    Can you imagine? A first round matchup with the warriors? Would be awesome for these young guys to experience that and maybe get lucky and win 1 game. (too optimistic for the optimism thread? hahaha)

    45-37 should be the safest record to seal at least the #8 spot although 43-39 may take you there considering how close and unpredictable games have been.

    19-29 currently. So we need to go on a 26-8 tear the rest of the way to seal it or 24-10 to have a good shot at it. Either way, it'll be extremely tough. But yeah, just the thought of it tickles.

    We're doing this with our best player hurt. Our improved play is a pleasant surprise. Maybe the guys are figuring stuff out, from the players to the coaches.

    We’re straying into semi respectable territory.

    8 of 10?

    I love this happened on the heels of Lavar popping off about Luke.

    I love that the team is finding a way without Lonzo.

    Lots to be encouraged about!

    4 in a row feels good!!! I was worried for a bit there when Chicago went on that 16-1 run, but I'm so glad we pulled it out. Good win!

    We're going to win 22 in a row like the 08 (?) Rockets and make the playoffs .

    LET'S GO

    Lavar will probably take credit for motivating the team with his narcissistic a**

    I really did have a feeling it would elevate the team, Luke included.

    He's waiting for us to make the playoffs next year before putting on a gold one ;)

    With the Clips definitely rebuilding now, hopefully that will be another team that will fall off and we can past up in the standings.

    Jazz, Clips and Grizzlies should all start slipping soon tbh. If we have our stuff together, we could rocket ourselves up the standings.

    Which would leave us with only Nuggets to deal with for that 8th seed which by the way are not too far ahead. Plus expect the Pelicans to drop a lot of games as well.

    haha right on cue...

    From Lavar himself

    "Everybody’s trying to figure out why did I say Coach Walton has lost the team. Did somebody tell me that? No. I have two eyes. I’m looking at the game. No high-fives. And the way I do this? I know everybody going to come down on me. That’s fine. See, they didn’t know I knew that before. So now you not even worried about the Lakers no more. You’re just worried about me talking about Luke.

    Now, what’s going to happen when I say you lost the team? Everybody going to jump on board, because they lost the team, or everybody going to band together. They ain’t start winning until I made that comment. But if I let you keep losing games after games without saying nothing, it’s going to go in the same boat, talking about ‘they’ll get better, they young.’ No. Forget that. So they was like, ‘Hey, they coming at us,’ and they all band together now. So now you gonna start winning. That’s what [they] needed: a jump charge. But I’ll do that."
