What's Next Rip City - season hype video

[THE HCP]

PLETHORA?! THE HCP got himself a new thesaurus to start the season. I think he really is excited, but trying to play it cool.

Let’s just say I took a couple online summer classes through an S2 program Denny set up. #Edgucation

Nobody's dismissing 40 wins and the 10th seed as a possibility--just as an inevitability, which is how you've repeatedly presented it.

What's dismissive about what you typed above? Saying we have no backup PF or C, saying Nas can't stay healthy for more than 5 straight games, ignoring the acquisition of GP2, minimizing Watford's growth into a legit NBA player, omitting mention of Nurk entirely...basically everything except what you said about Dame, Hart and Ant.

I don't care that you don't agree with me. There are tons of posters who don't agree with me. What bothers me is when you present yourself as superior to posters who choose to look forward to this season with optimism.

Platy, would you say any posters that think we will win a ton of games, treat others who are more pessimistic as if they are superior?

Well, that's a belief you have which might turn out to be right. But it might not.

Let's just say that when a guy is drafted at the end of the first round and plays behind two great or very good players in his position, it's ok if it takes him 4 years to break out (Ant), but a guy that was drafted closer to the top-end of the draft, seems to be more NBA ready body wise and will likely have much less great competition ahead of him in the SF position, might be productive earlier than that. Of course, I have no idea if he is or not, but I was pretty sure Ant would be something since the very first summer league game I saw him play.

I wouldn’t be surprised to se Josh Hart have his best year. He could be a huge factor in the team taking a big step.

That Denny. Anything to get THE HCP out of the house.

Possibly. In my experience, the negative condescend to the positive much more often and greatly than the reverse.

I don't know if I agree with that, but I certainly haven't seen as many posts as you.
