Sorry man I was fuckposting
Are we really comparing Love and Irving being out for the entire series to Draymond Green missing 1 game? Very rational.
All it takes is 1 game
The 2 situations are not comparable in the slightest.
They're not supposed to be compared, but you invited it with what-if scenarios

No harm no foul, I know I can sound like an asshole often but sports communities in a videogame board are a siren song for senselessness lol.

rockets are either in a big slump or they were just hot in the beginning of the season and are crashing back down to earth

I am not comparing anything. Hypothetical wins is pointless. You can't say that the Cavs would have certainly won in 2015 with their starters as much as you can say the Warriors would have closed it out with Green in game 5 or Bogut in game 7.
They're definitely missing an opportunity to secure the third seed while the Clippers are hurt. It could mean the difference between an unmitigated success of a conference finals versus a more tepid finish.

Are we being dense on purpose? Curry was injured the entire playoffs, Bogs got injured the last games, Iguadala the guy who guards Lebron got injured for the last few games which shockingly just happened to be the same games LeBronie turned it up. Green could also get suspended in g6 which is why he played like trash. Cavs still had it worse in 15, but the this horseshit revisionist history
Also hypothetical wins are for losers.
Lol the Curry excuse. They fucking choked and reloaded. Anytime they don't win the title is an epic fail now.That's how it is going forward. Get used to it.Are we being dense on purpose?

They did choke but that doesn't mean injuries don't affect the outcome of basketball seasons.

Regardless of injuries, Warriors chocked badly and deserve all the shit they have gotten for it. I just can't stand this dumb revisionist history that people make it seem like Cavs were affected heavily in 15 and the Warriors weren't. At the end of the day, all that matters is that you get that W.
Also KD for 30 or 40 tonight against that trash Blazer D?

Royce Young is pretty terrible. He was pretty emo when KD left and you can basically frame all his analysis within that context
Westbrook is absolutely stat chasing out there and no one is gonna tell him shit about taking tons of terrible shots or putting teammates in bad situations. Billy Donovan is kind of gutless about it and he's got no teammates that will call him out.

Wtf just happened in this blazers vs warriors game man? That was a crazy ass run to be down 19 with like 5 min in the half left and then be down 3
At one point they were down 21. Crazy run to end the half.

Are they tracking "caused turnovers" and regular turnovers because I'm sure he actually has 20+ quadruple doubles this season, and maybe a few quintuple doubles as well.
Main reason why I think WB didn't get the start votes, and won't win the MVP either.

Still better than Royce White.
Lol that's what I was thinking. Sick flop.

I just remembered that the 76er's basically got the Lakers pick for Michael Carter-Williams who's now getting DNP's behind Rondo.

And they got ass blasted by the media and casual dolts for trading the "rookie of the year" for a long time before people finally caught up that he's just not that good.

Another great trade by Hinkie that got no respect from any national media.

from January 26, when we lost to the Celtics.
This is all that's keeping me going this december. Gordon and Ryno have had flu at odd times, Capela is swinging back into the rotation, and we had to play an 8 man rotation against the sixers. Not too mention, our 3s haven't been falling as well as they used to, and with Capela and Ryno missing games, it's been harder for us to score in the paint.
It's also our 16th game this month, and we've played the most away games (29), and the most games (51) of any team in the NBA. We had our only 4 in 5 this month.

We only have 4 more back2backs for the rest of the season. And February is an easy schedule, filled with 2/9 road games. Plus, none of the matchups are too scary. We just need to get to the all star break at this point, and get some rest. March picks things back up, but tbh, November-January have been so much more dense, with a much smaller amount of rest between games. End of season should hopefully be a smooth glide.
I would kill for Sefolosha right now, tbh

Since I don't usually follow lineup announcements all that closely, do most teams give out their starting five at least an hour or two before tip-off? I may just dump my tickets, I've seen enough non-Embiid games this season and I don't really care for another. He's still listed as questionable...
Think the Celtics will make it out of the first round this year?
If we don't get fucked by tiebreaks at the end of the year again yes
