Not if we take care of business between now and then and beat DEN on Tuesday. We control our own fate. BNM
Exactly. It's all on us. I'm bummed Denver won but on Sunday, they get an emerging Pelicans team and we get the Lakers. Then we play each other. First, we gotta beat Minnesota. Not a given.
It will be hard for Denver to hold off our easy finishing schedule. We just need to play well against shit teams......something we have struggled with a bit
Their schedule is way more difficult than ours AND we get to play them at home AND we have the tiebreaker.
Not even if we beat them head-to-head. If we do (and likely even of we don't) we'll own the tie breaker. BNM
We haven't really turned the corner I feel like. Everytime we think "ok we might be clicking now" we come out and perform like we did against the Bucks. That was the final straw for me imo. Denver to me just wants it more and are really clicking. Now they seem like they turned the corner. Which isn't bad or anything I think we'll be really good next year when Nurk is fully integrated in the team. We're just not ready this season for whatever reason. I don't mind the lottery one more time until the foreseeable future
When was the last time we lost to a shit team? We've won 9 of our last 12. We lost to WAS by 1. we lost to MIL, who is currently the hottest team in the league and we lost to NOP, who has won 5 of 7 and beat HOU and MEM by double digits after beating us. BNM
You do realize MIL is the hottest team in the league right now, don't you? We've won 9 of 12. How is that not turning a corner? I guess beating SAS, ATL and MIA on the road doesn't count, but DEN beating IND o n the road and beating LAC, without Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, at home means they've turned a corner. BNM
When did I say we lost to a shit team? When did I say recently? You need to stop being so quick to assume.
Yeah, tell that to the Clippers, who lost to the Bucks, at home, at full strength. What part f hottest team in the NBA do you not understand. They didn't just beat us. They are beating other very good teams, too. They have won 10 of 12 and beaten TOR and LAC twice during that span. BNM
I asked a question. Either answer it or don't. No need to get your panties all in a wad. You made the statement that we tend to lose to shit teams and I asked for a recent example. Any losses to shit teams in December, or really, any before the Nurkic trade, seem pretty irrelevant to me given the context of this thread. BNM
Tuesday is going to say a lot about who will take the 8th. At the moment its a game of what team will lose to teams they shouldn't more then what team will win vs teams they shouldn't.
I agree that you are not a troll. I'll try to avoid interacting with you directly so you don't get so upset.
