    This alone needs it's own thread! I honestly think the Jazz are the best first round option..Clippers maybe IF CJ is back. If I coached against the Jazz I'd throw a lot of bigs at Gobert and try to get him in foul trouble...we have 4 7ftrs to fuck with him and that's a lot of fouls to give...just keep Zach and Enes out of foul trouble and I think we can beat the Jazz in a series..but it's really important to shackle Gobert with fouls

    I didn't include CJ and Nurk since they aren't playing but yeah obviously if CJ comes back we don't want him to get hurt again whether you are on Team CJ or not.

    I’m rooting for the Lakers to win all the rest of their games. Mess with LBJ’s head a bit to watch them win without him, with the added benefit of worse lottery positioning. #winning!

    Totally agree. Play to win and rest only after it doesn't make any difference.

    The Blazer game might be relevant?

    To do that you put him in pick and roll situations. All game long.

    Crap! I thought we were done playing the Fakers. I amend my statement to I hope that they win all of their games EXCEPT the one against the Blazers.

    Not for The HCP. He may need who to root for to include Blazer games.

    Since I find myself often thinking about things from a GM perspective...

    If you want a chance at Blake Griffin this off season you should be rooting for Detroit to not make the playoffs.

    Same for the Heat if you are being proactive about a one year replacement for Nurk as Whiteside has one year left on his deal too.

    I'm rooting for Mrs. HCP to marry a non-Laker fanboi.

    In a sense, that would be rooting for the Blazers.

    I'd pull a Popovich and rest the starters.

    This should be a bit like the Charles Barkley "Who he play for?" game.

    Every day we quiz HCP "Who he root for?"
