Everybody's talkin' 'bout the seventh son
In the whole wide world there is only one

I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

I can tell your future, it will come to pass
Do things to you make your heart feel glad
Look in the sky, predict the rain
Tell when a woman's got another man

I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

I'm the one

Well, I can talk these words that will sound so sweet
They'll even make your little heart skip a beat
Heal the sick, raise the dead
Make the little girls talk outta their heads

And I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

I'm the one
Oh, I'm the one
Oh, I'm the one
Oh, I'm the one, babe
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son
I'm, I'm, I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

Do you the John Baldry version
from "Everything Stops For Tea"?

There is some great stuff on that album, alhough is is typical English, tall, gay, blues singer material.
 
No I do not the John Baldry version. I do a lot of things, but I do not versions. I might do virgins, but I do not versions.

True. Maybe Thompson and Curry will both get injured.

That way the fans can have another year of over expectations because WE WENT TO THE SECOND ROUND

Rather, I want to see the team continue to gel with Nurkic, re-integrate a soon-to-be-healthy Turner, perhaps magically see continued improvement from Meyers (via Nurk), and develop into the quality team that many of us were anticipating 6 months ago.

I know it's crazy, but recall that trading for Buck turned a below-.500 team into a title contender. Is it necessarily beyond the realm of possibility that the Nurkic trade could produce a similar transformation?

Obviously we do not have a HOF on our roster like Clyde, so that is a factor. But regardless I think we are still one player away from the transformation. We traded for a young Duck mid season in 86', then added Buck prior to the 89' season. Maybe Nurk is our Duckworth (although I think he will be better) and we are still waiting on our "Buck'?

To me it is
 
If the Thunder play .500 ball the rest of the way, they end up with 38 losses. The Blazers hold the tie-breaker against them so they'd JUST have to go 17-3 the rest of the way to get the 7th seed. Unless the Thunder totally implode, it's not happening.

But the Thunder have lost four straight. Maybe they can keep that up for the rest of season.

I think that would qualify as an implosion, Gramps. I'm in favor, but it's not real likely. Of course, Westbrook may continue with the stat padding in his chase for the MVP, so you never know.
 
It would be one thing Westbrook could do to try and garner some favor among Blazer fans. :)

The blazers also added Drazen and Cliff that offseason.

They averaged a combined 31.7 mpg. Not really the lynchpins of the team, but sure. Similarly, we'll be adding Evan Turner back to the roster this weekend after having missed a month since his hand injury. Who knows how well the team can perform once they all hit the court together?

For the first couple weeks, probably. I don't expect to get a decent feel for the Turner-inclusive squad until after the road trip.

That's the record we need to have over these final 20 games to just MATCH our record from last year. smh

We finished last year at 11-9 over the last 20.
 
We are only 6 games behind Memphis and they play GS tonight so it could be 5 games by the end of the night. Starting tonight, if we go 9-1 in our last 10 and they go 3-7, we would tie the grizz and we own the tiebreaker. Is it likely? No but schedule-wise, it is definitely possible.

They have 3 road games and 6 home games... Knicks, Pistons, Mavs to end the season all at home. At kings tomorrow, only two hard games are Spurs/thunders (1 home 1 away)

So, If you say we have some wins coming because we're at home, they do too, so 3-7 is highly, highly, highly unlikely.

So the answer is no.
 
Damn Grizzlies are right there only 4 games back? What the hell happened to them? Damn we have their pick too
