2 games up with 9 left, all three teams chasing us won last night instead of giving up 12 points in 4 seconds ftl or whatever.
We will see what kind of character this team has in how they finish the season Finish like a lion or lay down like a lamb
5-4 is a respectful finish IMO, I imagine that we are going to still sit some guys, down the stretch regardless.
8 games remaining; 4 at home, 4 on the road. In order - HOU, GSW, NOP, OKC, OKC, DAL, HOU, POR None of these will be easy. Realistically? I truly believe we’ll go 4-4.
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine Neither Dereck Lively II nor Daniel Gafford is expected to play tonight in Chicago but I’m told both are on course to return from injury next week. Dallas hosts Brooklyn and Atlanta before a two-game series in LA with the Clippers. Game at Dallas going to be blood bath
Just try to stay healthy .. 11 games in 17 days , hasn't been done by a team since the 2020-2021 shortened season . One last effort against Houston before getting 2 days of rest .. before playing 3 games in 4 days with an early Sunday start .
I wonder if Houston cares whether it’s us or the Nuggets in the 3 seed. Probably not, they’re a young team in this position for the first time. But they’re in Phoenix tonight so I guess they could rest some guys.
I'm truly hoping we can go 5-3 and cement that four seed. I think it'll likely take 49 or 50 wins. Maybe four more wins gets it but some of the other teams have much easier schedules. I'd like us to at least have home court in the first playoff series.
Houston and OKC are the teams that worry me the most this year. Young, athletic teams give us the most problems. I’m not worried about the seeding, as much as I am about the matchups. I actually want to play Denver in the second round so we can send them home.
Well, the Clips just lost to Cleveland. Kawhi took a game off. So, they are 3 losses behind us. I assume the Warriors are going to beat the Spurs today... if they do, they will be #6 and the Clips are in the play-in.
clips wisely punted that game. lue knows they can win almost all of the rest. if it comes down to it, that clips/gs game could be a really fun watch.
