The Clippers also were playing without their best player. That's true, but it doesn't mean that Cleveland is a good team without their best player. Or that they should score 80 in one half. A championship aspiring team with four hall of famers shouldn’t allow even an elite team to score 80 points on them in the first half. That’s my issue with this team, they rarely play up to their ability. I don’t know if it’s hubris, lack of urgency, bad habits, bad culture or what, but it’s disheartening at times when you know they are perfectly capable of dominating and they just shit the bed. Hopefully this will not be a problem in the playoffs. 🤞

Glip wants you to see the dark cloud in that clear sky. No he doesn't.
And it's gilp5, not "glip".

But I guess you had to use it, if you were on a mobile device, because I don't think the editor with the emoticons shows up on mobile platforms. For whatever reason, the buttons on the editor only appear on the PC version.
Here's what the facepalms look like:

That was not a facepalm, it was a fingers crossed. And yes, it tiny, but it's cheap, it didn't cost me a nickel.

If you want, I can add a reasonably sized fingers crossed emoticon to the editor.

Mistwell, since we are not a top 3 seed are you standing by your prior argument that we have zero chance to win the championship? Just want to make sure. If not, what is your current position on this point?

If not, what is your current position on this point? Yes. I don't think we will win the championship. I am not even convinced we make it past the first round. Would be ecstatic to be proved wrong.

We're officially in the playoffs, and have enough wins so the lowest we could fall under the worst case scenario is 5th seed. Realistically we're pretty well locked at 4th seed.

Wait ... the phone's ringing. It's Adam Silver ... Some irregularity in the standings ... (Only after the 3rd Red Sox WS title this century did I actually relax into accepting the fact that they had won their first.)
