    I predicted 28... and I'm sticking to it. This team is stocked full of solid roll players. A top 7 pick and $30mill of cap space could change that destiny.

    Poor Kingspeed. I like your enthusiasm Kingspeed, and your out of touchness with reality.

    This roster was supposed to be young, deep, and athletic. By the 4th quarter, they look old, shallow, and arthritic.

    So we're 4-9 in the rough spot of our schedule. It usually happens in March but this year, the easy games of November's past have been scheduled for January. So look for us to play even ball in December and then start crushing teams in January. I still think this team is better. They just need a players only meeting to stay strong.

    Will that mean Terry Stotts will be fired?

    Dude he's not that bad. Not his fault his players consistently make boneheaded turnovers.

    It kinda is. Players should have roles and only do what they are good at. Turnovers come when people try stuff they can't do.

    So what would our record be if Luke Walton was our coach? Or what would the Ws record be if they had Stotts on their bench? Coached get WAY too much credit and WAY too much blame.

    So the rough part of our schedule includes Denver, Charlotte and a Houston team that's been underachieving so much they just fired their coach? Of the four teams we've beaten, Utah has the best record at 6-5.

    Our strength of schedule so far is middle of the pack, it's not going to get substantially easier. There's a period in January where we play Memphis, Clippers, GS, OKC, Utah before going on an east coast road trip. That doesn't seem much easier than we've had.

    Separate bet? You give me $1000 if we win 48 games and I give you $100 if we don't? I'll take that bet!

    The OP reminds me of Ali! Love his enthusiasm and confidence. A real fan in my book! I'd bump it just for him. Yes the team forgot to take up 4th Quarter 101 but I say we are damn close to figuring it out.

    I tell you it would be really great if the NBA had relegation. If we were in the D league we could at least develop our talent against lesser competition and not get our asses kicked the next few years.
