    After Ed signed with us for relatively cheap and was playing great basketball, he was asked if he felt underpaid. He was very clear that he feels he's paid quite well to do something, and in an environment, that he enjoys. He seems as grounded off the court as he is on it. Wait, that sounded like an insult.

    We need to run the ol' 6-players trick play, snag our free point, and see if we can get the league thinking tie breakers come before overall record.

    Merely being "over .500" makes you a good team? Warriors are over .500 and they weren't much of a threat. I'm talking about elite teams. When do we face an elite team? Seems like we only have 3 more games against teams with a better record than us. So why did people say we have a difficult schedule?

    So, after losing the season series to Portland 1-2.
    Think KD will request a trade this off season?

    Beautiful team win. It got scary there for a while in the third but we pulled together and adjusted greatly. Man, when this team puts it all together .. WATCH OUT because they can fucking BALL. I love this streak and I hope we keep it alive against Miami. Just a fantastic win. Curry or not. You know, I keep hearing idiots outside of our fan base say “OH BUT THEY WONT DO IT IN THE PLAYOFFS. FIRST ROUND EXIT AHAHA.” “THEY ARE THE WEST VERSION OF THE RAPTORS.”

    Man, this team isn’t seeing no first round exit if we are the third seed. We’ll be playing a division opponent most likely and we faired well against all our division opponents this year. Hell, we may even see the Pelicans. No Cousins. We can do this shit. It will get tough if we see the Rockets or Warriors...which we will have to eventually if we proceed to move on in the playoff bracket... but I’m confident this team has a chance every time out there if they all play hard. ON TO WIN #10 !!!! #RIPCITYONTHEYASS

    Here you go -

    There's always unexpected wins, and unexpected losses. But wow. The trajectory they're on right now is amazing. If they beat the teams with worse records, and lose to teams with better records, they'll finish 53-29.
