    Are we making a run after that draft pick after all?

    Watch us wind up with the fucking 7 seed just like Aldridge predicted.

    And get San Antonio in the first round.

    We win that series.

    It's embarrassing to start the season 31-9 and then barely make the playoffs.

    We'll make the team wear bags over their heads when we're kicking the Spurs ass.

    ANd by the way, Spurs have their own injury issues and may fall to 5th seed very soon. We won't be seeing them in the first round if we're the 7th seed. We will be facing Houston who owns us.

    Re: Aldridge out a week with groin pull

    Good call. He will put up numbers. The one game he got real minutes because Aldridge got in foul trouble at home vs Phoenix, he put up 15/9.

    It's one week for LA. We won't miss Leonard. So we need to get through the next week. Let's assume it means getting through the Brooklyn game, which is 8 days from now. Here's the schedule:

    Wed, Feb 19: San Antonio
    Fri, Feb 21: Utah
    Sun, Feb 23: Minnesota
    Tue, Feb 25: @ Denver
    Wed, Feb 26: Brooklyn

    Parker is injured
    Utah is the worst team in the league
    Minnesota isn't bad, but they're beatable here at home
    Denver sucks and is a team in turmoil
    Brooklyn is old and broken

    If we consider ourselves a playoff team, then we need to win without a key player. We did it all the time when we were the Frail Blazers; we can do it now.

    That's it. Parker is out. We can beat the Spurs without him.

    With Freeland out too, Yes, we will miss Leonard. Our only available bigs are Lopez and Robinson. Period. That's it. We were 100% when we played Minnesota who was missing Love, Pek, and Martin and we barely won. How can we beat good teams without Freeland, Aldridge, and Leonard? What happens if Lopez gets in foul trouble? I love your optimism and I will hope Lillard can put the team on his back and carry us but we obviously need to sign someone with Leonard out.

    I knew that. I said the Spurs had injury issues. I even posted the news about Parker in another thread. Duncan will probably sit out tomorrow too (2nd of back to back) but Spurs are good at winning through injuries. Our backup PF is Claver and our backup C is no one.

    Utah isn't the worst team in the league either.
