By knux-future Go To PostTeams generally don't just go from being complete ass one year and then good the next…injuries or not. It takes time and honestly you probably don't want to get "good" right away anyway as it creates expectations your team overachieving cannot possibly meet. (see the Suns and Bucks and Sixers of old).reilo said something years ago about the amount of improvement between 15-20 wins, 30 wins, 40 wins, 50+ not being incremental but exponential
exceptionally true
By PSYCH! Go To Postdamn wtf Beal is still only 22?
summer berfday 2
Rockets numbers are seriously depressing, you got several dudes in for over 9 min scoring anywhere from ZERO to a fabulous high of FIVE points.
By PSYCH! Go To Postdamn wtf Beal is still only 22?he's just such a bitch
By DY_nasty Go To Postreilo said something years ago about the amount of improvement between 15-20 wins, 30 wins, 40 wins, 50+ not being incremental but exponentialPeople were predicting +20 win improvements with the additions of Afflalo and Lopez with KP being an unknown. Felt like such a stretch.

By reilo Go To PostPeople were predicting +20 win improvements with the additions of Afflalo and Lopez with KP being an unknown. Felt like such a stretch.Afflalo runs hot to cold, KP finally hit a prolonged down swing and Melo is either hurt or recooping from something. All of these things finally overlapped enough.
By knux-future Go To PostKendall Marshall is the Bryon Mullens of PGsnaw breh chill
By DY_nasty Go To Postnaw breh chillok maybe thats a bit harsh...he's awful right now tho
By Dark PhaZe Go To Poststrange that I never see any kemba/kaminsky pick and popKemba aint about that teamwork shit foh

Pels playing selfish again. They start doing that when their shots aren't falling. It never works out.
By PSYCH! Go To PostWarriors beat the Cavs by 34 and the Spurs by 30. How much does OKC lose by tonight?KD gon style on em.

I think OKC takes it today.
Rockets west knocks but blackace said they are contender and better than Celtics Celtics in NBA finals believe
By pilonv1 Go To PostI think OKC takes it today.this is the weakest reverse jinx attempt ever
By PSYCH! Go To Postthis is the weakest reverse jinx attempt everyea he is always worried on the low lol.
By pilonv1 Go To PostWorried that they'll be 45-5 instead of 44-5?yea but GS is on a new level compared to before.
OKC/Dubs games are usually close
No Reilo you said they would lose 9 or 13 straight. Which they still haven't done despite dealing with injuries. No one thought they'd avoid 4-5 game losing streaks. I laughed at 13
Also, all the same guys 2 months ago going "Fisher should play 8 guys - why is he playing 11" when silent when he did that for two weeks and a bunch of injuries started piling up

By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostThey won against the suns, that's the only reason they haven't lost 9 in a row.
Yea 9 game losing streaks are rare.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostOnly because teams manage to get the Nets, 76ers, Suns or Lakers in there to break up the shit.
Sure, but how is that something that refutes my point? I even said that all the teams in the east from 6-11 go on long losing streaks before this stretch started. That includes the Knicks.
Had Reilo said "I could see the Knicks hitting a rough patch where they lose 7 of 10 or 8 of 10" - no one would have said anything. But to say "I could see the Knicks losing the next 9" after they had already lost 4 at the time is where I interjected.
Yea cause losing 8 out of 9 with your sole win against the Suns at home makes my prediction and insight into the Knicks look completely wrong.
🙄🙄🙄

Your prediction and insight wasn't any different from mine or many others if you're just claiming they'd lose 8 of 10 at some point this season. You talked about the REALLY REALLY improbable outcome of 13 straight loses at a time when the team hasn't lost more than 4 in a row.
Stop being silly.
By Fenderputty Go To PostSA gave Kobe a pretty sweet send offThe battles they had were so good.

Wish I could see it. I'm stuck in the parking lot of Burbank airport waiting to pick someone up.
3ds you think Celtics can win east? Go sixers thunder sux patetic team was warriors win Celtics vs warriors NBA final pinlinv will cry of
By diehard Go To Postwe won 5 games in a row and i wouldnt be surprised at all if we lose to the SunsI honestly want to the Jazz to get 7th and Portland to get 8th and Rockets to go bye bye. Everyone wins.
FYI, Portland plays the Rockets two more times in the next 3 weeks, and both games are in Portland.
Portland will lose their 1st round pick to Denver if they make the playoffs but it'd be well worth it to see the Rockets miss it.
By reilo Go To PostI honestly want to the Jazz to get 7th and Portland to get 8th and Rockets to go bye bye. Everyone wins.We also play GS 3 times and the Spurs once. Guaranteed 4 losses imo.

"You weren't there when..." is such a tired argument here.
Like, no shit, we criticize when people suck, and in the absence of news, there is not much to say. You can't even say that the Knicks suck when they do, you can't even say that a starter shouldn't average 6&4, because eventually you'll hear "hey you sure are quiet when the team goes .500" or "when the player averages 12&8" like that's mindblowing news.
