re: Is this team better without Brandon Ingram?

So basically you think any 80 percent of the games we play aren’t great quality

it's clearly always going to be a sliding scale, that varies from year to year, and even within the year, as evidence is provided by the team....

if this team was utter shite and was floundering around the 10 seed, then yes, this would be a "quality win", IMO... but we are better than them, by a large margin, IMO... thus, this doesn't meet MY threshold for a "quality" win.... doesn't make either of us "right", it just means that our thresholds for "quality" is different.... why you are so obsessed with HAVING to designate this as a "quality" win is a little weird to me.... i've already stated i'm happy with the win, is that not good enough for you?

Top 4 is way too strict of a standard.

that's your opinion, and that's all fine and dandy... you are allowed to have that, just as I have mine... you don't see me berating you and trying to change your standard... you do you bro... it's all good...

We’re currently not even a top 4 team in our conference.

i know... which is why my threshold of quality is "punching up" and defeating teams BETTER than us... i don't see teams below us as "quality", whether at home or on the road...again, that's my threshold, you don't have to have the same opinion, and that's all cool with me

I think your expectations are a little ridiculous

cool... you can be cool with status quo... i'd rather this team get to a point where wins like this are more expect... again, same side, just different point of view

This isnt a title contending team.

nope, not this year... but we are on the cusp of being one of those teams that is right there in the conversation
