What's new

Six games in and...

So, we are doing pretty good then considering we have beat 3 teams you have ranked above us?

Yes actually. 2 of those teams won't be close to making the playoffs and the third, who was missing it's best player, is a fringe playoff team. Plus they were all home games. Our record is very misleading.
 
They think blocked shots are the end-all-be-all proof that the rim is being defended. They are over-rating that category. Just look at last night's game: Jazz block a ton of shots, but Gooden does whatever the hell he wants to. Gooden. Jefferson's defense remains as big a problem as ever.

At least Gooden was having to shoot 10-15 footers to get his points instead of easy layups and dunks!
 
Sorry dont live in fantasy world. I think 80% chance we lose if Gordon had played so yes there was a chance we would have won with him. Did you notice how bad Bellinelli was.

Yes, you DO live in a fantasy world if you think you can predict the odds of a loss with such a high level of certainty if Gordon had played.

My point is irrefutable. Had Gordon played, an entirely new sequence of events would have occurred and no one (who is not clairvoyant, but then clairvoyance doesn't exist) can predict with any degree of certainty how that sequence of events would have played out.

4 of Gooden's 12 made baskets came at a distance greater than the free-throw line. Most were right next to the basket. He had 7 offensive rebounds. What game did you watch?

I knew you were going to say that.

I indeed do have ESPN so I in fact know all. :)

Maybe Sloan left just in time. There is no way Kanter and Burks would have gotten this much burn under his watch. I think expecting .500 ball is being to optimistic. We almost lost to an extremely cold-shooting, sub-par bucks team with out their best player. Not trying to be a debbie downer here but with the inevitable injuries, road trips, and just playing better teams, .333 ball is more likely.
You might not be trying but you're succeeding.
