    He's 36 years old right now....that's older than Melo..older than Lamarcus..I don't think he's our answer when we have a 20 year old 3 and D guy in Trent and Hood coming back

    Green is an idiot for making those comments about Booker.

    Yeah, not sure why they chose to have teams play different number of games. Teams going in playing less games should have had to play more games to catch up as obviously the teams that have played the most games had a more condensed schedule before the break.

    Yeah and maybe they should have tried to mimic remaining strength of schedule instead of just matching up teams that would have played each other again had the season gone on uninterrupted, totally disregarding the games that would have been played against the worst teams in the league.

    We still have chance at 8th seed, hope we can finish 3-0 to get the best shot at it. Would rather have to win 1 play in game.

    Gary is a much better onball defender than Redick. He is so busy guarding the other team's best, he doesn't have time to take charges.

    Stotts won today too. I guess he's showing why he's a HOF coach too.

    So we want Utah to beat Dallas tomorrow. Then Dallas has nothing to play for against us. Also a Suns loss to OKC tomorrow afternoon would be nice.

    A Brooklyn win tonight clinches the 7th seed in East so they'll have nothing to play for against us.

    Life is pretty simple. If Memphis loses to either Boston or Milwaukee, all we have to do is win our two games and we're 8th.

    Maybe we win out and so do the suns and we play each other in the play in. I think Memphis has to lose out though
