If this is our line-up come FEB/MARCH and we can get Dragic/Green to commit 100% on defense. We will win a ring this year.
How can you say that? We've been winning without Dwight and Jones playing at all. So if Dwight can even play 30 minutes, we are golden.
We've been winning, but against what kind of competitition? Bucks, Kings, Suns, twolves? That grizz blowout was payback and just an off game for them, it wasn't a true indicator of what would happen in the playoffs. All we did was break even with them. We haven't beat GS or the Clippers. Spurs rested their guys, when we beat them. We'd do fine during the season, maybe even in round one, possibly two, but at some point we're going to go up against Memphis, Clippers, GS, OKC, or Spurs. Maybe just one, maybe two, maybe three. Any one of those teams will know to immediately attack Dwight. We're going to win a ring with a rookie anchoring the middle? An undrafted rookie? Dmo is foul prone too...so i could easily see us having to play extended minutes with , not one, but two rookies in the front court. The playoffs are just a whole other animal.
2 different times tonite, first clyde and then bill, rockets announcers gone way out of their way to complement wilson chandler……maybe they know somethin
You are off on some strange crystal ball projection. D-Mo is foul prone? Check the reality. Attack Howard?? You must be joking. There is absolutely no way to attack Howard except by fouling him. "An undrafted rookie?" Christ settle down dude. Black is relegated to garbage time once Jones returns. If you run the stats regular season performance is highly correlated with playoff performance. What a surprise! You disappoint me.
Calm down. I'm not advocating trading D-Mo for him. Wouldn't you like to have BOTH? That'd be a hell of a 2nd unit front line.
This post is laughable. You just say things like, "look we've lost to GSW twice and the clips" - How about some context? We lost to them severely undermanned and both those GSW losses (who are playing the best ball in the league by far and have had amazing health) were within reach the entire game. Did you even watch the losses to GS? if you did, you should have come away from those games not fearing them at all given how depleted we were and how healthy they've been. Memphis was one of the hottest teams in the league at the time and were tied for the best record? and we totally **** on them missing some very important players, how many dudes were they missing? 0? Things look very good and your hopeless negativism is ridiculous. we've beaten: Spurs (so what they were sitting Duncan and Manu? You don't mention our players being out) Miami (had started really well) Memphis Dallas Phoenix Sacramento (2x) (only slumping now since DMC went down) OKC (hey, they had injuries but you don't use that as an excuse for our losses so why should we use it as an excuse for theirs?) Milwaukee (just beat the clips and really aren't a bad team this year) we don't control the schedule, we just play who they put in front of us in the order they put them in front of us and we're 18 - 5 and looking pretty friggin legit doing so. The depth is pretty dang solid and a front court of Howard, Dmo, Tjones and black/dorsey getting scrub minutes isn't bad at all.
He's just a 25% shooter from three as well. Almost as if he was auditioning in front of the Rockets/Morey.... Spoiler Kidding, but he'd be a nice backup center
Hopeless negativism? Because I'm not ready to guarantee a ring with that roster, twenty sumn games into the season, before even watching them play? Yeah, ok. From swag champs to on-paper champs, huh? #onpaperchamps
