They capitalize on games that they should capitalize while we lose to teams like Philly Boston and Knicks
Phoenix has lost 9 games to below .500 teams, the Pels have lost 8.
On to the next fact less narrative.

I am not going to worry about PHX losing games. We can't do anything about their schedule, but we certainly can do something about ours. BTBT (Beat The Bad Teams). We can do it. We will soon have our chance to show we can do better than the teams who have already cleared that hurdle, let's just hope we are up the the task and holding a ticket to the playoffs come April, as opposed to just holding ourselves like we have done for the past 4 years.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
I agree. We could put ourselves well in front of the playoff pack by batting .770 with that schedule. Monty could get a new lease on life, and we will have guys back from injury at that point.
But if we finish Feb. having only gone .400 against all those teams, Monty might want to start looking into a realtor before March Madness.
Right...that's what people in this thread have been trying to get at. It's the NBA. Any game is possible to lose for any team, since you're playing other professional players as well. When it happens, its disappointing, but by no means the end of the world and something exclusive to the Pelicans and our /bum head coach/ sarcasm font.
Like your assertion that oh, Phoenix takes care of bad teams unlike us. About that...
Some huge games tonight. Obviously our game against Atlanta.
ORL @ OKC
MEM @ PHX
If things change more than they stay the same, and they do; then we should get ahead of Phoenix by mid march. I always factor in the human dynamic to allow for AD's greatness and vertical learning curve......our improvement should become exponential soon, then leveling off in 2017. just a prediction.
We had quite a few interesting conversations as we pondered and navigated the nightly canopy.
That's not quite what I am saying. For instance, will we lose to good teams? Sure, all teams suffer losses. Any loss hurts, but teams are going to lose games. The difference between making the playoffs and not is, a lot of time, those losses that you absolutely should win. We are a talented team to the point where no win should be a surprise, but some losses should be (IMO). Teams in the West will lose to the Warriors, Spurs, Blazers, etc., but not all will lose multiple games to sub .200 teams. Losing those is how you miss the playoffs, thus, they hurt more than the losses teams can expect throughout the course of the season.
So I'm continually coming across your posts recently and the thought struck me, what are you doing on here exactly?

I mean look at that post history. Outside of belittling people what are you actually adding to this forum right now? I've read your posts over the weeks and it just seems to be one condescension, dismissive post after another. Belittling posters with passive aggressive behavior and a smug attitude. Can you point me to the last intellectually stimulating point you have made on here?
If you want to be the forum contrarian fine, but you have just as much an obligation to defend the assertions you make as much as those you continually challenge to defend there's.
