Feel the pain, Nobitchki! (I don't like that guy.)

 

[Mediocre Man]

Dirk out for a while
Love and Rubio out for a while


Can we really sneak into that 8th seed?

Meh. The NBA doesn't start for real until Christmas anyway.

Ya, those first 32% of games don't matter at all.

God I hate to be less optimistic than you, but...

The problem here is that the 32% comes at the beginning of the season when we're still learning how to be a team. I expect that the majority of our wins will come later, when we're more solid. With so many new players, it's hard to be consistent at the beginning of the season. If Dirk, Love, and Rubio all went out in February instead, I'd be really smiling about it.

I was alluding to the casual fan's response.

Note to self...never forget to use the green font around here.
