    You have an extra " mark in your name, and your spelling/grammar needs work. ;)

    WRONG! Our record will be 64 wins and 16-0 in the playoffs!

    "KingOfMagnifiedSpeed" is a pretty good handle for a super homer thread, I'll give you that.

    I'm kind of partial to "SheedSoNasty". Love that name. :)

    Nevermind on the first part. I didn't catch the "The" reference without the space. LOL

    50 games would not be good enough to be a WCF contender.

    Is this the genetically engineered child of Kingspeed and Mags?

    One of my biggest fears is that they will win the 8th seed in the west and miss out on a good lottery pick. However, if a group of guys this young does that then maybe you could argue they really don't need the pick.

    Exactly the point I've made several times. I'd rather have a good group of young players with room to grow than add a top-5 pick to a pile of crap.

    Exactly!!! If we actually make the playoffs with the youngest team in the NBA (without Kaman), then there is much more upside. That would mean a couple players of the Vonleh, Leonard, Plumlee, CJ and Alexander have stepped up their game drastically.

    Being a bottom feeding team would mean those players are a long way from being a contributor in the NBA

    And that's where I disagree. We have a bunch of guys who are, or could become, solid 4th-8th men. The question is whether any of them can join Dame as our 1-3 option. We can find solid contributors and still be a "bottom feeder" in a very competitive WC. This is not going to be a one year rebuild.

    Think we will be a surprise team for sure. I think we'll win some games people don't expect and be better than most are predicting.
