    We're gunning for that elusive 5-game win streak here. Let's get it!

    I'm always impressed that you have these ready to go and posted immediately after the game.

    Nice job!

    So I'm rooting for Pelicans to beat Spurs tomorrow. That'll knock us down to 6th. But then a win against Minnesota moves us into tie with Spurs for 4th and only a half game out of third. I really see us winning these next two games. We're at home and Dame refuses to let us lose.

    Thanks, Sly. I always try to be one game thread ahead so that it can be posted in a timely fashion.

    Oh and Butler being out is no excuse for Minnesota. Wilcox is out for us too.

    I voted GS in the thread poll. I’m just hoping it’s in the WCFs (the poll didn’t say anything about what round).

    Spurs or Twolves in the 1st round with homecourt would be great

    Especially when LA’s PTSD kicks in.

    I like your takes when it's obvious they're a joke! I hate when I have to wonder if they are or not.
