    My point wasnt so much that I think you’re wrong. If you want to present it as, well the analytics make it look like making the playoffs is going to be tough. Ok I wouldnt question it, as much. IMO opinion you presented it as, well theyve got 0 chance, cancel the season. Its not about telling you how to talk, or how to form your arguments or whatever, I just dont get that mentality this early in a season, when so much basketball is left. Heck when Nurk got hurt last year I thought they may spiral out of the playoffs, bit they didnt, point is, I think its too early just quit on their chances.

    Err I’m not sure he did, at least not by the people who are posting currently. The consensus about his signing with the magic seemed overwhelmingly positive when I was talking about it 2 months ago.

    Pop is a horrible coach. No good leader would all his team to lose to this depleated Blazers squad. Certainly all the Stotts haters would agree with this logic?

    I for one think Pop is a fantastic coach depsite the Spurs record and poor showing last night.

    Why do you think we ignored analytics with drafting Dame.

    I remember looking at his draft class & him standing out as a good prospect from an analytic standpoint. He ranked very high in the P&R.

    Hmmm, you hate playing Tolliver and Hezonja but are also against Melo. So they needed a change but you're mad about it?

    They did have a plan. That's why they kept the 15th roster spot open. You may not like what they did but they did do something.

    That play was NOT on Mario. Literally everyone was standing around. No screens being set. No cuts being made. No one coming to the ball.

    Exactly why we are bringing Melo.....to help with the lack of talent right?

    Pop is a hall of a famer.

    Stotts Will be forgotten once hes done.

    The fact you even tried that tactic is laughable. Dont try it again. You would be wrong, again.

    Interesting that you "joined" the forum 3 weeks after Aminu signed but know all about people's reactions.

    Would you pay Aminu nearly $10 million a year plus tax?

    Aminu is a fucking bum. Doesn’t belong in any contenders starting lineup.

    aminu is easily worth 10 million. Again, nobody here appreciated him worth a shit.

    Yeah, I know what yours and others’ opinion was on aminu bc you literally said so before the start of the season when I brought him up, genius:

    Oh, so this whole time it's been Aminu that has been sending me those scam emails.

    Which “effort players” are you talking about? ET, Meyers, and Aminu were most hated players on team. Hood took Mo’s minutes.

    Yep. About 16-17 games in, Memphis had best record in West. Rockets were 14th in West. They were 11-14 at one point. Jazz were terrible as they had mostly road games and couldn’t win at home.
