    We'll beat OKC. We're a much more talented team. AND we're at home.

    That might be a bit of a stretch. But I think it's arguable that our team plays together better than theirs does.

    I believe I asked why certain teams "should" beat us, as most all of you said, and was called a troll.

    Magnifier wasn't optimistic enough.

    Remember when it was PapaG who made every thread about himself, and you were the one who talked intelligently about basketball?

    I'll save us both the pain of remembering when you were great. I'll just ignore you and spare you some grief.

    I do remember.

    I tried that earlier in this thread and was called a troll. Not sure what I am supposed to do, to be honest?

    This from 3ainiac
    MM is drinking the kool aid!

    Or he is setting it up to complain we should have won, and by losing to okc or Indy, we suck

    This from dviss1
    People acting like MM is optimistic aren't reading between the lines. If we go 6-4 in this trip there would be no shame in that at all.

    CHI, OKC, GSW, & IND are all teams that if we lose to we should not be ashamed that we lost to them. Saying that we should is not homerism at all. It's more negative Nancy stuff...

    This from Boob-No-More
    Yep, he's deliberately setting himself up for disappointment. Anything less than 9-1 will be a failure by the team, he'll be disappointed and we'll hear about it.

    I agree, ANY win over CHI, OKC, GSW and IND would be a BIG win. Those are 4 of the top teams in the league and all are playing very well right now. CHI got off to the slow start, but they have won 5 in a row and absolutely dominated IND over the weekend.

    Given the quality of the competition, and the number of b2bs, I'd be happy with 6-4, and ecstatic with 7-3. Seriously, it's one of our tougher 10-game stretches and if we can win 60% - 70% of those games, it bodes well for the rest of the season. 6-4 would make us 15-6 after 21 games. That's on pace to win 59 games - something this franchise has only done 3 times in 43 years. How could anyone not be happy with that start?

    BNM

    This from Strenuus
    @ BNM - It's a clever way to be a Negative Nancy for him, though. Gotta give him credit. Be OVERLY optimistic, and still say they did bad with the (expected) result.

    Well done. lol.


    So again, I ask, in all sincerity......What am I supposed to do? I try to talk basketball and get attacked because my basketball takes differ from the majority of the forum.

    Honestly looking for advice.

    It must be a giant conspiracy, mags has dosed us with DMT and now we share a hive mind consciousness where we blindly single out genius posters for no reason whatsoever for ridicule and derision

    No, not playing the victim. I am asking sincerely. Trying to talk basketball, but others don't seem to let me. Honestly asking what to do.
