They said we ain’t real when we blew out the Kings twice because of no Fox. The same Fox-less Kings that almost beat the Warriors and did beat the Thunder.
They said we ain’t real because we blew out the Lakers with no AD, even though AD has statistically been a net negative for the team so far and the game was never competitive.
They said we ain’t real because the Pelicans had no CJ and their bench was injured, even though BI was hitting plenty of contested shots, Zion was solid, and they had a rookie dropping 4 3s in a row.
Now they’ll say we ain’t real because we beat the Nuggets with no Jamaal and their bench sucked. They ain’t talking about how good the Nuggets looked without Jamaal. They ain’t talking about how good our defense and bench is to lock down the supporting cast.
People are still gonna say that we ain’t real. Because it’s been a small sample size. Because we will regress to the mean. Because we’re only winning on home court and won’t do anything on the road.
We’re legit. We’re real. And we’re coming for the playoffs.
Tbf, those are really good points. We’ve gotten incredibly lucky with our injury matchups. But that’s a part of the game, a!d we are traditionally unlucky in that department…so I’ll take it.
100% agree with the luck matchups, and for sure we are historically unlucky there.
I’m just happy early on we’ve been able to take advantage as the last few years we still would have lost by 10,
