I thought they would be more competitive. I was wrong and I owned up to it. What is the reason to go the rout you have? Show some character, guy.

I did not go quiet and hide after the fact. I owned the L already.


ALL OF YOU STAT NERDS WILL SEE

ALL OF YOU WILL SEEEEE

IT WILL BE PROVEN YOU SHALL ALL SEE

Where are you getting this garbage from? I did not say anything like that.

I called a competitive series and I was wrong. I owned up to it and deserve the ribbing.

Put the shoe on the other foot (and the series were actually competitive), you would be in witness protection right now.

These garbage time minutes are low key important for Waiters to state his case for being in the playoff rotation. Gotta say man I'm liking what I see. He slides his feet well. Gonna keep an eye on his help defense cuz that's what'll make or break playing time for him

Sure, but I think he was talking about people on realgm.

I kind of hope Charles was trolling. If not, yikes.

That's good on you but tbh the derogatory attitude you had towards the rest of the posters in this thread really brought it on you. I'm not gonna pull up the receipts cuz there's no point in that but the energy you put out is what you're gonna get back lol. That's life. The way you were posting about everyone else's predictions didn't show great character either :sleep:

I picked the Lakers to win but I thought it would be more competitive. I was wrong for stressing respecting the opponent?

I stand by that.

That was my message in the face of what I thought to be overt arrogance. All that energy nonsense aside, I was wrong. You got this one.

Rondo seems much more likely to take JRs minutes. Which isn't great either when Dion is just sitting there. But I think Caruso is assured his rotation spot.

There were two more at least, one Raptors fans and one Nets fans, don't remember the usernames, laughing at my sweep prediction after game 1.

I don't understand why/how people expected the Blazers to be competitive here. Lillard is a great player, but he's no Lebron James or Anthony Davis, never will be and he doesn't really have much support.

Also, off topic, but are you using the same username on Redcafe?

I know they’re worse now but still that blazers team that made the WCFs is probably the worst team I remember making it that far in the west.

Seemed like he was playing within himself next to Kuz and AC and trying to set people up. Now that the non-playoff guys are in he's back to what got him outta the league lol. Wonder if he's just not cutting it IQ-wise in practice then.
