    We're gonna go 15-67
    We're gonna win 20 games
    It's just preseason
    It's just one game
    The other team was on a back to back
    The Kings started the season hot last year too
    I'm waiting til they play 20 games
    They haven't played any good teams and Tony Allen had the flu in the Memphis game
    They won't keep this up
    It's not even halfway through the season, I still think they won't win more than 30 games
    Okay, they're clearly overachieving but their schedule hasn't been very strong
    Okay, fuck, we have a chance at making the playoffs. There goes our lotto pick.
    Everyone is overreacting. Even if we make the playoffs, the Clippers will sweep us.
    This team always takes a slide at the end of the year. Keep your hopes tempered.
    This is ridiculous. Sure we have the best record in the West but our record against playoff teams is average.
    Alright so we have the #1 seed. We got a lot of breaks along the way, but we're way too inexperienced.
    I'd be surprised if we even win a playoff series.
    We're not this good. We only made it out of the first round because of a miraculous wide open shot.
    This is a weak year for the West.
    We only beat the Warriors because Bogut was suspended for punching Aldridge in the previous series.
    The Cavaliers will destroy us.
    Told you guys we weren't that good. West was weak this year.
    We'll lose in 5.
    We'll lose in 6.
    We'll lose in 7.
    Meh. Fluke year. LeBron missed a wide open layup that would've beaten us.
    We'll be a 5 seed at BEST next year.
    Enjoy the parade while it lasts. It ain't happening again.

    How is waiting until 20 games a naysayer? Maybe a waitsayer, but not a naysayer.

    Speed, I liked how you told a story with just a list of possible statements a person would make. I especially enjoyed the part in the story where Aldridge gets punched.

    Yeah because there are teams that are predicted to win 15 games and go on to win the title in that season.
