Why don't you follow your own advice and go back and read the sequence of posts that brought us here. Then after you've done that and realized YOU started an argument with me over something we both agree on, you can feel free to come back and say, "My bad" or simply not respond out of stubbornness. Either way I don't really care. I'm done with you.

I swear some dudes are just slow as hell

I don't argue. I educate. Consider yourself educated.

So 0-82 = losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Yes. You don't have a trophy, so what makes it any different? Of course you should take pride of your accomplishment that you ALMOST won but in the grand scheme of things sports wise, you either win or lose.

When Durant becomes the best player in the world who will be #2

No way.

AD sooner or later though.

What if Melo or K.Love decide to go to OKC to play with Westbrook/KD 

 

[sea manup]

would suck to see KD averaging 22 ppg because hes playing beside melo and westbrook

OKC might be the only NBA location worse to live in than Minnesota.

LOL you have a point.  i love seeing KD scoring 35ppg. i hope he keeps it up when Russ comes back

It seems like you're saying that someone who thinks '0-82 = Game 7 Finals loss' would be a black/white thinker.

And also seems like you're saying that life should not be thought of in terms of black/white, all/nothing thinking.

How very interesting.

I'd have to say I wholeheartedly agree, on both accounts.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The idea that if you don't win it all, that it's somehow the same as going 0-82 is ridiculous to me. I understand that life and sports as a whole would be much easier to grasp and understand if it was that black and white, but sadly that's not the way it works. That's essentially like saying Karl Malone, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, their careers didn't mean **** because since they didn't win, it's like they played on a bunch of 0-82 teams.

It doesn't work like that. Making it all the way to the Super Bowl, NBA Finals means something. That's an incredible achievement. Being in the cellar and playing for a title is not even remotely the same. On another note, I do feel like people try to simplify things in life and make them black and white (such as race, ethnicity, politics, etc.) when it isn't that simple. But that's another topic for another time.

In complete agreement.

I'm constantly telling people to try and get out of black/white, all/nothing mentalities.

A few Laker thread regulars know this. 

 And a few are in denial about their all/nothing mentality.

"Those who don't get it, don't get that they don't get it."

I call it the My Asian Parents Line of Thinking.

No A's? You fail.

Didn't get into a UC school? You fail.

Not a doctor? You fail.

You want to be a nurse? You fail.

Not dating an asian? You fail.

etc

just kidding about this one, my paren have been very supportive of my interracial dating since I started dating
