I believe we can eliminate the warriors (let alone spurs)

    If we eliminated the Warriors from existence...

    https://theringer.com/2017-nba-playoffs-the-leftovers-eb3a68699e0b

    NBA Finals
    Houston Rockets vs. Washington Wizards

    Honestly, if I had to pick, I’d say the Rockets are the third-best team in the NBA. It’s a tight battle between them and the Spurs — Houston has the no. 2 offense in the NBA and a mediocre defense, San Antonio has the no. 1 defense in the NBA and a good offense. The Spurs had the better record and are up 3–2 in their series, but I’m still riding with the Rockets’ Live By The 3, Live Even More By The 3 offense if I have to pick a champion for a league with no Warriors or Cavs.

    But my belief that they’d win in this universe is not based on that. As anybody familiar with the universe of the 1996 documentary Space Jam knows, the Rockets are built for these situations: Take away the NBA’s best player, have aliens zap the talent from five other superstars, and the Rockets somehow remain unaffected, a championship-level squad in a world where others have stranger things to worry about than championships. They dominated the Jordan Absence of the mid-1990s, and they will be champions if ever the league’s superstars vanish once more. Rockets in six.

    It'll be like the 7 samurai vs an army of T800s from the terminator.

    How many good threads are there really? The best way to be rid of bad threads is not to reply to them anyway. You are as culpable as anybody.

    Once you are banned from privileges they will just forget and not check up on it. Thats how it was for me on my old account. Your best bet is to start a new account at a different ip address when registration opens again

    I like the way you think. In fact, why don't we just start chucking them from midcourt? Anderson's only a few steps away from there anyway when he shoots. We could probably cram 100+ attempts in that way, easily.

    Sigh, I was hoping you'd provide logical reasoning for why you'd think that. Instead I get a 3 year old meme gif

    Nope, we have not gone through enough failures to learn from them yet....this is as far as this team can go, maybe beat the Spurs.

    We are fighting with the Spurs to get crushed by the Warriors....maybe win 1 game....
