    FYI... The Wizards, who just lost their best player for the year, have TEN games against teams with worse records than us down the home stretch. Each of those games just got significantly more winnable...

    Cronin should have had you be GM during the Clippers trade negotiations.

    Not really sure why you're choosing to make this personal, because I... am trying to discuss things in a somewhat optimistic fashion? Says a lot about you as person if you're taking something like this this hard. Might I suggest backing away from the keyboard for a bit?

    Lol you probably thought I was being sarcastic. I was being serious. Cronin didn't put as much rationale thought into the clippers trade as you did into your post. Good post.

    Tonight we are rooting for Orlando, Houston and Sacramento. Their opponents are beatable: Portland, Minnesota and New Orleans.

    I root for Minnesota, that they increase the gap to New Orleans. Sacramento will catch us, it's just a matter of time

    I’ve been extremely negative about the trades but I have to admit I see there’s a plan and I’m kind of buying in on it

    I also would rather see us swing big and miss rather than continue to make small changes that might mean a few more wins but still an early playoff exit. That said a lot has to fall in place for this plan to be successful

    Crap. Looks as if NO will beat Houston easily tonight.

    It's not all bad if Minnesota wins because they are one of the teams keeping New Orleans as a nine or 10 seed.

    Sacramento looks like a different team with Sabonis in there. He is already clicking with Dearon Fox and the rest of the team.
    It looks like they not only will pass Portland in the standings but could battle New Orleans for one of the play in spots.

    The Sabonis trade will ensure that the Kings move above us in the standings.

    You guys better think twice if you thinks this team is going to purposely tank like you want them too.
