. The teams with real winning experience like Spurs and Thunder are below us in the standings so we would have HCA in a series against them.

    lol. We've given up plenty of double digit leads. Not 16, which I'm sure you'll attach as your semantic, but this team sucks. We may OUTSCORE teams in the 4th, but that doesn't mean we always beat them.

    This team needs a trade. This team needs a bench. And at this rate, this team needs a new coach.

    HCA means nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    To take a page out of YOUR book... WE WON LAST YEAR WITHOUT IT!!!

    Please tell me you know why we are even ahead of the Thunder in the first place. and were only ahead of the spurs because we are leaders of a pathetic ass division.

    HCA really did work for Houston last year, right?

    I mean, I can use last year as examples, so.

    How is it a lie? It's not like we had lost and I told we didn't. At the time, we were up 11 and people were bitching. I said we should appreciate the win but it ended up slipping through our hands which has never happened under Lillard's watch.

    Because they couldn't guard Aldridge. No one will beat us if they have no solution for Aldridge.

    Have patience. Take your own advice. That's my MAIN thing. Own up that you are telling us to do one thing while you did the very thing that you're telling us not to do. It may not be on the SAME level, but it's the same philosophy. That's what irks me. I love ya, man, but damn.

    And that's a great example Strenuus. We're so good that we can win without HCA. Another thing to be happy about.

    And san antonio did last year. So, I mean, why would HCA tip those scales?

    I never said to have patience. I'm just saying to enjoy the season.

    Missing some losses. Suns and Cleveland just off the top of my head.

    More importantly 4-9 vs the west. I don't give two shits about our record against lowly east "playoff" teams.

    I brought it up earlier in the season when we lost to Houston. outside of the Spurs our record against west playoff teams was getting worrisome. Looks like I wasn't too far off.

    San Antonio had HCA against us and had an answer for Aldridge. Teams like Houston and Golden State don't.

    That's patience. Are you kidding me? You're really going to play semantics with words? Own up to it dude.
