What about late December 2013 when you panicked about beating OKC, much less winning the championship? We had a long ass discussion back then when you lost faith again.

This is actually a much different team, and they simply don't need to be their best 6 games into the season. There's time for trades, injuries, all sorts of things. Pop will toy with linueps until the All Star break, like he always does.

Prognosticating that they won't win it all it's the easiest thing in the world. You will always have the greatest odds. Maybe we'll become the best team we can be or maybe not. But we won't really know until Feb/March, with all the pieces in place, everyone adjusted, etc.

Oh, you mean back before we knew Ibaka would miss the first two games of the WCF and remain hobbled throughout?

Their style is different, but 7 of the top 8 players remain. The same 7 who have struggled mightily to gain and maintain separation in games for a year plus, no matter the opposition or situation.

Pointing out viable concerns isn't prognosticating that they won't win it all. The easiest thing in the world, is blind faith, which is all you have and why you're a cliche, vanilla fan. If they win, you can pretend to have believed the entire time; if they lose, you can pretend you supported your team more than those who have original opinions.

Sure, if you want to integrate him, now is the time. I just hope he can play alongside Kawhi, Danny or Tim and have some help defensively. That's all I meant about tweaking the rotation.

Good point. It looks like he may have lost a step.

[BillMc]

Clippers - Houston. Man who to root for in that matchup? I guess the Rockets...

This is silly. Who has blind faith? I just said they might or might not be the best they can be. That's in the cards. Game 6 in the regular season won't somehow tell you the future, especially on a team that's in the middle of a transformation.

I have my own concerns that I have expressed, with Tony and what not. I also have been greatly impressed with some defensive stretches.

But there's no way game #6 (or #20 for that matter) is going to make me concerned or alarmed with the team's outlook. If it does to you, c'est la vie. I just can't agree with that.

Now something tangible like an injury could.

Blind faith, cliche, vanilla takes and a lack of reading comprehension about sums you up.

ok... will be waiting for the "This team can't beat the Warriors" thread mid-december... I promise I won't post there.

Need to get Tony and LMA involved early. Kawhi needs to focus on getting his shots in the flow of the offense instead of ISOs.
