    Well, is he wrong tho? I mean both statements can be true since we still have two more months of the season left.

    Yes, but he tries to flip flop between positions without ever acknowledging he previously argued against it. So, he's simultaneously always right and always wrong.

    I don't see a contradiction in the two posts. One is saying they'll probably be the 9 seed; the other says they could even miss the play-in altogether. In both, he's saying that the Nets have vastly underachieved. Where's the problem?

    The 9 seed doesn't miss the play-in, so those are contradictory positions. If he was saying they're on the bubble and could go either way, that might be a reasonable view. But, he tries to argue one side of it (usually the less sensible one), then abruptly jumps ship and hopes no one notices he's now taking the other side. Surely, you've noticed the pattern over the years?

    I wasn't talking about a "pattern"--just talking about the two specific posts in question, which can be easily reconciled in the manner you stated.

    And Wiseman with the #2 pick when they could’ve had LeMelo.

    Those aren’t contradictory. Probably and could do not have the same meaning.

    Brooklyn will probably make the play-in but they could miss it. That’s not a flip flop. That’s English. Relax man. I don’t want to get in a series of personal attacks with you.

    There was no flip flop, man. Read carefully.

    No, but I've been in and out this season. I'll be the first to say that I don't know much about him, per se so I didn't really see the issue with his posts. Just IMO.

    Just saying, if 'Dipo rounds back into form by the time the playoffs start, the Heat have a chance to be scary good.

    Suns really didn’t have any problems at all with the Heat.

    Lakers going down in flames in OT at Houston even with a triple-double by LeBron.

    Pels after their hot streak coming back down to earth. We need someone to get hot and overtake them for 10th.

    Rockets shot 51%.

    Offensive stat-wise, the Lakers had the kind of numbers that usually win, but they can't defend anyone.

    They won the turnover stat, the rebound stat, the assist stat, got to the line 7 more times ... and lost by 9 in OT.

    Magic winning in New Orleans without a 20-point scorer, but the Pels shot 22% from 3.
