Ballmer sits at just about every home game. He sees what we see. I don’t want “fanboy Ballmer.” I want “Microsoft Ballmer” kicking ass.

Good stuff. Agree with most of it. But what’s missing to me is finding actual solutions. The best approach I heard: look at our team, we’re supposed to be a defensive monster. That’s the identity this team should have – and I thought the most likely approach to succeed

But the second half of your point is well taken. No one fears us.

I was fine with blowing it up last summer and hoped for the best this season after the Harden trade. But as many feared we are fizzling like old men down the stretch. The only saving grace (so far) is that Kawhi appears still in his prime and we can likely move some of our assets around to field a team that’s more fun than this one next year.

Ultimately, there will be no getting past Joker and now Wemby and Chet either without a massive upgrade in the front court. This was probably the last dance for 213.

If Kyrie didn’t get injured in that 2015 Cavs – Warriors series, would the Warriors have won if all of their opponents didn’t have key injuries?

We’ve all had our hearts broken by this team, but we keep coming back. (Didn’t someone make a great comment about our team is a cheating lover?).

Some truths:

–If we play like we did in the Grammy’s trip, the sky is the limit.

–If we play like we did in our bad losses after the Grammy’s trip, our season ends in the 1st round.

Good teams play good basketball most of the time. There is familiarity with the system, and everyone knows their role and does the best they can. Look at successful teams like the Warriors, Denver and the Heat.

I have my doubts as to whether we can capture the fire during the Grammy’s.

But, I hope and pray that each member of the team does what he can to improve the team.

We know we can do it, but executing great team play on every possession during an 82 game season — not so easy.

So, next game, next play.

I like one guy name OhmeOhMy or something. (clearly Ralph’s fan) He always makes good comment and game’s analysis. But he don’t post that much these days. Might get hit by influx of new fans.
Lolwtferic also moved from this blog (He was Eric Ho while he’s here, I think) to reddit. His art are great. This guy is an artist.
And it’s like sport fandom anywhere. Your team have bad game, the world just collapse. But when you blow teams out, it look like even ’96 Bulls can’t keep up with you. I mean, that’s life of sports fan, isn’t it?
Anyway, I still believe we can turn it around.
As bad as he is in some game or even in some season (I don’t want to talk about RoCo-DNP anymore) and he is also a guy who can throw some weird sh*t like 5-guard line-up anytime he feels like it.
But if you ask any coach and someone actually did that I believe, T-Lue is still one of the most fearsome in-game-or-in-series-adjustment coach in the league.
And then it’s Kawhi. If Joe Ingles stuff didn’t happen. That was our year.
So, we can talk about anything and everything. But it will comes down to health, especially for Kawhi’s.
Let’s see how it goes.
