Seeing Webster and Howard in our top 5 makes me wonder how we won as many games as we did....

None of these guys will be on the team next year. Crazy.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Assuming no trades.....I know, not a big assumption, and Nate sticks with his ridiculaous substitution pattern.

Check out the top 3 guys on the list and find the answer. Especially the 2nd and 3rd guys

Even the order those 3 are in doesn't seem like it would set us up to win 50+ games. Ideally Roy wouldn't play 500 less minutes than LMA, and Miller would be #4-#5 on that list given his age. However, we found a way to make last years team serviceable, nothing to be ashamed of there....

When I look at the breakdown on that last I cant help but wonder what it would look like if we had the Thunder's luck on injuries last year. Or what it would like this year. As deep as we are it would be nice to see those minutes spread out more.

Assclown kicked ass. We got lucky with our coach and his unwillingness to let injuries stand in the way.

Cue meltdown from the MM/Odd corner in 5, 4, 3, ...

No meltdown from me. I know the reason we won so many games, and others have their reasons, simple as that. Hopefully the team will have a good year and everyone will be happy.

Assclown McScribbles is my all-time favorite nickname. I have no idea why, but it makes me laugh every time.

And I actually think Nate is a decent (albeit not great) coach.
