    Well the second half of the second quarter was fun.

    I think we're currently out of the playoffs, right?

    West playoffs will be wild this year. We won’t be a part of it though.

    It’s not all the time when someone admits to being a fair weather/bandwagon fan. Good for you.

    I’m going to become a Magic fan. They’re a great story this season.

    The obvious things that kept this from being closer:
    1. Getting outscored in the non-Jokic minutes
    2. Ant's horrid shooting
    3. Nurk's 4 turnovers & 6 fouls in 21 minutes.
    4. Overall poor 3pt shooting.
    Having said all that, we've played 20 games on the road, tough early schedule, Dame missed a few weeks, and we're still near .500. Could certainly be worse!

    We can still make the play in! Wouldn’t that be fantastic!

    Both of those were ridiculously ticky-tack. Also: when you're that large, momentum is a real issue.

    How is it that the wizards are ahead of the Kings by 30 points?

    I keep thinking of Shaq's rookie year when it came down to the last game and Indy made the playoffs over Orlando... and Orlando got the #1 pick (Chris Webber - traded for Penny). In that scenario I want to be Orlando, not Indiana.

    The blazer off fence should be more than what it is now. We have some shooters, but it still ends up with very little passing going on.

    We just need better players. A more balanced roster. But that was pretty much everyone’s gripe coming into the season
