    We had fucking Wenyen Gabriel trying to guard AD. That's how great our chances were.

    If Dallas, Phoenix, and Memphis win their series I think we are going to the finals boys.

    I actually like our chances if we can somehow get to the Finals and play someone like Brooklyn. They play zero defense and we have the horses to keep up with them offensively. But that requires getting past some really good teams in the west that DO play defense.

    I think our best path to a chip is...

    Beat Den
    Beat Pho
    Beat Dal
    Beat Philly

    That would be my preference considering we wouldn’t have to be playing against the refs too in those series. I do not wanna play either LA team or Brooklyn and watch them go to the line 30+ times a game.

    To make matters worse, the refs literally wouldn't let Wenyen touch AD.

    I'd give up my left kidney to get him to Portland. I'd give Stotts and a second rounder easy.

    I finished a paver-stone patio, drove Uber for about 12 hours, spent 6 hours at church, and watched all of one half of a basketball game.

    I'm jealous.

    I got a lot done. Of course that meant being showered and dressed by 5 AM.
