    We are a much more talented team than last year 1-15. Don't listen to the "experts,". NONE of them picked us to even make playoffs at the start of the 2013-14 season, and we ended up making it to the 2nd round. Most experts will say "oh they lost 4 starters so they'll be worst in West" without paying attention to all the talent we have on our team now. And they will be wrong. Think 2013-14 Suns but better. That Suns team was predicted to finish dead last by everyone and they ended up nearly making the playoffs.

    HCP trashes S2 when this board gets on the team for playing like shit.

    "Support our boys."

    HCP trashes S2 when this board does the exact opposite.

    HCP is predictable.

    The HD broadcast still looks non-HD.

    Because most of your arguments are against strawmen.

    Nothing wrong with some people here being excited for a few of our young guys. Nearly all the posters here expect a losing season. We're all fans and some want to think about the fun storylines with it and hope for an exciting style of basketball.

    I say celebrate every damn preseason win we get because we ain't gonna be celebrating a 'chip.

    Some people like to stay on an even keel around here. Lots don't.

    Keep on keeping on.

    You're "getting drilled" because you keep trying to tell people how to think and acting like you're somehow a better fan than people who are optimistic about this season.

    I think they're worth a playoff spot. Some of the players we let go like Rolo or Batum I would have liked to keep but both these players also weren't supposed to be that good when they came here.
    I like our big-men rotation, would like it even more when Alexander is healthy, I like that we have a deep rotation of talented players and that Stotts can feel more free with his substitutions unlike last year when players played more than they deserved because they had all-star status.
    I think we are very talented in the back-court as well. Dame, CJ, Frazier, Crabbe, are very good players to have on the court, most of them aren't the Lemarcus type who get minutes becasue they put up big numbers but the type that puts up good numbers in the plus-minus category. The Knicks beat the Wizards with Rolo getting like 7 and 3 but with the highest plus-minus on the team. I always liked Rolo better than Lamarcus and always will.
    I think this team has maybe more Indians and less Chiefs which to me is what makes a good Team. I think we're gonna outplay the early projections and could even make the playoffs, I don't play for the lottery and I don't care for any team that does. I like this team and expect at least a fun season with happier basketball. Looking forward to it

    We know the H stands for "Hater." What does the "P stand for?

    Why are you guys blasting HCP when you should be blasting ME? I called our impending suckage before HCP did.

    Crabbe looks good now. Lets see at the half way season mark. I'm hoping he is more than what the coaching staff envisions.
