    I'm not concerned about it yet. Sure our schedule gets easier, but have you seen our roster? We're relying on Clarkson and Ellington to carry our team guys... We're going to lose a lot of games.

    Yeah but with this roster our guys are actually playing much more freely and together. The last 2 straight games we have gotten off to a really strong start defensively and offensively. Our guys realize there is no pressure, which is making everyone play better.

    Wait is this the WMC section? [​IMG] seriously though I'm trying to wrap my head around the process needed to keep that pick. My heart says win every game possible, my mind says lose every game possible. It's too weird. Hopefully this is the last season we have to do that. Anyway, we do have a tough 10 game schedule coming up with a 6 game grammy trip. So we might gain a little bit of ground towards the bottom. Two wins I see happening is against New York and the C Bags. (We must beat the C Bags whenever possible, tank or not!) Even so, only 5 games win wise separates us and Minny so anything can happen over the next two and half months.

    The best thing to do is to be competitive for three quarters and lose in the 4th. That seems to be working for us. Our young guys are actually playing pretty well, building some chemistry, but we can't afford too many wins right now.

    35 games left; let's only win about 20% of those games, and I think we'll at least stay in the top 4...

    Unfortunately I don't see us only winning 20% of those games. We are getting better and our schedule is about to get easier

    Yeah but the sick twisted bleep with the "DOLL" is still out there with lots more pins to jam in it. [​IMG]

    Don't worry. Utah and Philly won last night. Still only 3 games out from the 3rd spot. Orlando is going to fire Jacque who is doing a horrible job and watch them start winning games. We'll be fine.

    haha, even that "person" messing with us is probably getting tired of killing us little by little. The only two players of ours that would really bug me if they got seriously hurt would be Young and Clarkson

    I'm not worried unless we go on some 6 game winning streak...agreed that we need make that pick our top priority...the way to ensure that is by having the worst or second worst record in the league...i hope the lakers and byron scott recognize this.

    If Hill is out an extended period, I think we win 20 games tops.

    like last year, I'm worried about Orlando, Utah, and boston out-tanking the lakers. they're all seasoned pros at losing intentionally, so it's going to take full effort to out-lose these guys.

    this is the world I live in now. I'm not proud.

    The reverse standings:

    1. Wolves 8-39
    2. Sixers 10-38
    3. Knicks 10-38
    4. Lakers 13-35
    5. Magic 15-35
    6. Pacers 17-32
    7. C Bags 16-30
    8. Jazz 17-30
    9. Kings 17-29
    10. Pistons 18-30

    Only three games back from 2nd/3rd place. Kobe out, Nick hurt, and now Hill banged up. Clarkson and Ellington are our leaders now. We're in for a lot of losses.

    Looking at our remaining schedule, I still feel like we will cruise to a bottom five record. With the injuries mounting up, I could see us ending up in the top 3. It will be tough to get past the Wolves and 76ers but with no Hill, Kobe and possibly Swaggy we are the worst team in the league (God does it hurt to type that).
