    If there were ever a time for one of our third-year lotto forwards to step up and make a name for himself, this is it.

    This is horrible, and probably screws us up for next year too. With LMA out, Wes is gonna have way more opportunities to showcase his skills and up his stats, thus some damn teams will offer him max if he does..ugh.

    Once we get Lopez/Freeland back, and if we don't have any other big injuries, it's still a pretty good team. I don't really care about the standings, just about making the playoffs and being healthy when they arrive. But guys gotta step up.

    Let's look at best case scenarios ...

    Leonard becomes a stud

    We make it to the playoffs with a healthy team

    We get a killer trade that pushes us over the top and we get the underdog chip back that we've been lacking

    If we make it to the playoffs with health we'll be fine. Not sure what magic you expect Neil to do at this point.

    Was hoping for the best but expected the worse.

    So if we have 31 wins and there are 39 games left and we go 500 then that puts us at about 50 or 51 wins.

    We simply can not lose to sub 500 teams from here on out whether it's at home or on the road.

    This. Also, Batum needs to keep having games like he had last night.

    Was there any chance for him to play with it? If so, did his upcoming free agency have anything to do with the decision?

    Maybe NO needs to package a deal for Greg Monroe now. Seems like a great fit at this moment.

    With the way Monroe and the Pistons are playing right now, I don't think Van Gundy would be that interested. I think they try to do whatever they can to keep him after this season.

    I'd expect nothing else from that group of idiots. I've seen so many thunder fans who think losing Durant for a few weeks was the worst thing that could have ever happened to them.

    That's true. But if they don't think they can resign him (which sounds like he doesn't want to come back), maybe CJ/Truck/1st for Monroe.

    The more I thought about this the more I agree you are right. Batum stepping up gives us a chance.

    Am I the only one who thinks we still make the playoffs WITH home court advantage.
