    Looked like the Milwaukie Elks! They used have them a few years back.

    Clippers have been playing some great basketball as of late. They have become a serious threat to take our HCA.:NOTMARIS:

    Strange Stat: The Orlando Magic, once 31-38 and now the hottest team in the NBA, are only a game out of the 6th seed.

    Not worried. They have three more losses than us. I think we own the tiebreaker too? Does anyone know?

    The funniest thing ever was watching the persistent WTF is my team doing expressions coming from Brooklyn's coach (Kenny Adkinson). Not just once or twice, either.

    "Strange Stat" or another example that not only is the GAME of basketball a game of runs, but the SEASON itself is.

    With the Jazz easy schedule and the Clippers playing so we'll it's going to be a real challenge now.

    Our schedule is easy too. We could win out.

    You honestly think we have a chance to win two games against Denver without Nurkic?

    Yes our schedule is easy with Nurk and CJ playing. When your 2 best players are out, nothing is easy.

    We have a chance. Not appealing odds, but at least a chance

    He's probably right.

    Just looking at BBRef's hall-of-fame monitor rankings, Hardaway at 79.2% has the third-highest rating of any eligible player not in the hall, behind only the unknown Larry Foust, and notable snub Jack Sikma. Looking further down the rankings, Larry Costello (another dude from the 50's) is the only other eligible guy above 50% who isn't in the hall.

    In the next few years, it'll be interesting to see how the HOF candidacy of guys like Billups, Marion, and Amar'e is viewed. They're all in that same rating tier as Hardaway, and I personally wouldn't vote for any of them to be HOF players.
