Are we cursed by not winning a game that would make us .500 ?

maybe.

Bucks are playing really good ball right now. They beat a good Bulls team, killed us, and beat a good Magic team tonight. I watched a little bit of the Magic game tonight, they looked way better than their record indicates. I think they just turned a corner.

 

We better win on Friday...I paid good money for the seats!!!!

 

I fear teams like Bucks.

I fear all good rebounding teams. We need an athletic 4.

 

I hope the Rockets a little revenge on their minds on Friday.

 

Probably, you see the .500 is right at our 29-games moving average. So far we have bumped against it on several occasions and retraced back. Basically, it's a tug of war between the winners and losers at this junction. That's why the HOSTILITY INDEX remains high in this BBS. But once we can get above and stay above it for a few more games of playing, we will see more winnings coming our way. The trend line technically will then be broken, and we can clearly see a break-out to the upside for the rest of the season.

 

If my analysis is correct, we've already crossed the critical point. The shake down period is over and the outlook is bullish.

 

Well, the only concern I see in the near future is the hiking of INTEREST in Yao. I do think this is something the we have to deal with until it's over. Like you said, I do feel the bearish past from the last few years is behind us, I remain very optimistic for the rest of the decade.

 

Come Sunday night the Texans will probably have a better record than the Rockets.

 

The bubble in the high tempo sector will eventually burst, the question is when. Therefore I recommend the analyst to approach with caution. If history keeps repeating itself, the logical time is playoffs. Sector that would benefit from this includes but not limited to the slow boring defense sector.

Ok, it's getting old now.

 

Totally agree. Success does require discipline. We can't let our game-to-game emotion affects our long term strategy. As long as we have a right mix of players, it should pan out on a long run.

It's getting late. Lol
