    I'm serious. Take a look at where we are, take a deep breath, and enjoy the all star break.

    usually when teams lose to the heat, that means they're done. its time to panic and trade harden for scraps.

    I am all happy that we are 40-18 at this time of the season and happy that we are in 3rd place but I am little worried about our record against the top 6 teams in each conference.... 5-6 against the West and 4-5 against the East.......teams that we have the potential to play in the playoffs

    I knew somebody would start a thread staying calm again...
    Its just annoying that there are clearly visible problems with this team that needs to be addressed and nothing has been done or at least addressed publicly. This team is a second round playoff exit at best.

    We are not at .500 and 8th seed, so I can't stay calm.

    I don't know how to feel about this thread. @Os Trigonum is always at super saiyan levels of sarcasm. At Os' current sarcastic state, does he even remember how to be sincere?

    I shouldn't have clicked this thread... my bad, I'll hold the L.

    I am happy about the record, but we cant pretend to overlook losing to lower quality teams and being out hustled. Some of these loses we should have no excuse for losing. We had big leads in the 3rd and 4th on a number of games this half of the season only to lose.

    Haven't watched the game but they shouldn't have lost this one. In any case, we've had an incredible season so far and we will win at an even greater rate after the break.

    Well it was just a season away from the worst year ever in the last 20 years and 2 seasons away from the first WCF appearance in 20 years. So maybe you could give the team time (ie more than one season) to like get back on its feet?

    It's really annoying everyone expected the team to die a dog's death this season, instead of being happy the Rox are pretty good they're instead complaining we're not contenders. Like wtf dude seriously?

    this is not a contending roster, mainly because management has no interest in building one. just another wasted year of harden's prime. an mvp caliber season is a terrible thing to waste

    I can be serious. I'm serious. But I would never go on a streak of serious. ;)
