1 Golden State Warriors 11 0
2 San Antonio Spurs 8 2
3 Dallas Mavericks 7 4
4 Phoenix Suns 6 4
5 Los Angeles Clippers 6 4
6 Oklahoma City Thunder 6 5
7 Denver Nuggets 6 5
8 Memphis Grizzlies 6 6
Utah Jazz 5 5
Minnesota Timberwolves 5 6 .
Houston Rockets 4 7
Sacramento Kings 4 7
Portland Trail Blazers 4 8
Los Angeles Lakers 2 9
New Orleans Pelicans 1 10


If we had everyone healthy, including Jrue Holiday not being on a minutes restriction where would we be? I'd have to imagine we could be at least where the Rockets are right now, which is only 2 games out of 8th and 4 games out of 4th.

I'm not really trying to be a sunshine pumper, but the narrative would be vastly different to start the season. Rather than asking when we can fire Gentry, maybe instead we'd just be talking about how we are adjusting to a new system and with the way the Western Conference as a whole has performed up to this point, that we may have nothing to worry about.

Obviously its frustrating to watch as a fan after so much promise in the offseason, but maybe its time for us to calm down and see what this team can do when healthy. Even if we miss the playoffs, which does seem likely at this point, we should at least wait to see what happens the rest of the season before we decide if Gentry can be a coach that can actually make us a contender.

I honestly have no clue what the group is, when healthy. They've never been on the court together.

This team hasn't been healthy since the Byron Scott was here. Sad, but thats not really an exaggeration.

Monty's first year wasn't awful sans the Dwest injury.

Even still, how often did we have any major injuries before the season started, outside of Eric Gordon?

I mean this luck is just awful. Even if we were without one or two guys, maybe we'd be in a spot where we weren't too worried right now with how bad the West has been so far

Tyreke being out is what hurts bad

Seems that way now, but i'm not sure.

When Jrue was out, we said the same thing him. When Ryno was out we said the same thing about him and the spacing he brings. Before we got Cole and Pondexter, a terrible bench was the problem.

Outside of Davis, im not positive any single guy moves the needle that dramatically. Replace Gordon or Jrue's minutes with Tyreke and i'm not sure we're any better right now. Its the just the volume of injuries that has us so awful at the moment.

4 or 5 wins max. this team isn't very good. Moore was tweeting about it earlier saying it's not just injuries. I agree with him.

Yeah, but if we are sitting at 4-7, tied with the Rockets, are people calling for Genty's head right now?

It won't ever happen because this team has never nor will it ever be fully healthy. We have been going through this for how long now?
