Only 2 games out of 6th. Nothing to be concerned about. Many more games to be played.

Which would be fine if we were 7th. But we are 12th and passing 6 teams and then staying there is harder than you think. This will be tough and 6 seed is not good enough if your goal is championship anyway. I’d love to be wrong but I’ll think we’ll finish 13th. This is the year to be in the lottery.

Not hard if we're healthy. Big if perhaps but our schedule is a lot easier the second half.

You going tonight?
I just got a ticket. Have not been to a Dallas Mavs game since Wesley Mathews got injured.

The last Mavericks game I went to was a playoff game game, the year Bonzi had a big game and we almost came back to beat them in the series.
 
Honestly I would love it if a bunch of our rotation players were not in uniform tonight because Joe has had a big trade in the chamber for a while just like he had with Grant.

That trade could have been waiting on Ant to be available to trade or Nurk but both will be available to trade before this game ends (9pm).
 
i will follow our defense closely tonight, lets see if they fuck up many possessions as they did against the cavs

dallas have guys who are lob threats (wood, powell, mcgee)
 
Blazers will win. Why?? Because you can't lose them all in this league. Even with Cronin as your GM.
 
Fun (maddening) fact:

Since 1968, the year that the Sonics were an expansion team, the only NBA titles winners for the Western Conference (not counting the Bucks when they won the title and were a western conference team) have been in 4 different states.

California, Oregon, Washington and Texas.

And no western conference team has won a title outside of California or Texas since 1979. Granted, there are almost half of the western conference teams in those two states...

And even MORE maddening? Of the 27 titles from the western conference (not counting the Bucks), 17 of them have been between 2 teams, and 22 of them have been between 3 teams.
 
Ant again with the stupid early fouls. What is this, twice in four or five games he had 2 fouls less than 4 minutes in and messed up the playing rotation?

What is it with these guys and the fouls?
 
Any word On Lamar Hurd? I really miss his commentary, he is honestly one of the best in the nba.
 
Shae could start for us and it would help our defense and I don't know how much it would hurt our offense if we got him as many looks as we get Ant.
