... That makes you 40, made not even that old... Did you really watch those games and remember anything about the players that made them so significant? Bill Walton and Tiny weren't typical players. I can't mention anything about them, not having been born in that era, but why would Walton lead a team to a championship if he only averaged 10-15 points? It was because of his spectacular defense. Making blatant comparisons doesn't do you any favors, especially with Bogut being the leader on boards by far, only at a meager 9 a game. He's putting up the same numbers that Z did in 2002-2003, except less points and 2 more rebounds.
In fact, the whole team is only looking good as they are defensively at this point. It must be because they actually have a defensive coach for the last 2 years now... The team is terrible offensively. And playing the Knicks, Nuggets, Wolves, and Sixers (not known defensive teams) are going to obviously going to make the stats look different.
But it's also a reason why normal people don't pay attention to 10% stats and more attention to stats in late December, early January.
Right now, I'm in disbelief about your standards for homerism, ncf135. It actually disgusts me, who didn't take time to trash talk about my team when they won 66 games last year.
All I see from you right now (and the reason you're still here) is that you provide comical entertainment from the longer members here. Is that all you really want to aim for from a quality forum. Wasting your posts on illogical trash talk? On arguments that will look silly even 2-3 months from now? If the Bucks actually get further, good. But a fan should always never take what they have for granted. Never overestimate their limits and always feel they can get better. I learned so much from being a fan from 2000-2003, and feeling that every player on your team is a superstar in the making is not always the solution.
Please man... I'm begging you... try posting something decent...
God help me if you can't, there's no point in even responding to this. It's a waste of time because you'll just run away when it gets bad.
It's pitiful, that even outsiders (who would be more than happy to see us die) make fun of you. It makes me do this:
Mods, can't we do something about blatant, homeristic, stupidity??? Getting proven right about a team doesn't make me feel superior when the person who's wrong can't even do something useful about it, like admitting a mistake. It just makes me pity the shortsightedness...
