Our Playoff Position: Western Conference Watch. Calendar And Schedule (first Post)

there was more than 2....I wanted to trade Down for Fox but that obviously wasn't happening and no that joke is not about lamenting on wanting Fox, Zo has missed every single chance to matchup against Fox since the summer league

 

LOL like he was actually ducking him and not each injury at the times. Of course you'll go there on anyone not in your favor these days. Cough .... Luke.

I know. You factually were just reporting why it popped up in conversation. Will get that out of the way.

 

I think I started it by saying it’s too bad Lonzo is out, even though he hadn’t announced it yet.





Sorry!

 

In hindsight I still take Ball with no second thought.

 

I wanted down for fox/Collins or out entirely (for Paul George or another star). But it was clear what we wanted as an organization.

Hey, if he plays more like last night, people can clown past me!

 

We'll be fighting for that PO spot till the last moment.

 

These last 2 loses really f***ed us in the standings. We need to play with a win or go home mentality. Because the West is literally playoffs opponents from 1-14 seed. We really need McGee and LeBron back ASAP

 

By the end of the season, we will not be fighting for an 8 seed. These losses might be the difference between a 4 or 5 seed, but there is no chance we’re fighting for our playoff lives in the last week of the season. Don’t get me wrong, the last 2 losses have been infuriating and I’ve been disappointed with everyone except Zo and Kuz. I’m finally nearing the point where I’m wondering if BShaw could be worse than Luke. Despite all that, we’re a 100% lock for the playoffs unless Bron has a more significant injury.

 

How are 2 losses verses Western playoff teams with no Lebron worse than 2 losses with Lebron vs Orlando? We were about the same win % then .579 compared to
.556. Those are the games to be upset about. Or a 32 pt beatdown by Denver with Lebron. Not justifying these losses but without LeBron and Rondo, that's a massive cut of in-game leadership and production.

Definitely need show some pride playing at home Sunday and make up for that loss in Sac

 

I get what you are saying ... but fans are pissed off at the young core being not able to step it up enough/close games out

 

What fans are pissed off about and actual reality are always 2 different things. At least it seems like. This is the most parity we have seen in the Western Conference ever. Period. We just took out damn near 50% of our cap in roster out in injuries while in an extremely tough segment of our schedule. Being in games to be able to close out is a good thing especially Western playoff teams. They are still young and learning to not have LBJ pick them up and to do it themselves themselves. We don't have that #2 and the closest thing we have to it is Rondo who is out. The positive is the learning that will occur here.

 

Some of us are probably living too much in the moment ( and too much invested into the playoffs race after only 36 games ) and scared of missing the playoffs ...

 

He has no choice but he's exhausting himself right now . He will shoot 35/20/85 in the playoffs

 

Houston does this every year. There will be a stretch where the ESPN pundits will start asking the annual, “is James Harden the best player in the NBA?” They’ll run out of gas in the playoffs and he’ll fold. Rinse and repeat.

 

^ if they stay healthy, watch out.

 

Big if and they aren't as deep as last year even and Ariza's gone. F*** Houston and Harden. (I hope)
