    For sure, he’d win 6 straight with this roster except the two years Melo plays for the White Sox.

    That might actually increase his odds of winning a championship!

    He got clocked in the paint a bit...when you're leaping and you get stopped before you get off the ground you can hyperextend the knee...like jumping into a swinging door I guess. I hope that's all it is because it's basically just inflamation

    Tince's theory that team with most assists often loses is proved out; Wizards had 13 more assists than us. McMillan's theory that if you win rebounds, turnovers and free throws attempted proves out; Blazers five more rebounds, four less turnovers and six more free throws.

    Hey, that's not my theory!

    The DATA says assists and wins are not correlated. Not that the team with the most assists often loses!

    Really like getting that game.
    Beginning of the season i called 10-10 after 20 games. Glad to be wrong.
    Now if they can possibly go 11-9 on the next 20 games they will be 22-18 with Nurk and CJ coming back soon or already back. Not sure about Collins but still hopeful?
    That would be a very good thing for this season.

    There are a handful of posters who were nowhere to be found during the Bulls game until they lost the lead, then setup shop during the Bucks game, but are mysteriously absent again tonight.

    Must be random!

    How are the Wizards still in DC? If ever a franchise needed to move it's that one. They should have a G league franchise. They should be the Kansas City Wizards or the Ontario Wizards

    But I thought you could only score a lot of points if you had a lot of assists?!?

    Priming the bench production early is a Popovich staple...come playoff time you have a juggernaut rotation in game shape
