Game Thread GAME# 16: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - NOVEMBER 22, 2016 - TUESDAY, 4:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Napier still not getting minutes, we're still playing just 2 guards the entire game and waste both Dame and CJ. Still play either Crabbe or Turner out of position at SG. Our bench still looks like shit.

I thought it was obvious it didn't need answering and was a questioned statement. Sorry you missed that. You still sound like a broken record....
FOR the record. we are better than the mediocre teams. By the end of the season you will see. If your able to remove the hate goggles that is...

 

Well, if you asked that question but already felt you knew the answer, then I was right to correct you.

We were a mediocre team last year, we're a mediocre team this year. You think Evan Turner, with his league leading - stat is going to elevate us above mediocre? 44 wins last year, that is basically .500, and wouldn't have even gotten us into the playoffs the last 10 years in the West.

 

You are not open minded enough to have this type of discussion. You have proven that through historical posts. If you weren't so shaded in red, I would debate with you that many of our youngs should also be improving within their own, which should make this team better than last year. That's just one of several internal ways this team could have improved. Gotta take the hate shades off and look at the big picture, but you are an instant driver through knee-jerk reactor of which is senseless to have a debate with.
You continually bypass certain points so you can beat yours into the ground....

 

I'm not close minded, I'm just seeing what's in front of my eyes. Their body of work from all of last year and this year has been mediocre. There have been highs and lows, but playing .500 ball should pretty much be the definition of mediocre right?

Last year mediocre ball felt good because the team was expected to suck.

 

But its your assertion that what we have been is what we always will be. Ludicrous considering our age...It's this that you are unable to see past. There is alot more to a vision than what is right before your eyes. There is a whole Horizon out there.

Last year at this time we were playing aprox. .250 ball. we improved to get to .500 ball. We have now started out at .500 ball. What is to say we wont improve to .600 or .650 ball by the end of the season with such a young team? This is the vision you lack....

 

I never asserted that the team will always be mediocre, I'm just saying what it is. Teams go through hot/cold cycles in the season just as they do in games, but what really separates the good from the mediocre is how often they can play at that high level.

When you line this team up against the opponent on a nightly basis, I'd say the only real advantage we have is Damian Lillard, and we usually don't win when he doesn't have a super game.

When Damian scores 30 or more, we're 6-1, otherwise we're 2-7.

 

The old drool stained casting couch.
