Pulse check on everyone.

We become the first 49 win team to miss the playoffs

Tied game in the last 2 minutes of the 4th. Willie trots out Dyson / Herb / Naji / JRE / Zion lineup to finish the game. We lose by 12

I made a bet before this game.
Pels win 1st quarter
Lakers win 2nd quarter
Pels with 3rd and 4th quarter each.
+1200 parlay, and it hit.

I did not expect us to lose in that scenario.


I honestly don't care if we win tomorrow. I say that as i'm still sad and irritated at what happened last night. Of course i want them to win, but if we play a playoff series without Zion, it really won't mean anything. We don't need more evidence of what this team does without him, and to be honest all it will do is hurt the team more than likely b/c it gives expectations that aren't based on the real lineup needed to win a championship.


I"m ready to move BI for a legit 5, as in Bam, Lauri, KAT. Someone who will complement Zion to the best of both their abilities.
I want to see more Trey, and got dammit i want to see more Hawkins.
Give Jose a new contract. He doesn't deserve to play a 4th year making under $2M. Decline his club option and give him a new deal.

It's either we lose and go 5-1 against a team before the actual playoffs. Which I don't believe has ever happened before. Along with being the only 49 win team not to make the playoffs. Or we win and are hoping Zion might make it back by the very end of the season again. If we can't get a win to 2 loses in 1st round by some mirical before Zion coming back, None of this season matters. At least we get a higher pick.

We have just witnessed the absolute worst outcome that was realistically possible to end the season. All that with a sophomoric coach. That if is back next year minus well tune out. I have been really optimistic fan untill yesterday, now I'm a doomer. I don't think we will ever have a season where we end on a positive note. I just want to make a conference finals series and be a realistic contender. I doubt I see that before Miss Benson kicks the bucket. And thus high likelihood of team leaving. Don't worry though locked in on pels guy will still be there like the move never happened.

This was Zion make or brake year he just broke, unless he comes back healthy in time to make a deference in the first round. At some point you just can't keep expecting or even hoping he will be healthy for the playoffs.
