    I'm so confused.... Platypus wasn't quoting Dviss when he said that.... Dviss replied to a post by Platypus from over a month ago.

    And then they resolved their differences like adults.... wtf is happening here!?!?!

    This is what happens when you get to playoff wins in a row and have a chance at winning the series! :dunno:

    Plus I have lots of respect for him as a poster.

    Dude, we had that game closing lineup for 5 games. You can't know how we would've played in playoffs. We still had both our All Stars and only won one game. You're not contender if losing one role player causes you to get bumped in the FIRST ROUND in FIVE GAMES. That team was weak minded. This team is way better.

    Exactly. Our team is better this year. There'd be an asterisk near every championship if you took into account injuries. Injuries happen.

    OK, I'll man up and admit I was wrong.

    By making it to the second round of the play-offs, this roster has officially put together a better season than what last year's roster accomplished.

    Yep. All gravy from here. Only 8 teams make it this far. EIGHT. We were supposed to be the 14th best team in our conference! Now we're the top EIGHT in the ENTIRE league.

    Suck it, experts.

    We had draft picks last year, this year we don't have any. So we're not as good as we were last season draft wise.

    71 points in 2 quarters. Just like we demonstrated in preseason.

    We aren't 'better" than last years team.
    We had less injuries, that's for sure. We lucked out and had the opposing team we played in the first round lose their two best players, so we advanced.
    The west wasn't as solid as in years past.
    Last years team would beat this team in a series, no doubt.
    This years team would have been swept by last years 1st round opponent, Memphis.

    This years team played out of their collective minds! This years team was WAY more fun to watch. This years team was easier to root for with the whole underdog status. I loved this years team way more than last.

    That said, we aren't "better", but I would say they had a more successful season considering the low expectations.
    Proud of THIS year's team, but they aren't "better"

    Hope NEXT year's team is better than THIS one!
