    They officially control their own destiny now.

    It would be sweet to respond to the early 13 game losing streak with a 15 game winning streak to end the season. Next 8 will be a tough stretch.

    If we can beat the Lakers on Sunday 8th should be in the bag.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Grizzlies' help on defence was a joy to watch. Lakers played poorly but we must give credit to their opponents. It was so pleasant to watch the team I hate being smothered like this. I still believe if we play smart we can do the same.

    Lillard coming back wednesday

    They have the second easiest shcedule in the west and really lost zero ground on us

  9. #184
    They were ahead of us. Now they're behind us. That's ground.

    The thing is, these teams we're competing with, they're not as young and newly put together as us. They didn't deal with as many missed games due to injury as us. Ever if we were all even and had the exact same schedule, we are the team that's actually turned a corner and has hope for improvement.

    We have a tough schedule upcoming so expect to lose a bit of ground but then we end with a cakewalk 15 game stretch and that's where we will separate from the lottery teams.
    Good positive energy.

    But also, yo mama's fat.

    They also still have Whiteside and Melo.
    That's at least another 5 losses.

    The Lakers were giving us a “W” too. Nope 10 is good enough. Do your thing Lebron. That was us Sunday. We might need to ask the NBA to replay that Utah game if we have any chance.

    The last time we told him to "do his thing" he mailed it in against Memphis just so he can put a whooping on us.

    Memphis final 17 game stretch is Death by 1000 cuts. Minus the Knicks---- They play Toronto 2x' -- Bucks-- C's-- Pels 2x's-- Houston--Port 2x's ---Utah--Denver-- Spurs---OKC---Dallas & Philly ! Juxtaposed to the Pels who will be favorite in 8 of final 10 games.

    Close this thread. They don't deserve it.

    Welcome back #12

  18. #193
    Tonight:

    Pelicans: Win
    Spurs: Lose
    Wolves: Lose
    Grizzlies: Lose
    Blazers: Lose

    Brilliant stuff. 4 games back, tied with Sacramento.

    Next game up is @ Minnesota. Can't afford to cough up another loss to them. Need to take that one.

    After that, we have Kings, Jazz, Clippers, but then we hit the easy stretch.

    Hawks, Spurs, Grizzlies, Kings, Grizzlies, Knicks, Magic, Hawks, Wizards, Spurs, Hornets, Suns, Sixers, Wizards, Spurs.

    If we can beat Minnesota and Sacramento, then we'll be up to 29-36. Then we'll probably lose Jazz and Clippers; 29-38. Then we go something like 12-3 against these teams to close the year, even assuming a loss to the Sixers (which isn't guaranteed because it's at home and the Sixers suck on the road) we'd finish the year out at 41 wins.

    That's the playoffs. We hit 40 wins, we make the playoffs, is basically how I'm looking at it.
    Basketball.

    Who we want?
    Sacro or Port?

  21. #196
    If the separation happens it won't start till about mid-March. We just need to hold as much ground as we can until then.

    We would have a legitimate chance to beat Lakers too now that Lebron has publicly said he will not play in a empty arena.

    Thank you, Cleveland. Nice OT victory over the Spurs tonight.
