    Looking at the OKC schedule, they're not a lock to even make the playoffs. I'd love the Jazz to surge (except against us) and the Thunder to stumble just a bit. OKC is still in control but they have a reasonably tough schedule down the stretch and it's not far fetched for them to screw this up.

    I‘m optimistic in that I‘m looking fwd to next year and expect playoffs even if we don’t get a star this summer. Just worried about losing Randle or having to overpay at this point.

    At one point the worst team in the west with 11-27. We maybe 11th but almost 10 games ahead of the 12th, tied with the 9th rank Detroit in the east. C Bags should enjoy our 10th or worse pick.

    Watching Tiger almost squeeze one out at the end on Sunday and then watching my Lakers take care of business. What's not to love at the moment..

    I can't post on here like I want to anymore (too dang on busy). But knowing we beat the Cavs is delightful. I'm proud of the progress this team has made.
