The streak is over!

Yes I do! I didn’t like the hire or the Haliburton trade and I was wrong on both although the trade is the rare one where both teams came out great out of it. But I was for sure wrong on Brown and I’m glad I was

I teach my children to be held accountable because I live that. I don't think any organization or individual lifestyle can truly be considered a productive member of society unless they hold themself/themselves to that standard.

My bad for wanting the most out of society. But dude deserves to apologize and walk that shame walk.

It's basketball. It ain't that serious.

Of the top 6 players with most games played to not make the playoffs, Nate Williams was drafted by the Royals, Van Arsdale played most his career with the Royals, with Buddy and Casspi in that list as well. So that's 4/6 closely tied with this franchise

It's basketball. It ain't that serious.

It’s a multi-Billion dollar business. With hundreds of millions of fans, some of which wait at airports til 1am in 30 degree weather just to greet a team off a road trip and playoff birth AND spend hundreds of dollars, even thousands of dollars, on tickets to a single game. Not too mention with Internet forums dedicated to it’s teams that are frequented around the clock.

Clearly it’s a bit more serious than you think.

Counterpoint: nah. That doesn't mean it's serious, that just means that there's a bunch of people who take it too seriously.

The Casspi one was tough. I think he was on one of the championship warriors teams. But they cut him right before the playoffs.

I may have mentioned this in the past, or not (I don't quite remember, and I don't want to search through 1,272 messages just to find out)...At some point during our previous postseason run, I decided to keep track of regular season + postseason records. So I created a simple Excel workbook.

Sheet 1: Regular Season + Postseason records
Sheet 2: Detailed Postseason records (round by round. I even, on that sheet, indicated who we played in that specific round).

I remember this being one of the things I used to really look forward to updating after every game, even after a loss, back then. Because the team was still pretty freaking good.

Well, then came the downward spiral...I still maintained the workbook, but will admit that, at certain times, deleted it because I figured that it wasn't worth the time, nor the effort. And, more importantly, it wasn't healthy to look at just how bad of a team we had become over the years.

Every year, after game 82 (or earlier during the most recent lockout year and both "covid" years), the depression sunk in deeper and deeper, because I knew that I wouldn't be looking at numbers for that specific season under the "postseason" columns.

I'm not quite sure many on this forum will fully understand how damn good it felt to update my workbook earlier today to look like this:

Sheet 1:

Sheet 2:

Now that we are PACIFIC DIVISION CHAMPIONS...



Adding that "p" next to this season's record(s) felt DAMN GOOD!!!

The little things in life that make one happy...This, for me, is one of those little things...
