    Those are the vibes I'm getting about the season. For the younger posters on the board, look it up. For the old heads, you know what I'm speaking about. The blowout losses, the lethargic nature, the close, but no cigar from the previous year after the so called talent increase.

    I would go back to 95 after we won our first Championship. We struggled from the start with injuries and out of sync. We ended up in the 6 position in the playoffs, and defended our championship. It's not where you start, but where you finish.
    Go Rockets.

    There was Barkley and his Suns, Utah's Stockton and Malone, and Seattle's Payton and ??? what was his name? Seattle was our toughest opponent.

    In hindsight, we should have known that team wasn’t going to work out - with all of those egos together in one room.

    I’d like to think that we have a better handle now with the personalities and it will work out eventually.

    Feels like 2015 but much worse, now we have immovable contracts for the next 4 years.

    That Seattle team is great. But compared to GSW in this era vs all the rest of the teams. Warriors are better in their era than Seattle was in theres

    Yeah, drugs are bad. Shame, he was a great player. Fun fact the Bulls tried to trade Pippen for Kemp and Ricky Pierce the summer before MJ came back.

    We have one is Paul (which is a damn bad one).

    Harden and Capela are by no means immovable contracts lol.
