Walker making just a shade under 40% on his 3's and Reaves is at 39%.

Not saying we couldn't use another shooter but I was right about those 2.

What about the team winning 49 games?

Did you hit on that one too?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Not gonna lie, I am not necessarily happy about this season but it could have been a lot worse if James had sustained a serious injury at his age and RW wasn't happy about his role on the bench.

We are currently only 3.5 games out of the 6 seed and there are a couple teams currently in the playin who can definitely fall out. So the playin is definitely possible if we can't finish in the top 6.

Still hoping Pelinka pulls off a trade to try and show he is at least trying to make us better.

Conversely, you are also 4 games out of DEAD LAST out West , 4 games below .500 and 5 games from having the worst record in the entire league.

…..and missing the guy who led your resurgence.

But, another issue?

Gonna be tough to gain ground out West when you are 0-6 in your own division and all those teams are ahead of you.

So, yeah….

You definitely need to beat the Kings and beat some of the other Western foes, not named the Spurs.

* That win over Denver was impressive *

OK but remember in the NBA, if you're not in the top 4 seeds you aren't winning anything. The Warriors probably make the playoffs this year but they aren't winning anything either. Lakers are not contenders.

Agree.

But, they should exhaust every reasonable avenue to try to make the post season.

If they miss, giving the Pels a lottery pick would be insult on top of injury.

If the EC could start five Jayson GOATum's the WC would lose the A.S. Game by fifty!

In all seriousness though would love to see one A.S. Game where it's U.S. born players vs. the others.

They will..........eventually lol.

Finishing ahead of the Pels would be ideal.

Two missed free throws from beating the Sixers and Celtics.......means nothing, but so close.

Yeah, in darts and horse shoes.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Finishing ahead of the Pels would be ideal.

For us too.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

They will..........eventually lol.

Depending on how long AD is out, I think you could be closer to 49 loses, than 49 wins….lol

I don’t think his injury is bad.

If it were, why is he traveling with the Team?

11-7 since starting 2-10.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

11-7 since starting 2-10.

…and still 4 games under .500, still 4th worst out West.

Isnt that were you were before the run?

Remember: Lakers aren’t the only team that has improved.

In the last 10, almost every Western Conference team is 4-6 or 5-5.

So, You have gained zero ground.

Actually, that’s not totally factual.

I think you passed OKC.

But, you are a loss tonight away from them passing you as well.

You should be happy that the team was playing better.

But, they can’t gain meaningful ground unless they actually beat the teams ahead of them.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Remember when I said Detroit would be in the lottery for top pick and everyone told me they were fringe playoff team? Pepperidge farms remembers.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

11-7 since starting 2-10.

Now the Nets?

Yeah, they are on a run After starting horrifically.

19-12, 7 games over .500, 4th in the East.

The difference in your team and theirs?

They were underachieving.

The Lakers supporting cast around Bron/Davis are mediocre.

…..I’m going in on y’all right now because I’m PISSED.

I should have listened to @thunderc when he tried to tell me what Davis was doing wasn’t sustainable because of injury.

Instead, in my fantasy league, I traded Lauri Mark and Simons for that gimp motherfucker and Rozier.


FUCK!!!!!

Who knew Cade would miss damn near the whole year?

But, yeah….

Concede.

You were right….lol

We all assumed Casey could still coach. Oops

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Knicks on a League high 8 game winning streak.....but @Pastafazul wants Thibs fired and the roster overhauled.

Wait, I was right about something?
