    Yeah it was a headscratcher why Kaman even started tonight. You roll with Davis everytime. Plus that end game defensive lineup is why we lost. No big man in site to rebound for us which allows ZBo to win it.

    You have to make the tank look real, not like the 76ers and their obvious tank.

    Philly will AGAIN be the worst.
    Brooklyn won't be much better.
    New Orleans should get better, right?
    Lakers may not get much better at this rate.
    Sacramento should start to win a few games.
    Washington will certainly get better.
    Right now Portland is at #7 in the Lottery race. That is still outside of where you need to be where probably you need to be Top-5 to get an impact player.

    With Davis and Plumlee on the floor we have 2 PFs who can't score outside of 3 feet. Kaman made our offense run more smoothly and it saved Davis for the bench when Plumlee needed a rest.

    Of course Kaman balances the floor better but his playing time takes it away from those who will be here next year and beyond. Vonleh got 6 minutes....ridiculous. He needs times to develop. Of course he is not as good now but he will get better and is part of the future, not Kaman. Stotts is playing for wins now in a season where they won't matter. Better to focus on the bigger picture.

    The results don't show it but if he were playing for the future instead of now, he wouldn't be playing Vonleh 6 minutes when Leonard is already out. Instead he plays the oldest guy on the team who won't be here past this season.

    I've said we won't necessarily win as many because of many variables but we are definitely better than last year's team couldn't even play at .500 for most of this. The reason I made the bet I did is because HCP said we'd only win 20 games so I said 20 by the All Star break. Easy money for me.

    That was before Meyers got hurt. Obviously that changed everything.

    Philly, Brooklyn and the Lakers look terrible of those teams but I could certainly see the others passing us in the standings.

    Vonleh has been bad. Memphis is a unique matchup so let's see what the rotation looks like over the rest of the trip.

    I'd rather see young players earn minutes. Crabbe and Harkless are doing so Vonleh not as much.

    I love you JinxSpeed even though you've been pretty hard on me this past month. I just want to make sure you don't forget your prediction. Seems like your memory is getting kinda' cloudy already.
