    I'm just really happy to be rooting for a team that never causes me to use the word "gutless".

    I have to admit they are growing on me. Don’t love what I see yet because I’m not really sure what I’m looking at, but I think I see a little side boob. It’s got my attention.

    Toronto was also lucky to play warriors without durant for the entire series (not game and a half like for Rockets) and without klay for practically the entire series.

    The harden rockets teams for me were not fun to watch but we knew they would contend. I didn't really watch most of the games and just really checked out the boxscore.

    This team is not a contender but they are fun to watch. Not sure what I like more yet to be honest

    Yeah, it isn’t. Loving it the effort and the win streak, but it’s not the team we are moving forward with. I don’t mind enjoying the ride while it lasts, which is probably trade deadline.

    You have no idea what's going to happen, so STFU until something changes.

    LOL don’t we know though? It’s pretty obvious. Stockpiling picks, expiring contracts, etc. We’ve been through this before.

    Let’s make a tip jar bet of USD 200. This is not the team we’re moving forward with.

    As we set now (at #10), we have the potential to climb into the 4-6 seed range. That's significantly better than I was thinking before. Of course its a long season and lots can happen, but this is a REAL team and I really like what we're seeing and believe its going to get even better.

    There is a fine line i guess. But this team is looking to be set up nice if they do trade Oladipo. While using cap space and their assets later. Meaning they could be young and set up for a good 5 year run. Which in my opinion is crazy because I just did not expect that at all.

    I'm down. I'll bet $50 tip jar that Oladpio is still on the team at the trade deadline. You in?

    Sure, why not? I think Tucker is out too, but for the purpose of the bet, let’s keep it to Oladipo.

    Should be fun, i guess they should just let this team jell and play out. There defense presence alone makes you not want to even touch the roster. Defense wins championships.
