Melting over early season games shows a huge lack of perspective. It doesn't mean you don't know the team or whatever, just that you are too focused on the right now and less on the big picture.
How many teams have won a title or made it to the Finals with a losing record through at least 27 games?

What's the fix? Besides whooping up on SA on Christmas. Kinda hoping that happens again like the '14 season for superstitious reasons


I was just telling my coworker, a huge Spurs fan, that a Christmas Day win would make up for everything.

This team just doesn't seem to care. Tons of out of shape guys who don't feel like playing both ends.

Cavs last season were at .500 after 40 games.

SA is notorious for not giving a shite/not showing up on Christmas games for the most part, so it might be a win/win for all involved

It's a weird team right now fo sho. Time to get it together, though. It's only December.

You failed to answer the question, Cleveland has Lebron, and they were also adjusting to an entirely new roster. Houston is under .500, doesn't have Lebron, and doesn't have an entire new team to get acclimated to.

If you're not super worried about your team and you're picking them to go to at least game 7 of the WCF, you may have some reevaluations to consider.

Oh, and I think Lebron also missed 2 weeks, so probably 7 or so of those games, and I think they lost just about all of em...so there's that too.

And they were essentially an entirely new team of players that had never played together in the NBA when an entirely new coaching staff. Plus it was a relatively weak eastern conference where they could make up games easier.

Houston had much more continuity coming into this season, especially with its core players. Not to mention, they've had the easiest SOS in the entire league.

Regardless, you seem to be basing your argument on the fact that there are outliers that have improved drastically at this point in the season. Worse yet, you scoff at the idea that the doesn't quarter to third of the could not be a reliable estimate of the product, even though history tells us that it far more likely than the outlying examples.

In other words, you may be right in the end, but that doesn't make your illogical optimism and less ignorant.

HOU has a new coach and no roster continuity this season.

I ain't about to go back and look just to answer your question bro I'd say being .500 after 40 is comparable to being 2 under after 27.

meh I'll stick with my evaluations of the team I follow over someone who sees highlights if that.

Nope. Better fact check before you come with something like that. Check the schedule bro.

11 diff starting lineups this season I'd love to see a team with more who is playing better.

Total bitch. Will be interesting to see who will take this drama queen off our hands. For taking 25+% of our cap space, we could do better.

So in other words, a Seahwaks fan who said they'd make the playoffs after their 0-2 start was being illogical and ignorant considering only 5 of the last 66 teams to start 0-2 have made the playoffs. And any fan who wasn't melting down was being illogically optimistic. Sounds like an argument you would try to make tbh
