    Seriously!!! We were 13-28 last season. 16-20 is damn good! This year was about beating all the bad teams on the road. Next year, we'll beat some of the good teams too and that will put us firmly in the running for the #1 spot. I loved watching Oden shove LeBron to the side. That is some serious foreshadowing!! Is there a whole thread about that moment somewhere? I was out of town all weekend. Just watched the last two games.

    It's the 11th best road record in the league. Winning on the road is not easy in this league and we've gotten much better at it this year. You've got to be proud that we've made this step further. Next year, we'll get even better.

    16-20 on the road is not bad. We continue to improve, and that's all I want to see from us every year.

    This isn't the kind of thread that should exist.

    Wait a second, you're actually asking someone else to not over-react to something?

    This is priceless.
