we're 2.5 games out. I think we can get that, how funny will it be if Tyreke walks and the Kings don't even get a lotto pick in return?

14-11 or better end at least 2-1 vs Denver and we are in IMO. 69% chance

Wonder if HOU will play Capela/Harrell/Ryno lineups Thurs so they can hide Ryno on Hill? Hopefully Hill will own him.

I don't even now if the Nuggets care about making the playoffs. They've been wanting to trade players like Chandler, Gallinari, Barton and Faried for weeks now.

I was talking with my friend last night and the question isn't whether or not we're better than Portland and Sacramento right now because we certainly are my question is exactly how much better we are in the western conference. If we can't crack the 8 seed now something is terribly amiss.

Let's see how well he gels with the team and how the chemistry is.

I actually want them to stay at the 8 seed. Pels present a matchup nightmare now in the front court against Golden State.

Just the front court, what about the rest of the team?

They won't catch OKC at 9 games back so your safe. It's pretty much 8 or bust

Is there any doubt that San Antonio will go on one of their vintage 20-2 streaks to end the season..

Bunch of salty old veterans + Popovich finding ways to get under Boogie's skin and get him ejected every game

Last 5 games of the season includes: vs Den, @DEN, @GS, @LAL, @POR

Tough west coast 4 game road trip to end the year, but we probably have the opportunity to control our own destiny at that point.

That isn't really a tough schedule at all. There is 1 team there at least within 5 games of .500.

What worries me is how long will it take for them to gel. I think they get in as the 8th seed, but wouldn't be surprised to see them just miss out.


We start the season with AD/Boogie/Jrue and we win 50-55 games.

That's where AD comes in now with Boogie. If they can gel with some big to big passing under the basket, they will DOMINATE the paint. It's going to be freaking awesome to see how much better this team is with such a powerful offense under the basket. Teams will not be able to get under his skin short of just flagrant fouls with AD taking off so much heat. I think Boogie is gonna love it here!

Tough 4 game westcoast road trip meaning tough in the sense that you have to travel to the west coast for 4 games to end the season, not a comment on the caliber of opponents.
