With all of our "woes" there are still only 3 teams in the west with more wins.

Merry christmas!

We should be way better than this but at least this season has a bright side. There have been seasons with none

I think it’ll be a great New year run to the playoffs. Got a 3 game ticket combo for Christmas so I’m excited. Merry Christmas y’all.

I'm really curious to see what Larry Nance looks like when he plays against the Jazz on Thursday. If we get something close to last-season Larry Nance, then that will change the trajectory of the season.

Reminder: last season, Jonas's combined +/- for the entire season was -10, and Larry's was +210. Now, Jonas has played a lot better this season, and Borrego is helping us use him better, but my point is that the Larry Nance that played last season was very good.


The other big unknown, of course, is whether or not Zion can get back to the dominant level of play that he had at the beginning of last season.


If those two things happen, then we'll be a top-four team in the West at the trade deadline, and Griff will have a strong argument to Gayle to be buyers and try to go get a guy to put us over the top. If not, then we'll likely have to win a play-in game and end up with a first-round playoff exit.

interesting... you say they are learning experiences, yet Willie clearly isn't learning from them... what's, in your opinion, is the solution?
