    What Kareem said. Seems like odd timing for this puff piece with both of them out of a game that should have been won. Whatever.

    Optimism for the immediate future. Beating the Jazz tonight on the road. :D

    ^^^Nah, I would want the Jazz to win so that in case it turns into a 4-5 matchup vs OKC, they got homecourt. Perfect bracket for George to be a Laker is OKC falling in that 1-4 bracket where its 1st round vs Jazz, 2nd vs. Houston and possible WCF vs GS.

    Tonight, I'm paying more attention to the GS vs OKC matchup on TNT. KD and Klay are in for that game with Steph, Iggy, Livingston, Casspi and Looney out. Hopefully the Dubs put a beatdown on them.

    And in terms of our Cavs pick, hoping Toronto puts the smack down on Bron and crew tonight as well.

    Also further playoff indications tonight:

    Hopefully Miami doesn't win tonight cause OKC plays them in a week and hopefully that game still means something. OKC gets Houston next and you know that has playoff implications, so maybe that game gets turnt up for bragging rights.

    Well thought out.

    I still want them to win though. I have a feeling OKC will stay 5th or 6th with Spurs remaining at #4. I don't want them to fall down to 7th. A Curry-less Warriors in the 1st round against PG in the playoffs with Melo, Westbrook and Adams... Too risky. No thanks.

    6th would be the most ideal and likely situation. They've lost all their games against Portland in the regular season.

    My optimism is that okc lost and even though we lost Utah winning is good for the outcome of okc's fate. If Denver keeps winning while OKC keeps losing they have a chance (slight) of being out of the playoffs altogether. (George coming to us)

    For me, Kuz makes this team worth watching more than any other player.

    Kept the pressure on an opponent desperately needing a win to stay on the playoff hunt. Undermanned and did not blink in OT after that game winning shot just rimmed out. Growing up some...

    This was a HUGE win. We needed it badly.

    KuzGOD is such a beast. My goodness.

    I love this team man. I hope we can somehow get to 37 wins, but i'll settle for 35. We need to end the season on a high note.

    I’ve always liked Rachel Nichols. No, really I have, very objective reporter. Good stuff here, it’s ok to enjoy this team in the moment
