"I think we have a chance to win every game"

[MaxPlayer]

Yep. Knicks are going 82-0 thanks to the Bulls' discarded trash.

[HurricaneKid]

No wonder he had someone take his ACT. He might have gotten a zero.

[Wally450]

I mean, obviously they have a chance. What do you want him to say?

[CeltsGarlic]

Something not like a five year old.

[andgar923]

Why is this glorified Ben Gordon Robert Pack 2.0 getting attention?

It's like Harold Minor getting quoted.

[Snarky Narc]

I mean, obviously they have a chance. What do you want him to say?
"Hopefully we can make the playoffs."

[PeroAntic]

Its another way of saying they can beat anyone, which is correct. They should be set for the East finals and give Cleveland a run for their money.

[SexSymbol]

Nothing wrong with that quote, the opposite would be considered a stupid thing to say and obviously any team has a chance to win any game.
Learn to understand the world op

Ben Gordon and Rose literally play nothing alike. Are you mentally retarded?

Based on your reasoning in another thread, anything logical can't be stupid. Therefore it wouldn't be stupid to to say the opposite because any team has a chance to lose any game.

[LostCause]

Yeah this quote only seems stupid if you want to believe it's stupid

He's saying what every coach tells their players, what every player should believe heading into each game. Obviously he's not claiming his team will go 82-0, but what type of competitive athlete expects to NOT win a game before its even been played. He's confident in his teams roster to compete with anyone

[Pointguard]

No wonder he had someone take his ACT. He might have gotten a zero.
There is nothing wrong or ignorant in what he said. It's the right approach to every game. But to you it's the wrong approach. It's obvious that you have the wrong approach. So did you have somebody take your ACT test?

[Milbuck]

Literally nothing wrong with that quote. He's saying they can hang with any team in the league on any given night..which is entirely reasonable. Even if you're on the Sixers or Nets you should believe that.

[Psileas]

He's statistically correct. Maybe not more than a 1/10^20 chance for 82-0, but not zero.
However, the "and in the league, that's rare" part doesn't make sense.

[dubnation]

He meant "each and every game", but he speaks really poorly. I'd cut him some slack on this one... Not saying he hasn't said some legitimately retarded sh*t in the past.

[SexSymbol]

Based on your reasoning in another thread, anything logical can't be stupid. Therefore it wouldn't be stupid to to say the opposite because any team has a chance to lose any game.
So if the same sentence can be looked at in two ways, either none or both of the ways are stupid. It's a paradox in some sense.

[nathanjizzle]

what he means is that any team they play, theyll have a chance to beat them. not that hes going to win all 82 games. only an idiot would think that.

You missed the point completely :facepalm

He doesn't need an interpreter or any slack from you. What he said was fine.


Not saying he hasn't said some legitimately retarded sh*t in the past. Don't feel obliged to join the crowd here. The peer pressure here is more so imagined than real.
