Should be a solid 20 point loss.

If the C's can produce a decent amount of offense and don't turn it over, they have a chance. Else, it will be hard as I do expect the 6ers to definitely push for a win and a convincing one at that.
Good assessment:

We are **** regardless. :lol:

Not really. Unless you care more about Kyrie's reputation than the team I guess. If we win, it's a great win. Up there with the best of the season.


That's my bad. I wasn't clear. I meant us non negative guys are going to have to read and deal with all the sissy cry babies cry and be negative about something regardless of winning or losing.

Marcus Morris deserves all the credit in the world for trying to get across to his teammates (mainly the young ones) that they have a real chance at a championship and to quit pissing it away on ego, pettiness and selfishness. Buckle down and work hard.

Not popular but true.

First game all season where I don’t even what to watch the game.

I’ve seen every one of our games this season, start to finish. I usually record about 70% of our games and watch it the same night when I get home.

I usually can watch a game in about an hour, forwarding FTs, commercials and halftime. But I’m not sure I want to watch Tuesdays game.

I’m a little biased when it comes to the Morris twins and will most likely meet Marcus when he comes to L.A next month.

But I agree with this. My buddy knows both of the brothers and always says good things about them, especially Marcus.

Very concerned.
All of your points are ABSOLUTELY valid reasons to be very concerned.

But we still have the potential to win and therefore I CHOOSE to think positively & root my butt off.

Joe, the problem is your 10 year track record of truly relentless negative predictions - the majority of which have fortunately been wrong. Did you somehow forget that during our great runs between 2008-2011, you predicted that we would lose every single PO series & you predicted losses in game threads more times than I can count - often before half time? It is hard to forget that stuff - even when you present absolutely valid reasons why we are clearly underdogs tomorrow. Try shocking the board, changing your stripes & being positive half of the time. :0)

I say a lot of things on game threads. Don't remember asking to blow it up but if I did it was probably just a frustration post, to be quickly forgotten much like the game.

Not too long ago you quoted me laughing at my post for saying I've thought this was always the most talented team in the East until the Sixers made their moves. Been saying guys like JB would turn things around since day 1. Been spamming the fact that we are 25 and 11 since the 10-10 start and until the last two ass of shame performances we had won like 10 out of 11. Been asking for patience with Gordon while guys were busting his ass 10 games in. Still think we are going to the finals and have argued MULTIPLE times against ghost of JB and others about how we can beat anybody in the East even without homecourt. I can go on for days if you want more.

Everyone's a victim and a hero in their own story.

I'd love it when posters realize they're speaking to fanatics posting on RealGM and the mere fact we're pathetic enough to do this is more than enough proof we're true fans.

We can be positive or negative as we like... we're all the fringe fanatic of the fanbase. Suggestions elsewise are truly pathetic.

:dontknow: So you're positive until the team **** the bed. Like most fans. Hey, I'm not holding it against you. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be negative in situations that call for it (such as, you know, blowing a 28 point lead at home to a blown up team). That doesn't make you any more or less of a fan than anyone else.

They have been **** the bed for like 60 games..and I'm still picking them to be in the finals. How is that me being positive until they **** the bed? I'm way past that.

Point to me where I said I'm more or less of a fan? Because it simply was never said. You can be a sissy, whiny fan and still be a great fan in your own way. Ghost of JB is probably the poster who writes the **** I hate the most and I know for a fact the dude is as invested as anybody in here. He's been around since the KG days.

Because during GTs where they **** the bed, you're in there talking about "blow up the team" and **** on the players/coaches. Again, I see no problem with this. But it's kinda hypocritical to call anyone else "sissies, crybabies, whiny, etc" when you're there whining with them.
