Now would be the right time for me to remind you that I said, before the season, that we would be better than garbage teams like the Grizzlies and Warriors. I was right. Mo Williams, who everyone seems to hate, is the biggest difference this season. Give our bench from last year to Warriors and Grizz and they don't make playoffs either. Mo Williams + Lopez + Stotts' system= most improved team in NBA. Oh and Matthews is te BEST SG IN THE LEAGUE this year. Fuck top 10.

Now would be the time for me to remind you I thought we would suck this year and I was 100% incorrect.
 
Is now also the right time to remind Eric about Yi Jian Lian future all-star?

Too soon?

1.) Milwaukee on the road - (Win. Enjoy the game KS!)
2.) Chicago at home(50% - Chicago took care of Indiana. I don't think they are great - but I'm not totally confident)
3.) golden state on the road (b2b) (If we win this game, it's a HUGE sign. I expect to lose this one.)
4.) New York at home (lol.)
5.) Phoenix on the road (I think the boys will be pissed flying into PHO and take care of business)
6.) Lakers on the road (They are just bad. Kobe or not, this is a win.)
7.) Indiana at home (b2b) (I dunno. I think we can beat this team. Just a feeling. Another key game, though. And a huge tell tale game.)
8.) OKC at home - (I'm gonna put this up as a win, but it's real close to 50%)
9.) Utah at home - (lol)
10.) Dallas at home (b2b) - (An easy win, they haven't looked good at all.)

I see really only 3 games of concern here.

Chicago and GS B2B, and the Indiana game.

I don't consider the utah dallas game to be a bad b2b. We've seen that they can handle b2b's so i'm not worried.

If we can go 2-1 against Chicago GS and Indana I will consider that this team can fight for HCA.

I think we can go 7-3 on this.

I've done well so far. :clap:

A car hit my house and we're currently in a rental. I was going to get it when we moved back in, but now I'm not so sure. We've been winning like at no other clip when I had NBALP, so I don't want to jinx it.

If we go 6-4, that would be a serious accomplishment!

And wtf?! 6 b2b games in the first 21 games?! Who made this schedule?

Going pretty well so far. Damn Phoenix
 
7-1 during this, so we can do no worse than my prediction of 7-3

You are welcome.

Why do you see us losing to either Indiana or OKC at home?

Why do you see us losing to either Chicago or Lakers?

We have a better record than all those teams except Indiana, and they are only 3-1 on the road.

Yes but according to you, we're an average team. According to what you've been saying lately, we should've lost those games.

I said we will end the season average. I have been saying we are very good right now. Again, reading into what I am saying or reading peoples response to me and assuming.

Love getting called out for positive posts as well. this place rocks. Nice job mods

Okay. So you think we will finish the season 25-38. Make your case. Tell me why you think this and offer evidence to support your claim. I'm listening.

As said again, like 1000 times, I believe the team will suffer an injury on the front line (likely Lopez because of his history) and our replacement for him is Joel Freeland who is young and will get abused playing 30 minutes a night.

Disagree and leave it alone instead of badgering. It's my opinion your is different. Respect it and move on. I have never said anything that would give someone the impression I talk out of my ass when it comes to basketball. If I'm wrong I will happily admit it. I have already said they are playing way better than I thought they would

cant really blame him for being scared of blazer injuries, they often seem to strike when we are the most excited

That's all you have? We might have an injury? Lopez played 82 games last year. Lame argument. Like magnifier said, you must be counting out OKC and Houston too since Westbrook and Howard have an injury history too. What a weak weak argument.
 
Fun fact: we and Detroit are currently on 3-game winning streaks. This leads the NBA right now.
 
I mean why don't you just say "barring injuries, we're a contender"? Since that's your only concern! We all agree with that. Duh!

If they go down they are/ I believe Lopez will. Why is that so hard to understand? I hope he doesn't and the team wins the rest of their games. It's simply not what I think will happen based on prior years

Do you believe Howard, love and Westbrook will too? They have history. That's your model right? Or is it just a guy feeling again?

60/51/67

Do you know what those numbers are, Eric?
 
so you actually think it is probable? how many games will lopez miss?

Gut feeling with Lopez

Love will get hurt (he always seems to)
Howard has had issues in the past, but I don't think he will
Westbrook was a fluke injury
 
if lopez misses 20 games...what, they go 0-20?

im not following, what is the point? that they then miss the playoffs?

you know how lame it will be if he injures himself and you start gloating about being right?

wtf are you doing man, push the abort button on this one

Lopez had issues in the past, then 82 games without injury last season; yet you can adjust your model accordingly?

I agree about Westbrook though. Actually I think your model is broken and don't think any will have injury this season (knock on wood). Because I think only one of the players I mentioned above have reoccurring injuries.

I said at the beginning of the year that I felt they would be mediocre at best due to injuries and a lack of front court experience. That's how this all started. Even though they have been playing way better than I thought they would, changing my opinion after 19 games seems stupid to me. The same would be said if I thought they were going to the western conference finals before the season and they started out 3-16 because of injuries. I wouldn't change my opinion until after the break. It's what I have done each season. You guys are arguing just to argue
