    Should have our offense centered around and run through Sacre and Black in lineup together..... like they were the second coming of the Twin Towers (ignoring that Black is short) [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Let's hope just hope Lin, Wes, Hill or any other contract-year vet don't do this to us:

    Yep another big night for the tank. I think Minny is going to be close.

    Thank you ORL, its always nice to have that much more separation from the 4th and 5th spot.

    Now we got to take advantage and maintain our Tanking ways

    I estimate Lakers finish with 22 wins - Denver at 22 now, Magic/Kings at 21 - can't see LA falling out of top 4

    Feels about right i still have us at 21, but 4 spot is really secure ATM.

    I'll feel much better about the prospect of keeping the pick and also moving up if we are in 3rd instead of 4th, but still, ORL winning is definitely a positive thing for us.

    Kings are creeping up though, and we play them twice to finish the season. Byron is dumb enough to win those games even if they allow SAC to overtake us.

    I think we end up with 20 wins, but I suppose 22 is possible.

    Man I hope not, or then it is on the front office for being too dumb to explain it to him in very clear language.

    I think the wins we are getting is a perfect storm of Byron, the front office not communicating that we need to tank, and also teams just flat out not coming to play against us. Teams just come out flat against us for the first 3 quarters thinking they will pull it out in the end. It usually works out for them, but man. I am pretty surprised by how flat the Grizzlies and Mavs both came out against us.

    I am just afraid we're going to destroy Detroit. I'm not going to discuss the gamest against Philly, because we're going to crush them.

    I think we lose to Detroit, but I suspect its only a matter of time before we manage to beat one of these good teams that keep coming out flat.

    Quick look thru their schedule: 2x Philly, Minny and Utah at home and 2 against us in the end. The rest is pretty tough-mostly playoff teams, a lot of away games also, but i think they should get 3-4 wins before we meet at the end.

    This is why Byron needs to sit Lin and Booz when they get hot.
