I don't think we'll make the playoffs :o(

Many fans have pointed to fatigue/lack of depth as being a significant part of the team's problems. If that is true, it is only going to get worse as the season wears on.

Too bad there is no way the front office could have seen that coming!

I don't know how you figure that. Camby and Roy should be back after the All-Star break, which will add two good players to the rotation.

If "all-star" Roy was comming back, I would agree. The current Roy won't help, and could easily become a detriment. All this assumes that he actually does come back and play this season.

I don't think he has to come back at an All-Star level to be of help. I also think that, given his knee situation and what he's said, he will be willing to be a 6th man off the bench. In that role, I don't see any negatives to him coming back. I guess we can all have our own opinions until we see how it plays out, but I actually think the situation is fairly positive as far as chances of making the playoffs.

compare utah. they have at least a slightly tougher remaining schedule than we do.

Utah has 1 more road game than us, but Memphis has 3 fewer.

remaining opponents
win record..home vs. away..team

.516 15-17 Utah
.533 19-13 Memphis
.528 17-16 Portland

Two unknowns will determine this, trades and injuries.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll hold off Memphis. They just have a better team than we do currently. With all of our injuries I just don't think we'll make it any more. I hope I'm wrong.

5 of our next 6 are against losing teams and then we have a 5 game home stand. We'll be just fine.

I hope you're right.

I believe Roy's pride and drive will get him back on the court - eventually. The catch is, he has to adapt his game/attitude, or it could do more harm than good.

we should get the phx training staff up in portland. if grant hill can do it, roy can.

It's hard for me to make predictions about our playoff chances because I don't know what our team is going to look like after the trade deadline.

They'll look exactly the same as they do now, but with Camby playing instead.

Be careful about expressing that opinion. It really seems to upset some of the posters here.

(for the record, I agree with you)
