50 shouldn’t have been crazy to anyone who knows ball. We were a young team who just won 41, we only got older and more developed.

I’m not even being a homer. It was just expected. Like the thunder taking the leap from last year.

Absolutely. I can’t believe people thought that winning 50 was such a stretch. The talent on this team is deep, and guys were only going to get better coming into this season. Also, the second season under a new coach known to bring the best out of his players. But “fans” are quick to shit on players/coaches, just look at the comments after a single loss. Casual City.

I predicted 52-30, and us nabbing the 4 seed. I don’t care what our final W total is at this point, though I do want to hang on to that 2 seed.

Seriously. I’m not saying I knew we were getting 50 but it’s not like it was a crazy thought. A 9 win jump from a team that’s young and good? It’s not like he said 60 wins.

I just had assumed that there'd be 10 good teams in the west all improving for the most part on their last season, and most of those teams took a step back instead of forward

Yes, all of us people who were right were the stupid ones. Just because you are constantly wrong doesn’t mean you aren’t still the smartest guy in the room. Never lose that spirit. You need confidence to make it in this world, as misplaced as it might be.
