Anyone a little concerned that we might win?

These next 2 are dangerous to the tank.

Idk if I'm concerned, I've pretty much accepted that we're going to finish ahead of the Chicago's, Wizard's, Pistons, Cavs, and Timberwolves of the world. That's how FiveThirtyEight sees it too. I know what Vuc/Fournier combined with a coach like Clifford who will squeeze every ounce out of a roster looks like.

Good enough to finish better than the absolute bottom dwellers, but not good enough to do anything else. That's why we're in purgatory.

I would still heavily pushback on the idea that we're a lock for top 5 odds, even despite our hard schedule. We will find a way to rack up stupid wins throughout this season, && especially at the end of it, to make sure that doesn't happen. It's what we do.

same poster who called vuc " prostitute " and gets and ones from moderators.
This place lost it's mind. Last 3 days people posted more nonsense than in times they were 100% sure Gordon is new Kawhi Leonard, just more athletic.

Nice start for the team. Cole with some good playmaking and excellent passing to the open man.

Let's hope Chicago man up and gets it together before we blow em out, we need to thank those two consecutive games against the Bulls.

That's why ya can't tell me nothing about birch. He plays 100 every play. I don't get how some of you can't see that

I dont think anyone disagrees with that. 2 things can be true. Birch is solid and Bamba needs minutes.

pss stop with logic.
Do you know Bamba has big wingspan? Beacause that's what plays basketball.

I agree but I see plenty of people bashing birch on here constantly and it's unwarranted in my eyes.

Not everybody hates on Khem. I've appreciated his effort and steady development and progress since he joined the team from Europe. This year his defense, rebounding, scoring and screen setting all take a significant step forward.

[MaKiaVeLi7]

New guy Mason brings some energy and aggressive play from the bench, making the right pass. I like what I see now.

I dont think its personally a issue with Birch. Its just people wanna see what Bamba can do and Birch is in the way.
