    Yeah we got rid of the Edsel and got ourselves a beautiful 1971 GTO...yeah there is a little rust, but this beauty is good for one hell of a rebuild, and the finished product...damn!

    Sacramento and Utah are playing uninspired ball, so we could still make the playoffs even with a losing record.

    Other things to consider:

    We did not have Henderson early in the year. The soft schedule has helped but his veteran presence has helped our current run.

    We still have a ton of cap space. It is not as valuable as other years but could still net help if we decide to make a playoff run.

    Flip side:

    Season ticket packages did not price playoff tickets. They briefly mentioned them but it did not seem like they think we are going to.

    We have not had a significant injury. Could be due to our youth though.

    Are we talking about basketball, cars, or your last visit to HCP's house?

    What's the hip term I need to use here? Fools Gold? Not sustainable? Bullshit? All home games? Something.

    Everyone here is old.... and still uses all those terms (which means they aren't hip).

    Just looking at the above remaining Feb schedule. Looks to me like we will be favored to win in 1 maybe 2. I looked at our remaining 32 games, and I had us possibly favored in 7. SOS definitely is about to go UP!

    We will be favored in 4 games in February. At home against Houston 2/10 and 2/27, Utah 2/23, and Brooklyn 2/25.

    No question the next month and a half is going to be tough on the delusional ones. I love this team as much as anyone but you got to be realistic.

    I just hope some people stay away from any bridges or tall buildings.

    I'm not scared...

    -Floppets got a win at home BY PURE LUCK and our guys being too inexperienced to close.
    -Grizzlies ate our sausages first time we met them this season.
    -We got a convincing win over Utah and the one they actually won was because they caught fire and shot insanely well from deep.
    -Chicago game was close, they didn't seem like they are a lot better than the Blazers.
    -We had a convincing win over the Pacers and the Nets shouldn't be a problem.

    I'm not saying it's gonna be an easy walk in the park, but i believe they can make it out alive.

    Those Houston games are going to be hella annoying and boring to watch!

    LEEETSS GOOOO!

    I was responding to HCPs post about the remaining schedule. Milwaukee didn't factor in.
