The last two games have been so much fun to watch! This team is miles ahead of where it was before the all star break. Yes less wins but so much more potential. So much more fun to watch. So much less complaining and counter productive drama. In my eyes the TRADE has been vindicated very nicely. The future looks bright!
Please... so much potential? Should I remind you that even before the trade we had Skal, Papa, Malachi, WCS? Adding Buddy means "so much more potential"?
For some fans it's much more fun to watch games now because we have no expectation and every win is a reason for hope. Before we had legit playoff expectations and losses were much harder to swallow.
Right now we have the same potential we had before the trade, plus Buddy but without a top 5/10 player still in his prime. We still don't know where we will end up in the draft.
No drama, sure. But honestly I care more about Ws than smiles and hugs. The Shaq and Kobe lakers were drama queens, but still they managed to win titles. That's what matters to me.
