    Have to win the "easy" games. So far, we're doing well and improving in the standings.

    I can’t remember the last time we had a blowout like this basically from halftime on. Phoenix never really threatened after that, it was just a fun game to watch in that regard. Excellent games from Kuz, LeBron, McGee, really solid games from BI, Chandler, Beasley, nice game on defense from Zo, and really it was a nice game on defense from the whole team. 14-9, in that playoff hunt as the West tears eachother up. We also currently have a better record than Boston heh heh.

    We took care of business against a team we should win against. Besides Orlando, we've done pretty well doing that this year.

    14-9. 5th in the West...only half game back for 4th and 2 back for 1st in the west....all with our young core not playing up to their potential yet (mainly Lonzo and Ingram) and integrating a bunch of new players including players that need to adjust to LeBron....I'll fricking take it.

    We can possibly have a better record than the Warriors right now, let that sink in.

    It’s good opening up the standings and not seeing us sitting 13th or worse. But still gotta win as much as possible because I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many teams separated by so few losses. Loose a few in a row and it might get dicey. But for right now, I’ll take these results.

    Next 5 games...

    Spurs
    Spurs
    Grizzlies
    Heat
    Rockets

    I’m calling 5-0 to put us in 1st place in the West (19-9)

    Seem like we tend to get up to play for the better teams, so..

    This. To put it into perspective, 4 wins separate #1 and #14 in the West while 15 wins separate #1 and #14 in the East. There is no cushion going here. Houston, the Spurs, The Pelicans, The Jazz, these are not teams used to or happy with their seeding and will fight hard to change that. It will be a battle all season long.

    We can create a lot if distance and cushion room with those Spurs, Grizzlies and Rockets games. I think we go 4-1, dropping one of the Spurs games.

    Since Denzel came into practice for his Genius Series Talk we've been more motivated for sure...

    If you told me back in July a locker room of Rondo, Lance, Beasley and McGee were going to be like this, I would have been skeptical. All we're missing is Robert freaking Sacre.
