    For once I agree with you! Though, they could be a better overall team in due time, so I can't 100% agree with you. ;)

    So I guess betting HCP's handle is out of the question ...

    It gets really annoying when someone lumps the entire forum in with Kingspeed.

    Middle of the season maybe, but Im not so sure its as big of an impact on the second game of the season.

    Its odd because speed basically thinks we're all HCP's and the HCP thinks we're all speeds.

    There are many rational fans out here that forum their own individual unique insightful opinions.

    It wasn't a miraculous shot. It was a wide open 3 and we won in 6 games. We never trailed in that series. We won 54 games in the regular season. That's not good? But now that the "not good" guys are gone, we're only going to win 24 games this year??? Makes no sense. Your argument that season was that we had no frontcourt depth if there was an injury. This year, we have incredible frontcourt depth. You make no sense.

    Hahaha, thanks!!

    Keep the game close?? We're blowing teams out this year.

    Exactly.
    I never said we were the best team. Never said we would win the championship this year. I said we are clearly BETTER than last year. Anyone with eyes can see that.

    Who said it would be? Every team in the league loses games. It's the way it goes. I've never said we wouldn't lose games nor did I say I would panic if we did.

    They haven't ACHIEVED what the last year's team did but the pieces are better and the chemistry of those pieces is better.

    Who has jumped off a bridge when we lose a game? And since WHEN "should" we lose a game. And guess what WE have no control over the outcomes of the games. The players need to keep an even keel. That is their job. As a fan, it's not my job to win games. It's my job to cheer for them. We won't play better if I don't get too high after a win.

    Exactly. It sounds like HCP is the one that wants to jump off a bridge after losses so he's overcompensating. As the season goes on, the word people will start using is "overachieving," but that is not what is happening here. The team is actually better. We are far more talented and deep. Last year, we had to heavily lean on our starters and 2 of them, Batum & Lopez, sucked. This year, we're 2, sometimes 3 deep at every position.

    Amen. Keeping yourself in "let's wait and see" mode after early season win accomplishes nothing. You don't help the team by reserving your opinion of them. I mean, after CJ hit his first three, should the crowd go silent and say "hm. It's early. I'll wait and see if he can make 5 and then I'll cheer." That is bullshit.

    I have no idea what you are referring to? I didnt write anything apparently. Or something was deleted even though I used no names, so it is impossible for that to be a personal attack.

    That's not MM's shtick. He considers himself the yin to Kingspeed's yang. Everything he does is to achieve balance in the world of RC2.

    Yes, exactly!!!!!! Everyone celebrates in their own way. Those of that choose to do it rationally are chastised by certain individuals. One in paricular.

    As a fan, I had to use the ignore function during game threads the last couple seasons or I couldn't enjoy game threads...then I'd take them off ignore after the game. This year I don't think I'll need it but if someone bothers your experience...it's a useful tool

    Sure it's allowed...there are very few posters banned from this site and I think the forum supports a balance of opinion.
