    I have no problem at this point if we do NOT make the playoffs. However I would not be surprised if we made the playoffs based on our ending schedule. If we get healthier.

    If we do make the playoffs several of our role players need to build some trade value...that's the positive in that...I just don't see us squeaking in and Stotts is playing Napier and Layman right out of the break

    Can't believe 6 people think we won't get in. With the upgrade at the center position and with 10 of our last 12 at home, we are clearly the favorites. We also have the tie breaker over Sacramento and Denver.

    Nurkic actually made this team interesting to watch again, he is making them play the right way instead of Harlem Globetrotters basketball.

    Maybe Dame will actually learn that circus shots from 30' with a hand in his face count just the same as shots behind the 3 point line.

    Vonleh is a good post up player when a shorter defender switches up on him, i want want to see more pick and rolls with Vonleh.

    This is how bad this season has been.....that we might actually have need for the tie-breaker with SAC and DEN.

    Especially when you predict we'd finish ahead of Golden State and San Antonio!

    Okay....after looking at that draft sheet, I guess I hadn't realized Brooklyn was THAT shitty. Wow. 15 losses in a row?

    Brooklyn has a very bleak future.

    He spends every whistle tucking loose strands back into the nest. It's maddening.

    Blazers could catch a break with Lowry out. Even if they lose, I want to see HOW they play. Toronto is the better team so I wouldn't expect a win but want to see how they compete. Portland was the better team against ORL and should have won. Hope for a close game if not a win.
