    Yeah, I truly believe that if Nik Stauskas signed for the minimum on any West playoff team there would be those in here saying they added a shooter and got better than us.

    Our team is mediocre and hasn't added veteran talent in two years (Nurkic).

    37-45 is a little grim but they clearly won't be very good. We are treading water. I'd guess 43-39 and an 8th or 9th seed.

    Good, that means that Mirotic isn't in the game.

    And the one game we lost to them, we weren't at full power. No Nurk. Meyers started at center and Ed Davis played less than 8 minutes, got hurt and missed the entire second half. And, we only lost by 7 in Oakland.

    If we're going to throw out all the games we won when other teams were at less than full strength, we should probably throw out this loss as well.

    Nurkic wasn't even veteran talent. We haven't added a legitimate vet since Afflalo.

    Evan Turner. On the young side, but I think it was his 7th year in the league.

    Davis, sure. But Randle didn't "dunk all over" the team last year.

    I was thinking via trade. Plumlee was going into his 3rd year.

    I certainly hope our players don't care about the dumb ass rankings as much as some in this forum.

    They haven't even started preseason and you guys are worried about respect over ridiculous rankings?

    This is a going to be wonderful thread over the next week or two. :bwpopcorn:

    Assuming we stay healthy, I don't agree with 37 wins, but no one should have an issue with 7% chance of getting out of the first round. That's not what we do.

    Specifically, one of the games that we won they were at full strength.
