    We were all pretty optimistic last week. Heck, ESPN even picked us to trend up on the standings.

    I hope they miss the playoffs. Let's say they make 11th seed. I guarantee you Tilman will say something like "I believe in this team, at least we weren't 12th."

    Hopefully, we will be able to counter. Line up tweaks still possible and perhaps even give Bruno a look. Not ready to throw the towel yet.

    Guys, OP was just dyslexic.

    He meant we're going to be playing the second seed!

    Me either. Truth be told I really think we have a better shot as underdogs anyway. There is just way too much pressure on James and Russ. I’d rather people expect us to lose in round 1.

    We clearly have a gem in Jeff green. There has to be a way to maximize this roster. We have yet to see it because even when fully healthy we can’t get EGO going. Him playing like should be in the g league all year really hurts. I just hope by playoff time he can find his way.

    We have 20 or so games to figure it out. I don’t care if we lose some games experimenting with lineups. Do whatever it takes even if some guys get feelings hurt.

    The conclusion is very simple, you cannot be considered a contender if you are one of the most inconsistent and irregular teams in the league. We were defeated by two of the most pathetic teams in the league in 5 days. There is nothing more to say.

    We were very inconsistent in 95 also. Maybe you dont need to be a contender to sneak in a championship. We know this team can beat anyone.

    You are referring to the exception and not the rule.
    Another thing ... do you really think this team can be compared to the 1995 team? Good luck my friend!

    Sure. 2 hall of famers with a bunch good role players. Different era of course but dont discount this team. If we have month like we had in february during the playoffs we can make some noise. Our offense was somewhat unique back then as well.

    this thread will mark the turning point of our season

    I knew this thread would bring nothing but bad vibes and negative juju because OP’s work is not to be trusted

    I think this thread needs to be scrubbed off CF servers effective immediately...its very presence angers the basketball gods
