    True. If you lose to playoff teams, you suck. If you lose to lotto teams, you suck. For some people, anything less than 82-0 is a disaster.

    They just won a championship. Do you think it's the same? And in their losses, were they completely bodied by their opponent?

    I have been making this argument from the beginning. You can go back and look. We're getting smoked by the good teams and we're beating the bad teams. That hasn't changed, with or without CJ/Nurk etc.

    Will Olshey bring in Blake Griffin to PDX for one year rental?

    Your point was that the argument has changed.

    The argument hasn't changed at all.

    We are beating bad teams. We are getting blown out by good teams. The argument is the same.

    The Jazz play the Nets next - and Durant will be out for that one. They have a great record, but they've also had some very nice breaks.

    it seems like in every big matchup (hell any matchup) at least one important player is out..I want to see how these teams stack against each other with the whole roster

    ONCE AGAIN, I don't defend Terry..... I defend the idea and premise that it is all on his shoulders........GOOD OR BAD!!!!! Fucks on here actually believe constantly that HE is the lone reason we lose games and that's it. It just gets old son.

    Where does the buck stop? Olshey? Terry? Owner? What's your opinion? I'm interested.

    Outstanding research bro. and YES, this SHOULD be happening. We are missing 3 starters and have the worst coach and defense in the league. So did you expect anything different?

    Well, wait a sec. If WE can't use injuries as an excuse, then why should they?

    So now the NETS can use the injury excuse? When can we, when can we?

    Here's hoping they cry about the AD injury when we beat them on the 26th. That game has become a lot more winnable now.

    WE should win that game easily with them having one of their best players out.

    I wonder if we would win it if they had THREE STARTERS out?
