So what? Its early.

We'll be fine.

Unless things change no we’re not “fine”


We will get Joe Harris back. Harden will get better. Claxton will play more minutes.

And Kyrie might be back.

So yes things will change.

Harden not being Harden has hurt us this season. We need Kyrie badly.

GREAT teams lost twice to the Bulls, got destroyed by Milwaukee and the Warriors and lost to the Suns. We couldn’t even beat Houston without KD. This team is bad and KD is simply masking a lot of our problems.

Bulls arent great. far from great. both losses were om back to backs.

0-3 vs the 3 best teams in the league. 2 of those on the road. im not really concerned.


Suns and Warriors were home game, Nets got completely dominated, Heat with Butler playing are also an elite team, again completely dominated. So 0-3 at home vs elite teams. Bulls loss at home wasn't due fatigue, they got outplayed down the stretch, the one in Chicago was b2b after a long road trip and fatigue clearly played a factor, so that was a schedule loss. Bucks season opener was another could be consider a throw away since it was first game for a new roster. Anyway, 0-4 against championship contenders, 1 of those was a road game. 4-7 against teams that are +0.500 as of now. Harden getting in shape and Kyrie coming back make those records irrelevant but those are two major ifs.

none of those games matter.

especially the bulls since they wont be contenders. 1 game each vs. those other teams. as you mentioned milwaukee game 1. Heat harden still wasnt himself. in my opinion we have 2 bad losses to contenders (suns/Warriors) in the middle of their hot streaks. Am i supposed to panic about that? for us to play them, it would have to be in the NBA finals. and if we make the finals, ill take my chances with KD over curry or paul.

The only east team that scares me is Miami, and they cant seem to stay healthy either ATM

Clax is also a monster defensively. He changes the whole team dynamic.

Still not a good sign it took this much to beat the Pistons. We need Harden to be back to normal and take the load off KD.

Because this team is bad.


I wouldn't say that we are bad. But we do need some more offensive help.

If you want to see a team that is bad, go over to the Knicks forum. They are in despair right now :lol:
