Pelicans going down tonight

 

[thunderc]

Just picked up Schroeder on a fantasy team, he is looking solid post trade.

I'm going with...

5. He's a relatively new GM who listened to his star players rather than trust his instincts.

He made a mistake going through with the Westbrook trade, no doubt. The roster they have now is the more balanced roster that is along the lines of what the rosters were like when they won the title and the next year when they were up on the Suns and AD's injury derailed them.

He may have waited a little too long this year, that remains to be seen, but he also left them with at least some kind of assets and maybe a little cap space to do something over the summer.

Does anyone know when KD is supposed to be available to play again?

According to the Arizona Republic, Kevin Durant isn’t expected back from his MCL right sprain until after the All-Star break. The break which begins Thursday is the first checkpoint for when the All-NBA player can return from injury.

Although there isn’t an exact timetable for when Durant will return it seems that he will be back in late February or early march, as that will be two months since he suffered the sprain. When Adrian Wojnarowski reported his injury return date in January, it seemed like he would be out for a month. Considering that it will be twice his expected return date, that late February or early March date feels realistic.

The Suns have two more games until the All-Star Break, against the Kings and Clippers before. It seems like Kevin Durant might be back for the Suns’ first game after the break, against the Bucks on Feb. 24 or shortly thereafter.

Lebron out again tonight

Grant and Nurk out for the Blazers as well. Lakers still stand a chance in a must win game because of that. It's winnable so long as Ham doesn't do something stupid like put Dlo or TBJ on Dame and tell them to go under all the screens...which is a possibility

I can’t even watch Sixers Rockets tonight. They’re supposed to win so the only thing they can do is piss me off and I just can’t take that the day after that heart break yesterday haha.

The sad thing is the rockets need to do this again next year or give their pick to the thunder

Anybody care to wager the Lakers will make the playoffs? Not the play-in, but the actual playoffs.....

You betting they won't clearly. I am saying yes.

I will take this bet.

Cam Johnson is a FA, he walking in the offseason. The Nets will still have a ton of wings under contract, they will be trading some of them in the offseason to try and get better balance.

He’s a RFA

You're lucky - If I watch the Lakers, they can be 15 points ahead and will start losing. They win only if I don't watch them

So that means you don't trust anyone in here either -

 

[thunderc]

Robinson Earl back tonight. Also Thunder are planning on playing Saric, not buying him out.

If you really are a True Lakers Fan, you'll stop watching then.

Solution seems obvious.

Easy win

No Nurk?!?

That's a huge boost for the Lakers. AD is going to have to go for 40 tonight!!

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Let’s go Thunder!!!

Both you guys are just above the Lakers in the standings. I'm happy with either of you guys losing
