not only are they not perfect, they are barely even a playoff team when you check the schedule and realize they are 4 games below .500 in sample size that spans over half a season. and overall they are 9 games below .500 against .500 or better teams. those are numbers that mediocre teams have.
Like I've said MANY times. They're not as good as they were at the beginning of the season...and they're not as bad as many posters make them out to be...there are people on here who actually think they're like a bottom 3 team...which is beyond ridiculous.
they're not as good as they were at the beginning of the season, but they are as bad as their record in the last 3 months (which again is a large enough sample size of 40+ games to ascertain), and their record against .500 or better teams, would indicate.
Bulls always spank us and we didn't have Lowry..
Its called managing expectations.
and the bulls didn't have rose and scored 39 points on 75% shooting in a quarter. the night after giving up 37 points in a quarter to an even worse offensive team. but it's okay, the bulls always spank us anyway! it's fine! the pistons have andre drummond! the pelicans are underrated! the d-league knicks just wanted it more when we lost to them a month ago! all about managing expectations!
give me a break. i'll take the playoffs over ping pong balls (depending on how many) any day and i'll be cheering my ass off then. i'm even making the trip down to NYC next weekend to support them in brooklyn. but people have every right to vent their frustrations about where this season is headed -- and more so the harsh reality that this team is still miles away from actually contending -- after the excellent but unsustainable start.
