Do the buffoons at the New York Times know something? http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/10/2...below&WT.nav=top-stories-below&_r=0&referrer=
Why, exactly? I mean, they already "regressed" from their hot-as-hailing-sulfur start in the middle of the season, before turning it on again after LMA came back. They played decently for them over the course of the season--definitely not otherworldly. There were a ton of buckets left out there and a ton of buckets given up that shouldn't have been.
No, they know nothing. Nobody knows anything. Only S2 knows anything, as most in here know everything. Just ask them, they'll tell you.
Shooter, good to see you back. Nice avy as always. Nice to see someone nationally say something positive, but this is not the consensus.
Exactly. I amazed that minus Mo, plus Blake and Kamen doesn't make the 'experts' realize that we addressed a few weaknesses.
My Rose Garden Colored Glasses says... 5 starters + injuries + worst bench in the history of the league: 33 wins 5 improved starters + worst bench in league: 54 wins 5 more improved starters + average bench: sky is limit (if there aren't significant injuries)
Mo led all bench players in the NBA in assists per game. That's pretty special. He was also a leader. Plus, he got the steal and three pointer that we needed to win Game 4. We don't win that series without Mo.
Mo gave the team a second ball handler and could bring the ball up the court with ease Lillard is the only guy on the roster that can do that right now
I actually agree with you. I get this weird feeling this team is really going to take the league by surprise. Maybe even a 64 win mark.
youre right... mo did do that... and then held the ball for 18 more seconds for funsies. why did we let him go?! god i wish i knew basketball..........
That's a good point. Mo is a great ball handler that can handle pressure. I have many memories of Blake throwing the ball away under pressure, and I saw it a bit in pre-season. I don't want Blake in there in clutch moments like Mo often was. I think Mo is very undervalued around here and his absence will be noticed.
> After the all star break, forum member predicitons were entrenched in multi game win streaks and I appreciate die hard loyalty. After the Utah debacle and the Memphis melt down on "JK25 remembered" night, my predict of 2-2 re starts on Thursday. We gotta finish games....... I hope Affallo is the mud that sticks. Back in the late 80's/early 90's I was so Intense into them and for my own health realized the playoffs are worth real aggravation and heart palpitations rather than betting the house on a game in late February.
Yes it will be noticed. We have better ball movement and no more chucking at the end of the shot clock after dribbling for 20 seconds of it....
