    What am I failing at? I'm not playing the games. You want to make a bet too? I guarantee we win 20 more games.

    You know my philosophy on betting.

    All I asked is that you stop talking in guarantees

    OR at the very least, own up when your guarantees go wrong.

    But I will never bet. I'd of made some money here if I did, but I don't.

    And you knew this. I talked about my past.

    HCP- you honestly think our record won't improve since more games are at home? Look at our home and away records. We are wayyyyyy better at home. More home games means we'll play better.

    I talk however I want. How about I ask you to stop talking so negative about the team?

    We're 4 games better at home than on the road. I wouldn't say that's "way better".

    Then please, for the first time ever when you're wrong, own up to it.

    You won't, but it'd be nice if you did. ;)

    Wow. You don't understand math. WE'VE PLAYED MORE GAMES ON THE ROAD.

    We've won 57% of our home games.

    We've won 31% of our road games.

    That is a HUGE difference.

    I'm hopefull that @KingSpeed is right on this one. This snub, (two years in a row now for Dame) is going to give Dame and CJ extra incentive to play harder, which will run off on everyone else on the team. They are going to have something more to prove again. They need to use this as fuel, and do what they did last year. You are right, in that there is no 100% guarentee, but this snub + an easier schedule equal one hell of an equation.

    You know, I give you a lot of shit and forget about it, because I actually love you as a person.

    But please do not bully me about my gambling addiction. Ever.

    Basic math. 57% at home, 31% on road. Basic understanding of math says with more home games, we'll play better.

    Anyone who thinks we won't improve over the remaining 35 games has no understanding of basic math.

    I hope they play harder on defense then. Dame's defense was horrible against the Lakers.
