    They don’t deserve respect... they got swept in the 1st round of the playoffs by a lower seed and Neil decided to make no moves and bring back same roster... like I have been saying, they are a 7-10 seed at best without making any trades

    Getting swept doesn't suddenly make you go down regular season standings. Toronto got swept and then won 59 games the following year. We still have the core that won 49 games. That hasn't changed.

    Toronto made it to the 2nd rd and lost to LeBron who made it to finals... apples to oranges.

    Denver, 3rd or 4th in the West? I don't think so.

    I'm a big Ed Davis fan, but who knew he was worth 12 wins?

    If losing Ed and Shabazz decreases our win total by 12, shouldn't it also increase BRK's win total by the same amount?

    Something isn't adding up here. Must be the new math.

    Yep, of were going to throw out our best 13 games when evaluating our season, shouldn't we also throw out our 13 worst games?

    It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. Also we beat some beat up teams during our streak. It was not an impressive season.

    How come New Orleans, which lost Rondo AND Cousins, isn't being dumped on like Portland?

    Because they swept Portland without Cousins, and added Julius Randle and Elfrid Payton

    Why don't you become a devout Laker Fan or even Warrior fan dude!
    You come across like you are really suffering or just flat out composive.
    I challenge you to come up with something positive about the team.
    I think we all understand now how you feel about NO, so move onto something else.
    I do like your passion but spread it out some.....Holy Moly, Twab Nabby!

    Do we take wins away from teams who beAt us at the end of the year when Dame / ED and Harkless were hurt or banged up?

    I mean I get it, it was a frustrating season in a lot of ways...

    Payton is no Rondo, and Randle doesn't frighten anyone.

    Yup, the addition of two players who have never even come close to playing in a playoff game and who were dumped by bad teams is going to make up for losing Rondo who is a really good playoff player.
