The eyeball test is more important than actual wins and losses. when Gordon is healthy and we're clicking we look like a top 7 team in the west. when you consider how young we are and the pieces that we can add in the next season or two we should be a Western Conference finals team within two or three years

True

quote:
we have won a disproportionate amount of very close games... probably close to 75% of them, since Gordon's return. if we revert back to 40% winning of these close games the record wouldn't be nearly so shiny and finishing with a top 5 pick isn't as improbable as your numbers suggest.

So wouldn't being a top 7 team be the reason we win those close games? Good teams find a way or have enough good players to win. If that's the case then we shouldn't revert back to winning 40% unless something bad happened. I get why you want a higher pick, but there is no positive way to get what you want.

The thing is:

We are probably going to win 15-20 more games if we stay healthy which would put us in the 30-35 win area.

There isn't really any "difference makers" that would help us outside of the top 3-5(even those are questionable) so we would be looking at a project(depth for us which we need) and that's OK

I can't root for my team to lose that's just stupid IMO

In Demps I trust
