    What we really need is a Tauntaun to keep the guys warm while they rest on the bench.

    It's cute that some of you think we'll make the playoffs.

    I just want us to win half our games and barely miss the playoffs. Best of both worlds. I predicted this team would end the season about .500, but for awhile thought I was being way too optimistic. Now it's looking closer to reality, but .500 would be a big accomplishment.

    Best of both worlds is making the playoffs and having somebody else's lottery pick.

    Yeah could you imagine being Boston or Toronto this year? Battling for the conferences #2 seed and a great shot at a top5 pick.

    A replay of 2007-08 basically; I can get behind that but I kinda want to make the playoffs to say we didn't miss them just because of last summer.

    It may sound good, but I think just winning 40 games would be a similar moral victory. What does it mean to make the playoffs anyway? In many years, teams have gotten in being below 500.

    Playoffs are definitely not a given, but....

    Houston is nose-diving,
    Memphis just lost Gasol for the season,
    Utah is up-and-down,
    and Dallas is a box of chocolates.

    Since the Kings are tanking, we only need to finish ahead of ONE of the above teams to make the playoffs.

    The battle between Portland, Memphis, Dallas, Portland, Utah, and New Orleans (I think they're gonna make a push) for the 5-8 seeds is gonna be interesting.
