    Not really the right time to be starting threads like this.

    You're exaggerating. We have a different definition of "very good" and "average." There are 30 teams in the NBA and we're one of the 7 teams remaining and we are only two wins away from the WCF. That's not "average." Average is the Detroit Pistons and the Sacramento Kings. The Nuggets were great all year long. We have as good a chance of winning the championship as any of the 7 teams left in my opinion. Let's see if the Warriors win tonight even. As kjironman said, this really isn't the right time for posts like this. We are in the MIDDLE of a WCSF series right now. Many analysts have us winning the series in 7 games.

    So if we're "very good," what the holy hell is Golden State? Excellent? Amazing? Legendary?

    As sad as it is, I find it very believable

    Dynastic. I'd also go with excellent.

    Blazers this year are certainly above average, and dark horse contenders. If they aren't able to keep any of the mid-season pieces added this year, they'll probably slide to average.

    Above average would still be worse than "very good." At least in my book.

    Fair, there is a lot of room between average and the heavy favorites; That said, this years team was 2nd tier after Golden State and the Bucks. I look at this team when healthy, and I see a group that is as good or better than the Rockets and Thunder. Certainly in the top 10 (and maybe top 5) in the league. That's well ahead of above average to me.

    We owe him $18.6m for one more season after this one. So there's light at the end of the tunnel.

    I just wish the tunnel were shorter.

    And didn't smell like ass.

    To be honest I thought everybody knew Golden State is a historically good team. Yes they are legendary.

    They’ve won 3 of last 4 titles. They’ve been excellent during that time. If our roster is a “steaming pile of shit,” how would you describe Charlotte’s roster?

    You could prolly be the 12th man on Charlotte's roster.
    That's how I'd describe it. :)

    In a market flooded with expiring deals, Turner is untradable. His signing was one of Olshey's most baffling moments. At least he won't offer Turner an extension...right?

    Turner and Layman need each other. I feel like they played best when the other was in the floor. Not sure if it was the addition of Kanter that changed things, as he was clogging the court a bit more, but something happened around that time that made both Turner and Layman less effective.

    agree 100%. Turner is a pass first player and Layman moves without the ball as good as anyone on the team. He has a knack for getting backdoors and oops.

    Remind me again what it means when the thread is labeled "Bogus". I have never noticed that before. Since I see your stats are off (i.e he scored 43 total points not 7 )
