Why do all the other teams lose games as well? I imagine it's similar to why we lose some games. We do have one of the better records in the west against teams .500 and above.

I'm really sick of that line of thinking. Sure, there is a lot of parity right now and teams that have no business struggling are doing so but at some point if they are going to keep the same GM, the same coach, and the same roster shouldn't the expectations be that they eventually break free from the pack and start some sort of upward growth? If you're going to credit last year as breaking from the pack and earning the 3rd seed that is fine but I think that also means that it's fair to question why instead of building upon that they are right back to battling for even making the playoffs this year.

This team should be a well oiled machine by now. The 10-3 start was great and no one is expecting them to win like that at a 77% clip but to then lose 8 out of their next 11 games and 10 out of 15 is inexcusable without a major injury.

Damn we all know that’s not true but why not say the Blazers are going to the WCF
 
Harden just beat 4 all stars without Gordon and CP3. He is the GOAT

Theres a lot of mediocre coaches, but a lot of teams are close to us, but they have less talent. A lot of teams lose from missing shots, or not succeeding in trying to get good interior shots, or not having cohesive pieces, or because the other team simply out plays them, etc.

Often times, that's not our case. Often times, it's simple, controllable things.
 
How long are we going to ignore the fact that Spurs have been annihiliating teams for the last month? Amazing set of results that inlcludes 13-point wins over Lakers and Utah, 38-point win over Clippers, 27-point win over Sxiers, 26-point win over Timberwolves, 8-point win over Nuggets, 11-point win over Clippers, 9-point win over Celtics and now 18-point win over Raptors. 11-3 in the last 14

DeRozan is going to be an All Star, it looks like.

Why the fuck isn't he getting technicals for that bullshit!

And how the fuck do the refs not call Durant out of bounds when he took 4 steps out of bounds before saving the ball.

I didn't see the play. Do you have it?

A player may legally save the ball to himself if he reestablished both feet in bounds before touching it again.

I'd need to see the play.

I watch it he had both feet out bounds by 3 feet the referees total blew it that play. He was already out of bounds when he threw it back in to one of own player for a score. If it wasn't for Harden great shot at the end the ref would cost Houston the game.
 
Gonna get on my soapbox for a minute.

It's a dumb excuse for something this egregious but I have a problem with this lack of contrast in colors between the jersey and the floor. It pisses me off that teams can wear whatever color they choose but there is a reason why it was always home whites and road darks for decades.

This bright yellow jersey combo with their court design offers no contrast whatsoever. I feel the same way when we wear our bright red alternates at home.

Can we please go back to the way it was? Hell I can't even tell where these games are held sometimes with all this jersey switching without paying attention to center court. Our eyes and brains just aren't trained for these constant changes. It's annoying as hell.
 
We had a call just like this in our favor in one of Dame's most memorable games:
Look at Aldridge save the ball inbounds about 7 mins in.



Or one that went against us:
