2620159, Yeah, before the season, that was my whole point.

Glad we can agree on that. I also said, in hindsight I see why he didn't. I also expected Wiggins (yr 3) and towns to make the playoffs last year but LaVine tore his ACL, they didn't learn how to defend consistently (lost the most games with a double digit lead in the game..20) and Dunn wasn't as good for them.

*Shrug* I still blame Wiggins for that though. He improved as a scorer but the rest his game isn't where it could be. It took 41 wins to make the playoffs in the West. That was doable.

And I brought up Kyrie because ALL your arguments about how others are treated revolve around him now-a-days so I just cut to the chase. I didn't critique Kyrie no harsher than I did anyone else with talent a decent team yr 3. If anything, I went at Ky cuz you went at Rose as the Bulls guy. But I still never said "oh, he a bum cuz he ain't make the playoffs yr 3".

And before I saw your response, I said NO should make the playoffs this year. And I think both those dudes deserve blame if they aren't at least an 8 seed.

FOH w/"y'all"...boy got a ring as Bron's sidekick and won game 7. I ain't never discounted none of that. Those are facts. I actually said Kyrie would be an MVP candidate this past season (1yr ago). I actually said, Kyrie should shoot in game winning situations instead of Bron because his game is better for it (2yrs ago). But nah...I'm "y'all" cuz your feelings hurt. lol

Oh, context and roster make sense when discussing Kyrie but not Brow? We gon act like he (missed 21 games), Gordon (37 games) and Tyreke (25 games) didn't get hurt yr 4? Like Alonzo Gee didn't start 37 games for them that season? Like last yrs Pels roster wasn't WORSE than Kyrie's Pre-Bron roster? Ok.

When have I ever disagreed with this? I literally said they should make the playoffs this year.

Great so I was right...thanks for confirming again.

Indeed.
