I just saw on Twitter that Eric Bledsoe said that Kentucky would definitely beat our team.

I'm going to the game Friday night versus Phoenix. Really hope we win now. Enjoy the 9th seed world, EBled!

I'm definitely looking forward to heckling Bledsoe now on Friday. Gotta do my research...

We play in a historically bad conference. Right now, we are in a position to become one of the worst, if not the worst NBA team in league history. None of your examples come close to our situation. Wade was already an established superstar by the time. Also, he missed 30 games of the 2007 season, so the Heat probably choose to tank. Boogie and Love play in the tough conference, Kyrie's Cavaliers were arguably not near as awful as the Sixers. Also, you just mentioned players that have already emerged as stars in this league. We don't know that yet about MCW and Noel. They may end up to be impact players as well, or they may become obscure players of a terrible team.

It is not about that we lose ton of games. As you remark, these guys did it as well. However, these teams were at least somewhat competitive, whereas our squad is just terrible to begin with. One reason may be that our supposed talents are not as good as we wish they are.

In general, you also get an idea of a player's trajectory after two or three years of playing (obviously, there are some outliers like Dragic, Billups and so on). I fully expect that MCW matures his game in the next couple of years. Then we may have a idea what we have got with MCW. So in a sense, it does matter how MCW performs this year and whether he can improve on his game. If he makes strides, this would also translate into more wins. For now, Noel gets a pass since bigs tend to develop longer.

The point is that it does matter to an extent if we are competitive (like in a couple of games this year) or best case, if we can even grab some wins.

The eastern conference has been awful for a decade and a half, thats nothing new. In fact last year we actually had all our playoff teams over .500 (I think)

Why do you give a tanking heat a pass on their record? Do we get one, we choose to tank? Since Kyrie's team isn't that bad and he plays in the worst conference in ever shouldn't he elevate his team beyond being one of the 20 worst teams of all time? The point wasn't that those players emerged as stars, the point was that great players somehow find a way to win. Obviously these guys didn't. You can make qualifiers but the premise doesn't hold water. I'm arguing that specific point.

MCW has a ton to work on and isn't even close to where I or anyone wants him but last year didn't give you a sense of where he could go? His game just isn't going to consistently shine w/o capable teammates, imo. You'll see flashes of it like last year but it will never be consistent. I don't expect a lot of improvement on his jumper because that comes from reps he just could not have gotten over the summer due to surgery. I'm hoping his decision making becomes more solid this year.

Noels hands cost him a rebound then 2 pts.
