    no doubt, we’d be 9-12 at that point and would have to go 41-20 from that point just to get to 50 wins...Morey has to know that this team is not good enough to win a title as currently constructed

    we are lucky that the West as a whole is mediocre so we haven’t dug ourselves a huge hole with this start...we’re only 3 games back from the 1st seed

    The good news is .. It's a long season, and the entire west is struggling a lot more than usual. If someone told me the west would have a #1 seed team that lost 7 games before the end of November and that only 5 games separated the 1st - 14th seeding (at the beginning of the season) I'd have thought you were on some really good drugs.

    The whole West is playing badly, let's see how it looks in January.

    Houston definitely needs a bench though

    I read your stupid post. Look at the idiotic title of this thread. What was the point? It was completely worthless just trying to instill panic. Good lord.

    Cleveland isnt bad as you say they have been playing well lately and have beaten and or kept it close with good teams but you're ignorant so you dont get the context. Bad loss yea? Impossible to come back from, no. LOL oooh thank you, I so needed you to tell me how we could LOSE our next three games. I know the teams just fine, also no one needs your help or this thread.

    Really just watch ball more and comment less. Morey doesnt need your opinion either.

    For every 20 pts that scorer would make, he would give up 30. Not worth it. Worst defender on the team. Not to mention he completely messed up the defensive rotations. The other players you mentioned can be moved for a decent role player if the picks are right. I still have faith we'll be making a trade soon.

    We need another wing, bad, no question. But y'all start cliff-jumping at first sign of distress...Rockets will win the next 3, Chris Paul won't be resting.

    It isn’t first sign brother. It’s 21 games in the season and we are sitting at .500....hope so, and like I said, I think we win next 3 more likely than we lose, BUT losing next 3 is a very real possibility specially knowing how the next 3 opponents have been playing lately. It certainly isn’t ideal and it’s ok to address issues.

    One season Wilt averaged MORE than 48 minutes per game. While averaging 50+ points and 25+ rebounds.

    Plus he never fouled out of a game his entire career. :eek:

    Something tells me that will never happen again.

    Wilt Chamberlain didn't play in a Physical League with same height as him with as many teams as now.
    His Record as is Babe Ruth, with Pitchers not throwing as hard, Bullpen Pitchers not throwing hard with better Pitching Deliveries and less teams.

    Don't know how this thread got about Wilt, but I will tell you this, he would dominate the NBA at any point in its history including the present. He was a combo of Shaq and Dream on steroids. He was the GOAT at his position. There have been many great NBA centers, but none exactly like him. He was a true freak of nature.

    is it true that he could dunk from FT line so they made it illegal?

    Not sure that is legend or fact. Does anyone else know?

    Actually no. His switching defense wasn't nearly as bad as you claim. The defense wasn't even a problem towards the end, it was our offense. Have you watched a game this season?

    We need to run but we don’t have finishers outside of Harden Capela and Paul. And we’re slowing it down and watching Harden too much. Speed it up. Attack inside AND out. Don’t just heave a bunch of last second threes.

    Can’t do this without securing the rebound though...

    Welp, this thread was made, and I thought there was only a 40% chance we would lose the next 3, but saw it as a REAL possibility. Yeah we haven’t had CP3 but what guaranteed he would play? But it hasn’t been just regular losses, it’s has been embarrassing losses with 0 defense. 2/3 of the way there...smh
