I see lot of talking heads going after Ham for not tanking last night, not pulling his starters out when Zion went down. Clearly they thought they could beat Sacramento in their place Friday. My question are we are in a better place now even without Zion than going to Denver? One of the ESPN guys I think it was Mad Dog noted that we got to the first round and gave the Suns hell two years ago without Zion. Can we do it again? Is Willie this dumb of a coach?

Going from no chance to win to no chance to win is not better.

Yes, we can and will certainly lose in the 1st round if we win Friday night.

Do you expect Shai to get a hamstring injury and that BI is fully healed? If so we can maybe push them to 6 games but we’ll still lose.

I don't think its crazy to think that the Pels can hang with OKC. It all depends on how hot CJ and Trey are. Also, no Zion means Willie will should be forced to use JV more, which means Chet has to spend more of his time guarding someone that outweighs him by 70 pounds, instead of sagging off Larry.
