    This next stretch is crucial to our HCA/3 Seed Chances.

    These next 2 are must win games. Not many games left against teams like Pheonix and Sacremento. These are definitely trap games that we can't play down to our opponent for. Tonight will show whether we're past the lapses that we had earlier in the season against bad teams. Pheonix is on a back-to-back too, so there's no excuses to not beat this team by 20.

    Our next 4 games after that -
    Vs. Timberwolves (without Jimmy Butler) - Likely W
    Vs. Thunder (we're 2-0 against them) - Slight Edge to Us (W)
    @ Lakers (could be a tough game) - Likely W
    Vs. Knicks (without Porzingas) - Likely W

    So we probably lose one of those 4, and end up 38-27. However, we're going to be favored in all 6 of these games, so if we could be 39-26, I think we'd be 3rd in the West after that. It'd definitely help us considering that, in our final 17 games, we have (Ranked Hardest to Easier):
    VS GSW
    @ HOU
    VS CLE
    @ SAS
    VS HOU
    @ OKC
    VS BOS
    @ NOP

    If we could go 3-5 in those games, and 6-3 in the other 9, that gives us 47-48 Wins.

    Interesting coincidence that the day we play the Suns is the first day in a week it hasn't snowed here.

    he said Earl Watson got canned in the "second week of the season". I think it was after Game 3.

    Nurk needs to get lower sometimes so he can have better balance and take a short small pound dribble.
