It puts our losses in perspective since everyone else is doing the same, no?

yah I just see it as a missed oportuntity not a indictment on how we been playing. Like I love that we win but really wish we could just blow mofos out from the get go instead of heart attack mode all game lol

that's how i see it too.

while everyone else is worried about a million issues, my first thought after yesterday is now we're 2 behind miami. they lose tonight and we're right back where we were.

It would be nice, but it goes to show we aren't the only team out there in that mold sometimes.

Which is also why while games are played one at a time perspective of the team shouldn't be based as such.

Indy is killing everything at home so far this year. We will need to play at a ridiculously high level if we expect to win on Thursday. Even Hibbert The Oaf is starting to come alive.

Lin has mastered the art of the turnover. He really is special at passing the ball to the other team.

The Lakers are so sad

I don't dislike him. He works hard and does his best.

He's just overrated to hell by his cultists.

Indy is 15-6 over the last 21 and has the top defense in the Entire NBA. Paul George is showing more and more of his star potential and has developed into the teams first option on offense in addition to being an elite defender. If Granger can shore up their offense when he comes back they are Dark Horses in the East. They are also elite at home, It will be a tough game against them in a few days...

mike dantoni is a hack of a coach and it shows

He does. But so did Gallo, Chandler, and tons of other former Knicks who we thought would one day turn into superstars later on down the line. "Potential" is a dangerous word. Franchises are built and destroyed on "potential".

"Potential" is usually the word to describe a player who hasn't reached what opinion thinks they should be, although that player could potentially stay the same or regress.

I do think Lin has upside, meaning he'll get better before he gets worse, except from three.

The turnovers dont bother me much, but he needs to practice threes if he's gonna keep shooting them.

It damn near an automatic turnover.

We'll see. I dont think he was worth all the hoopla that was going on over the summer round these parts. Dudes abandoned the franchise over that. Blew my mind.

LOL @ Asstoni trying to run with the youngest team in the league that plays at the fastest pace and failing miserably. What a moron. Oh well. Even if Dwight and Pau were playing they still would have lost. Harden is playing like an MVP.

Did D'Antoni seriously try to run with the Rockets?
