    Our record would be 2-2.

    - Jeff D is gone.
    - NO was hot and we don't match up well.
    - CP3 suspended for two games.
    - Capela got paid...
    - Harden finally got his MVP...
    - New freedom of movement implementation.
    - Melo & Ennis need time.
    - Tilman's "money"
    - Utah w/extra motivation from being bounced.


    We definitely have some adversity coming out of the gate this year. It's way too early to cast judgement. After 10-15 games, we'll have a decent understanding of what we're dealing with. I can assure you, Morey is ready to play chess @ any moment. It's not how we start, it's how we finish. Get into the playoffs healthy and throw some punches (no pun)...

    we also waited 10-15 games in 15-16'.

    If we have to wait that long to figure out what we're going to be this year, then you already know we're nowhere close to winning a ring against the all-star Warriors team.

    I’d rather just panic now rather than 15 games in. Seasons over before it began. Fire Morey. Fire Antoni. Sell the team to someone who never has to worry about money. Rebrand. De-Urbanize Toyota Center.

    We would be at a minimum 3-1. Maybe 4-0. With them we were better than GS. Cant sugar coat this.

    That group had chemistry and knew how to play together. This group looks heartless, and sad.

    If we still have Luc and Ariza, we probably is standing at 3-1 instead of 1-3.

    If Paul doesn’t get baited, we’re 3-1

    Yeah it’s too early to panic but Im not liking Capella’s body language. He got paid and kind of comes off a bit douchey... might have to do with that awful thing he did to his hair

    Capela cant just "pick it up". He lost muscle mass. He's out of shape. He's not as explosive. Whether it was to protect his health since he had no contract or knew he was getting paid, he clearly did not put any work in.

    the very thing that you are calling upon 2015 means you are not entertaining rational thought and thinking scared
