    *sigh*

    I'm done. You obviously don't understand and will not allow yourself to be objective, so I am going to stop. Please do not respond.

    I'm not even going to read all the responses. However, speed has been right about one thing for sure about this team - its a false narrative that these guys can't score points. Erase that narrative and then what? It's an interesting thing to ponder. Because every thing else has improved

    I find the whole "if CJ and Lillard aren't making shots they will struggle" argument a little odd. Most teams struggle when their best players aren't scoring. That's kind of how basketball works lol.

    I'm not buying the whole charles barkley philosophy of jump shooting teams not being able to win either. Stotts system gives guys good shots. A Meyers Leonard open look beyond the arc is just as good as a LaMarcus post up.

    Last season, a Leonard three attempt was better than any LaMarcus shot, when adjusted for how many points you got from it.

    Are you that big that you needed to triple the space? That would make you, like, HCP big! :)

    No, if it is raining he'll wait to see if it continues to rain all day before preparing for a flood rather than breaking out the sandbags when the first sprinkle starts - especially if the forecast does not call for flooding.

    That is not to say for forecast is always right, but you DO take that into account.

    I'm with Strenuus on this - happy as can be with what we saw and the victory but that is just a sprinkle. Waiting for a larger sample size to start declaring we are a potential playoff team, a contender, or just very interesting with great potential.

    Gramps...

    We weren't that good in 2013-14. We hit a miraculous shot to win the first round and got our ass handed to us in round 2

    You forgot the pretender expert who said the Rockets were free falling, when they made the WCF...who was that tool again?

    So if it sprinkles for a minute or two you are convinced it will rain all day?
