    It’s possible we’ll get the #2 seed, and have a top 5 record in the league. I did NOT see that coming.

    Clippers are short handed too. No Kawhi, Powell or Simmons

    Priority #1 is getting the win during Luka's revenge game. But i also want some distance from Houston, need Ham and co. to do us a solid.

    I have no faith in the Suns ability to win a basketball game. Nor do I with Charlotte unless they're playing us.

    IMO this is a must win game

    Make that statement that we are for real

    Luka revenge game is for real tonight

    Other teams bring your best, (which they do anyways) and we'll bring our best

    Back in the 4th seed after Houston had briefly passed us, ahead of them by .04 points right now. Every game matters right now, we need to be shooting for home court in round 1 at least.

    Now let's make it happen

    Win these games 1 at a time and stay focused

    JJ needs to balance the load management with so many games in a short period

    Thanks OG!

    We're only 1 game back from #2

    Jazz also beat Minny thanks to that Ant ejection/suspension handed out during our game

    Brutal March stretch on the horizon. Before I was skeptical given how Doncic will have to acclimate, lack of a post presence on the floor, all the other factors BUT how they are putting in the effort and playing defense gives me hope.

    13th-20th is the area of concern. There's some other tough ones but that week is brutal with the back to backs. At least Suns are cooked and then SA has injuries.

    Hoping for 10 & 4, but we need to know the extent of our injuries first.

    Rockets and Grizzlies lost, we are in 3rd this far into the season probably for the first time since 2020

    Rockets and Grizzlies are falling off. If we can win 1 out of the 2 remaining Nuggets games, I think we finish 2nd, with the Nuggets 3rd and Warriors 4th.

    If the Cavs start losing, there's a slight chance that OKC might start resting their starters for the games on April 7th and 9th.
