    Our next two games are against Phoenix and Sacramento. Then we play hobbled Minnesota team at home on national TV. We could get up to 3rd sooner than later.

    Leonard being out, plus having the toughest remaining schedule, is going to make it tough for the Spurs to keep from slipping. If Butler is seriously hurt, The TWolves are in tough shape.

    Just maintain focus. You can't count on gimme wins. You do that , and you lose. With Dame at the helm, I don't see that happening.

    What if they face Phoenix, Sacremento, and Orlando right before us? That'd be 3 easy ones and 1 difficult one.

    Just sayin, myopic doesn't work for everything.

    They're still talented, but that would be a major blow to their chances.

    Wolves are garbage without Butler. No leader.

    Find me a team that plays Phoenix, Sac, and Orlando before playing us.

    Just sayin.

    By the way, I don't like you and would block you if I could.

    Should be, but hopefully the Blazers don't think that way. I see Dame not allowing over confidence. He respects the opponents.

    Jazz fans hate Nurkic

    Mission accomplished.

    That wasn't the point, but okay. My point was we aren't the reason they have a hard schedule, but maybe a PART of it.

    Sorry you don't like me. I like you. But thats on you. I still root for you in life and hope the best for you. <3

    Yes Dame does. I believe in our team. Back in the jail blazers days, Rasheed was talented as hell but that team had no leadership. Pippen kinda but he wasn't like Dame.

    It's all about focus. One game at a time. Phoenix lost at home tonight, and now we face them tomorrow. Never easy beating a team, no matter who they are, at their home after they lost. Must continue to get the ball into Nurk. And perimeter defense, with the great Booker, is always the highest priority.

    So I can't root for you in life because I don't know you?

    But you don't know me and you have every right to not like me? Do you see the hypocrisy in that or is it just me?

    They're not garbage, but they are less talented for sure. KAT is pretty awesome.
