I know we're playing well right now.... but if we were in the Western Conference at 21-19, we would be the 12 seed right now :eek:

I'm afraid we're about to crash... :auto: :out:

But we are not. We can't help that the West is better than the East. The power shifts back and forth. East is top heavy, West is more balanced from top to bottom. And I agree don't be such a debbie downer

The west is not better than the east. If the Bobcats played in the west our record would be even better. Dont just look at overall records, look at how teams in the east smash west teams head to head, including our Bobcats. Cleveland just beat LA again last night. The east is where its at.

I can't agree more.

That's not really true. We're 6-5 against the west and the west is 142-100 against the east. I think the top 3 teams in the east are better then the top 3 in the west. The way the Bobcats are playing I'd say we're better then most in the west but we're about to find out if this is true.

Yeah I agree with the way were playing we'd be able to compete in the West. But like you said the top teams in the East are better than the top teams in the West. But I don't know how you can say the East as a a whole is better than the West. That stat backs it up.

To take it a step further. If you take out the Net's 0-17 record against the West the east is still 100-125. the East is catching up but the emergence of OKC and Memphis still makes the west the best overall. But I like our top teams in the conf better.

KT might be right that Charlotte would do well or better in the West because we would have a better opportunity in the playoffs if we were playing with those teams.

who in hell cares? we aren't in the West. we are a 5th seed in the East. thats all that matters.

A 5th seed with a legit chance at Catching the 3rd and 4th seeds. We play the two teams above us this week. 6 games back of the falling Celtics and 5 and 5 1/2 back from Orlando and Atlanta.

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      2024 College Football Thread

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
