    Can't shy away from competition. If we believe Lonzo is as good as he is on D, then he will take on the challenge. Also, we can through Hart on those guys as well.

    Houston looked like they found their groove again, but I think we're better prepared for them than we were in the beginning of the season. Just not Rondo or BI to give CP3 the business. LANCE!?

    From what I've seen from the season so far, we won't. When I thought we were gaining ground, we lost to Orlando then the Spurs...

    ^ well... Toronto looks better without him (i think he missed 7 or 8 games so far and they lost just once).

    So Nick Nurse is legit then...

    In other news, Western Conference standings looking crazy right now.
    :Kaream Surprise:

    Imagine the Lakers not losing those winnable games... What a wasted opportunity.

    Also, OKC lost, Portland continues to sink... tonight we have a trap game. We’re the better tean, have to come out strong in the first quarter. No playing behind. We could be #4 today.

    6 of the teams currently in the playoffs for the West weren’t in it last season.

    See, a trap game. We don't have a vet to guard Harden, unfortunately. I don't think anything happened in the standings.

    Quick update:

    Lots of good games tonight -

    1. Memphis lost against Miami.
    2. OKC vs Denver is a win-win situation, right? Update: Denver won.
    3. Toronto vs Portland should be a good game. Let's see if the Raptors can win it. Update: They can't.
    4. I can't imagine Golden State losing against Sacramento tonight, but... let's wait and see. Update: Sacramento was competitive, but it just wasn't enough.

    Today is an important day in the Western conference. Here are the standings:

    [​IMG]

    What to watch:

    Houston-Memphis
    LA Clippers-OKC (another win-win for us)

    We really have to win against Charlotte to secure that #4. Maybe even get to #3 soon?

    Eh, I copied it from the nba.com website. Same record, so it doesn't matter that much. If we face them in the first round we have the home court advantage, hehe. They will do us a favor tonight, win or lose.
