    I'm not a fan of injuries...but finding the silver lining in it....big loss for Sac if its a longterm injury. MRI scheduled tomorrow and had to be carried off by 2 teammates.



    My guess: torn meniscus.

    SAC were the 3rd healthier team as of Feb 15th ( only 48 games missed by injured players) though .

    IIRC, the Clippers and the Kings battling tomorrow. Battle of the giants, truly - too bad they can't both lose. We, on the other hand, play the Bucks. Ouch man.

    Maybe Giannis will be motivation enough for playoff Bron to make an appearance and we can shock the world by beating the Bucks, who knows.

    Watch Brook drop 6 of 8 3s on us and block 4 shots in yet another payback effort. Just seeing him again on another team will suck and then we have Zubac coming up.

    I kinda want the Kings to beat the Clippers....we need them to go on a 6-7 game losing streak so they can finally tank and stop competing for the playoffs...

    But then again...Kings have a cake scheedule to finish the season so maybe I prefer them to lose tomorrow?

    Either way...Clips have some tough games coming up...but so do we (Bucks Nuggets C Bags)...not to mention we face the Clippers too in this stretch

    Seems like the Bucks are trying to turn the dial down on Giannis for the playoffs so hopefully he doesn’t go off against us. Then again everyone wants to beat us.

    Bagley out a few weeks but Sac has an easy schedule and maybe Barnes steps it up. Giles too.

    On the other hand, we might beat them. We generally lose against bad teams.

    ...for what it's worth, it was noted last night that 16 of our last 21 games are against playoff teams.

    It's not about the Clips or the Kings , they lost some games lately , it's about us .

    My question is how do you win games on a regular basis with only 4 useful players on your roster ?

    Unless at least a couple of players not named Bron , BI , Kuz and Bullock start contributing , we're done

    We actually seemed deep at the beginning of the season except at the 5. And then Byron's old hats hit the fan.

    Looks like the tenants are going to make it

    12 out of their 18 remaining games are at home .

    They will play both the Cavs and Knicks twice , Bulls and Grizz

    I don't think we make it. We can't string together quality wins. The last time we blew someone out was end of Jan against Suns, before that, beginning of Jan against Dallas. Every win since then have been a struggle.
