So you’re counting the preseason wins and we’re going 80-2 during the regular season? Seems conservative.

Hmm didn’t consider preseason. Honestly can’t see us losing for another five years at least. By that time Wemby might give Kornet a run for his money and we’ll drop a game or two.

Season-defining game for sure. Biggest game of the season, even. We can conclude all sorts of things from this very pivotal game.

“These posers just don’t have it!”
“All that maneuvering just to get this?!”
“SOFT!!”
“Welp! They haven’t changed. Same crap all over again.”
“FIRE JUJITSU JOE!!”
“This team going nowhere. Franchise is doomed!”
“Pretenders!”
“Let’s just tank for Flagg.”
“Go Pats!!”

Can't wait to find reasons to blame Jaylen for every loss

lol. Especially the one in bold. I legit saw some variation of that one posted at least 50 times over the past 2 seasons - pretty much anytime the opposing team scores 2 or more baskets in a row..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

The real fun comes reading the comments after the game. If we lose, this team will suddenly become the worst team in the league, and all the moves we made this off-season were made just to make the team worst. Marcus Smart was really the most important guy on the team, RW3 was the best defender we ever had, and Brogden was so much more important than anyone knew.
Of course if we win, every move we made was the exact right move!!!!
Same kind of thing will go for the Knicks as well. They beat us, and they will have made a statement that they are the team to beat. They lose, and it's just another pathetic season in NY.
Some things will never change!!!

If Horford makes 46 three-pointers, records 8 steals, and blocks 13 shots in this game, he will join Dirk, Rasheed Wallace, and Cliff Robinson as the only players in NBA history with 800+ made threes, 800+ steals, and 1,200+ blocks in their career.

I think Al can do it.

Spoiler:
Realistically, probably gonna do it against the Warriors on 12/19.

He'll get that. Maybe by that Warriors game, like Zoya said.

Could make for a fun drinking game if you didn't want to survive past the 3rd quarter anyways. I should have negotiated with Howard staying out of the game threads into my pay

Just get rid of him if the C's aren't leading by 20 at halftime.
