    Setting ourselves up perfectly to get throttled in the first round. ugh.

    Rooting for OKC to drop like a rock so we claw our way up to 7. I think we can at least get a game against SA.

    With Kanter out, OKC is struggling to score. They've lost three in a row, by an average margin of 19.3 points. If we take care of business tonight and on Sunday, we could end the weekend only 4 games behind them.

    We're currently 9 games behind LAC, but with Chris Paul out and a ridiculously hard schedule between now and March 1 (9 of 10 games against playoff teams and the only one that isn't is in rhe middle fo a 5-game road trip). We may too far back to catch them, but you never know.

    The best part of this game is being able to watch without hearing our new announcers

    We climbed from 9th to 5th last year. 6th is totally doable.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is one time where I'd start Aminu. Don't let him touch the ball on offense, but I do think Barnes is the sort of player that Aminu could excel against defensively.

    Looking back at FA, I kinda wish we had pursued Barnes, dude has been really solid. Would've been a nice #3 option for us.

    We should win this game pretty easily. Let's go boys!

    Has Wesley Matthews improved since his Achilles injury (improved back to his pre-injury form, I mean)?

    Raw numbers are getting close but his percentages from the field are horrible compared to his Portland-days.

    Sad to see Dirk on his downward trajectory. I wish their were more Germans in the league. Right now it's him, Schroder and .....
