The bottom line is...

[DaRizzle]

Why would you have Oden in your multi-championship lineup if you think he hurts the team more than he helps?

Furthermore why did no big name player have to leave to get Lebron?

I mostly just like how Kingspeed is saying if Oden made those free throws we'd win despite the fact Denver would have had 4 seconds left with a one point deficit. I believe Miller's layups were missed with a minute or 40 some seconds left so Atlanta would have had plenty of time itself. Considering how we were guarding the perimeter they probably would have still won.

But who cares about such silly things as time left in regulation?

And who cares about everything that happened before those events? Had our franchise player (Travis Outlaw) hit one more shot in either of those games, Portland would have had two extra points by that point and Oden's missed free throws or Miller's missed layup wouldn't have mattered.

Outlaw blew those games. And every other close game. The logic is inescapable!

What? The Cavs would want value for LJ? Who woulda thought?

 

[KingSpeed]

Based on KingSpeed's previous posts, what I infer from his posts is that he's trying to say "Relax, guys, it's all the fault of Miller and Oden. Everyone else is doing great. If they hadn't single-handedly lost two games, the team would have a good record." That's not very level-headed, if my interpretation is right.

Your interpretation is wrong.

Your interpretation is wrong.

Actually, it's more of an interpolation.

I'd give up Outlaw straight up. Win-win for both teams.

It was an interpretation interspersed with interpolations.
