    I wish someone could set a pick for Sharpe.

    Eubanks is a very bad pick-setter.

    Too many turnovers, but otherwise, another good evening for Shae. Showing a lot of little things that he is improving on to go with the ridiculous athleticism.

    The Pacers and Magic won! If we lose out, we're set at #5.

    Shaedon has ridiculous passing ability for someone so young. I also like how he jumps the passing lanes.

    looks like their pick is pretty well locked in at 23rd. They are 2.5 games out of 24th, and 2.5 games out of 22nd

    And it doesn't appear we'll play another team who has an incentive to lose

    Crazy to think our best road win of the season was on opening night, against the Kings.

    Best home win was October 24th.

    San Antonio will have no incentive to win other than being at home in front of their fans. Should be enough but you never know

    if the Warriors are locked in their seed that final game they may trot out a really bad lineup....that could be a danger

    There is a big difference from having no incentive to win and having an incentive to lose.

    Unless we play a team actively attempting to lose to improve their playoff matchup (unlikely), there is zero excuse for us to accidently win a game.

    opening games are tricky for everybody

    I think the best road win was at Memphis on Feb 1. Nurkic only played 2 minutes and Hart didn't score, but the Blazers outscored Memphis by 16 in the 4th and won by 10

    Who would have thought that a guy who went 41-100 is a vastly better coach than Stotts but those are the facts of this.

    However, they don't mind if the win. So they can play all their guys.
