how many of those franchises haven’t made the playoffs in 15 years? There’s a reason we get bashed more than most. It’s because we’ve sucked more than most.
yep the thunder suck. On purpose. While accumulating tons of assets.
meanwhile we are trying to win. Don’t have those stockpiled assets.
and won a grand total of 6 more games last year
It's also one of the reasons I've argued that Memphis' recent success (outside of the very impressive GS win) isn't that great. They mostly barely beat bad teams at home. They miss a couple plays like we have and suddenly it's a 1-5, 2-4 streak.
Yes, by bringing in Kosta Koufos and Marco Belinelli. Which is a poor way to change the direction of the franchise. You trade high level assets if you are ready to add a high value player. Not for the "opportunity".
I agree with you on most things but trading away a future likely high lotto...
We lost some of those on the road by similarly small margins. A couple shots in either direction and apparently gasol and Memphis would need to blow it up while cuz would be a hero.
Also, Memphis barely beat lakers at home without Russell, young or nance. The barely beat the Pelicans without...
Kind of a misleading 5-0. 4 of those games at home and their opponents are Portland, philly, lakers, Orlando and New Orleans.
Total margin of victory against that at-home weak competition: 13 points
