    46% isn't sustainable, but we needed all of it. Definitely have work to do.

    If they can do that, I think we win it all.

    any team that can shoot 46% from deep and isn't last on defense would have a shot haha.

    Yep but then we got AD in the middle and Lebron doing his thing. If we can put 46% shooting around them, we gonna win a lot of games and might have what it takes to be a winning playoff team. With AD playing like this, not sure I see another team who I think is better.

    Sirron is right, but this is the Optimism thread. In here, Wino is right. :)

    Tonight is a big test. I don't know if Phoenix will go Super Nova on treys like they did in the second quarter of our last meeting. Have to lock in defensively, stay within striking distance. Redick will have to show his chops on the road in a hostile environment.

    wrong thread, but this has loss #1 written all over it. Fully healthy phx team who's playing well, on the road, 3rd game in 4 nights, and we already beat them once a few days ago. winning would shock me.

    on the other hand, in the early going i think we can compete with anyone, so i wouldn't fully rule out a positive outcome. i'm just not going to get too down if we can't make it happen. same with the cleveland game. but if we lose both of those, we must win the next two.

    Yes, at least we could likely be prepared for this game. It won't be a disorganized, streetball pace with occasional nonsense plays thrown in.

    Beal is questionable. I know players come back from the dead to play us, but it's worth noting

    4-0 and I think that Cleveland is first time that Lakers could lose

    beal really is glass. i'm sure he'll drop 40 on 70% shooing tonight, though.

    you're in the right thread!

    If I had to guess, I'd say Bron's gonna coast. He is very analytical, so he'd go "3 - 1 is 75%, which would put us at 62 wins, which is amazing. I'd rather win in Cleveland".

    We're in a tougher conference. At least we can be in every game not roll over. I was realistic that last night we will not be blown off the floor. The fact that we withstood a bad second quarter and had chances to win it is encouraging.
