We need insiders. Anyone has access to the cold plunge or sauna and ask for some inside scoop on what Franz is really feeling?

Cute data, but false.
2010-11 OKC , 55 wins. Trip to WCF.
leading scorers: Durant, Westbrook Harden, age 22,22,21.
Orlando Muse got lazy, they didn't counted oKC because "Jeff Green" but Green was traded mid season so he shouldn't be counted.
And Memphis did pretty much same thing two years ago, but i think they don't "count " because Brooks averaged like 1,5 ppg more than Jackson.
green was on team for half yr and one of top 3 scorers thats the fact! if green was not on team then you would be right nothing lazy green on team the statement stands
but really does not matter ...but its a fact also...dude was there for 50 games

All I gotta say is... Markelle is shooting 45%+ from three in March and April combined. Sign the man!

*IF* we somehow manage to sneak all the way into the #2 seed, and OKC ends up #3 seed in the West but with a better record, does Mosley become the favourite for COTY? Its a 2 horse race between them at the moment, surely.

*IF* we win out and get to 50 wins, yes, he deserves it.

The Celtics coach is also ahead of Mosely in odds. Mosely is 3rd.thelead wrote:Bensational wrote:*IF* we somehow manage to sneak all the way into the #2 seed, and OKC ends up #3 seed in the West but with a better record, does Mosley become the favourite for COTY?

I don't think the front office was serious about winning this season. We still have cap space. We could've had a player like TRoss sitting on the deep bench to come in games like last night when everyone was tired and knock down a few 3s. It's painful to watch 21 and 22 year olds fighting against teams that are stacked with vets.

I agree, they did not take a win-now approach to the last off-season. Adding Ingles and two lotto talents was as hands off as it gets. The players mention that they've been building something over the last three seasons and I think the continuity was genuinely important to the coaching staff and players. I think they identify a core group and are invested in letting that core group play things out. And somehow that identity is resilient to pressures for upgrades. At least for now. It's very telling that Fultz and Harris are expiring contracts.basketballRob wrote:I don't think the front office was serious about winning this season. We still have cap space.

As far as I'm concerned it played out, this team as constructed is capped.... To go forward you may have to take an initial step back chemistry wise for a better constructed team.eyriq wrote:I agree, they did not take a win-now approach to the last off-season.

Nothing sums up this team, front office, medical staff more than an important player in Gary Harris sitting out a “must win” game number 80 with “ injury maintence. If Gary had any say in this then I never wanna see him step on the court again. 13 **** million to sit out one of the most important games in years. Seriously, heads need to roll. Makes me sick how this team is run
