    Any time a team from that region loses, I'm happy.

    That 3-2 record on the road without Lorenzo is huge.

    vs Suns
    vs Thunder
    @ Mavericks
    @ Pelicans
    @ TWolves

    That's our remaining schedule before the All Star Break. 0-5, 2-3, 3-2, 5-0? I seriously don't know. But another 3-2 would be great with vs Thunder one of the 3.

    We should win at least 2, could win up to 4, but I’m pulling for 3-2 to close things out before the ASG.

    Does anyone think we have a chance at sneaking into the 8th spot? We’re not that far behind

    i looked at the schedule for the rest of the year, and just going by chalk (expected wins), i think 30-32 wins is the likely finish (assuming health and all). there could be some fudging with other teams tanking and playoff teams resting and such, though. still, i'm guessing a good distance from the playoff picture.

    but the lakers were 11-27 at one point. to finish with 32 wins would mean going 21-23, or approximately .500 for the latter half of the season. i think that's great progress. wish it wouldn't have gotten as ugly in december, of course.

    Did you not include game result that includes beating Houston, Boston, San Antonio & OKC? Oh wait, we already did those things. :D

    I know, we can easily fall to lotto teams as well. But my point is, going with the odds would not necessarily reflect how our team is gonna perform in the remainder of the season especially with our squad completely healthy.

    ...crew brought it yesterday taking it to OKC that it resulted in them nailed for three techs. The Thunder's reserves could be their undoing in the playoffs.

    I'd like to think so but I don't think it's happening. Pelicans are looking to retool after Cousins went down to stay in the playoffs. Denver will get Milsap back soon. Clips might fall if they trade away Lou and DJ. And Utah should be tanking but the play of Mitchell says otherwise.

    I say we end up a handful of games shy of 8th. (Without looking at remaining schedule). Regardless, that's heck of an improvement of where we were in December.

    Yeah. Life as a fan was so much easier when we already know we're gonna stink in a game.

    We must beat the Suns. No excuses.

    We have already lost one at Staples to them but if we ever want to be good, we can't lose home games to crap teams.

    The loss to the Magic is still burning.
