As the season winds down, these games pick up the intensity. We just played the Mavs twice, another team motivated to make a post season run, the current champions, even though the composition of their team has changed quite a bit. Irregardless, our cracks are showing. We are way soft in the interior and our injuries are running us up short on the perimeter. We are having to overplay guys and the rubber is burning off the tires and the chasis is getting loose. This is our team guys. No All-Star. No superstars. Just a bunch of hard working cranks trying to get it done. Teams we have no chance to beat in a 7-game series: 1. Los Angeles Lakers 2. San Antonio Spurs 3. Dallas Mavericks 4. Memphis Grizzlies Teams we probably won't beat but may get lucky and run it to 7 games and may get luck and actually beat them: 1. Oklahoma City Thunder Teams we may have a chance to beat: 1. Los Angeles Clippers 2. Utah Jazz 3. Denver Nuggets Teams not in the playoffs that would probably beat us in a 7-game series if they got in the playoffs: 1. Minnesota Timberwolves 2. Phoenix Suns Teams we will most likely see in the first round IF we make the playoffs: 1. Thunder 2. Spurs 3. Lakers This is who we are.
Hey guys, did you know! When your starting PG and SG are out for 10 or so games, your perimeter game starts to suffer!
He's Robert Horry. You're Patrick Patterson. You are just saying what people are saying on this board after a game.
Lol at the "knee jerk" comment every time someone tries to point out our deficiencies. No this isnt a knee jerk reaction to one game, we have been soft for a couple years now.
We were playing them on the 2nd night of a back to back after a long OT game that was basically a track meet. No need to overreact
Irregardless isn't a word............... I'm sorry.... losing isn't fun. Neither are injuries. Houston Sports........................................
You don't see me running around postin "Knee Jerk" on new threads. Not getting any help from this board has kept me @ chase budinger status, but i could careless. I respect the people who are been here longer than i am. That's all.
And I am Kevin Martin, was Aaron Brooks, an ex-player in Guangdong. This is ridiculous. Although I hate being Kevin Martin.
Not sure why this is a surprise. Lowry's out, Martin's out...we have exactly two game changers on the team: Dragic and Parsons. Of course cracks would show, and the team would fold, we're relying on Boykins and Camby to be the x factor lol.
not to derail the thread... but i never have understood these rankings on our user cp... is it based on reps or something? or something the mods assign?
they didn't upgrade it ... If you are in the minus, you are still Artest's spotty shot selection. We all know there is no Artest any more, the World is in peace.
Everyone has a chance to beat everyone. To use absolutes is ridiculous. We'll see when the playoffs happen. Every team is an injury away from being a contender to a pretender.
Even when healthy, we are a superstar away from contending for anything. When not healthy, we are left scrapping around for an 8th seed. And with all due respect, we really should be pulling a Charlotte.
