    Slight optimism, in that this shaves roughly 1M more off of Dallas's cap space, which means a little less that they can now offer to Jules.

    Pelicans are playing a make-up game tonight against the Pacers so tomorrow is their 3rd night in a row. Possible to steal one here.

    Even with the tough losses we're still on track to finish with over 35 wins and that's great progress from last year.

    Who knows where we would be if not for the rash of injuries in December and the ones to Ingram/Hart? Couple those with the bad free throw shooting...? Then the trade which had to be done.

    Thomas, even if he tries to be that closer (which I had hoped for) has not been able to deliver much if at all. 11 games left...

    Optimism thread seemed as good as any other for this. It seems like the time of the NCAA owning athletes is coming to an end in the coming years. This looks to be an interesting show for the times we're in. It will be interesting to see the changes the NBA makes in the years to come on the minor leagues, draft age, working with the NCAA, Lavar's league idea, etc.

    If we were healthy I’d say sure, there’s a chance. But we have no idea if Ingram is coming back, Hart might be back at the end of the month, IT is out 2 games and even when he plays it’s a mixed bag at best, Caruso I read has a concussion currently. We’re supposed to get GP2 for the next game, hopefully Frye soon too, but if our bench remains Ennis, Wear, Zu, Frye and GP2, we are gonna have a rough go. The rookie starters are playing heavy minutes Kuz and Zo), that will be a struggle for them in the final games having never done it before, Randle is having to play 40 mins and at the pace he likes to play he likely won’t be as effective down the stretch. All that said, I’m sure as hell rooting for it and will be watching every game. At least we have almost every game at home coming up.

    I'm not sure, but I bet it easily could be.

    Do pigs fly?
    We are so banged up and our last 6 games are against playoff bound teams (they might be resting or they might still be battling for a spot.
