Nik, you know me. When people were on here saying we were heading to the finals, I was telling people to be realistic...... When people came on here and were shitting on our guys for only winning by 7 instead of 27, I called them out and told them a W is a W. I keep it real either way and these guys are blasting me for claiming we don't have much talent and won't make the playoffs.
Curious why I'm getting drilled for calling it like myself and majority of the "experts" are saying.
Man, I was told you had thicker skin than that!

I was just drillin ya back man. If you like tossing punches around here then you should be able to take them, right.

. With that said, I mean nothing by it, just good banter in my opinion.
I think the problem most have, including myself, is that for those that like to try to be optimistic (Why be a pissed off negative fan? I'm a fan because I love it, not because I expect it), it seems you try to suck the life out of that fun with the way you present your view and tell those of us that are hopefull we are crazy. I would say that is the bulk of why your getting "drilled". If this team wins 20 or less this season, I will view it as a failure, but I wont be mad or pissed, it is what it is... a game. I will still be happy to have enjoyed watching, what seems to be a very exciting, fast paced, team basketball. I will not be hating. Don't get me wrong. During game time, I can get pretty upset, but mostly at the refs.
On the serious, there have now been "experts" who are back tracking on their original viewpoint of this team.
This team is more athletic, versatile and less dependent on one figure than last year. This team is young and inexperienced, but just handed the champs a legit first half ass whooping. So wont experience make them better? Hence a good upside for the majority of our roster on TOP of just handing it to the champs?
I expect this team to win 35-40 games, and will be super ecstatic if they hit my mark of 42+. In reality I know its a long shot, but in reality, it's not impossible.
Okay, ya got me. I laughed at that.
