Was that the flu like symptoms that kept Lou out too?

Basketball Gods trying to help us out hopefully Kev and BG are fine. Bulls and Suns take care of business to keep us right where we left off to start the day. Only the Celtics gained ground on us tonight. But I will take it.

Thank goodness for the Suns and Bulls tonight. Avoided additional insult to injury. Back where we started on Wednesday .

Capela getting punked? He may need to rest that back. Also, I have never seen so many off balanced fadeaways in the middle of the paint, Detroit is really bullying us right now.

What the hell are we doing on offense tonight, this is terrible

Haven't seen long arms and broad shoulders picking up full court since Dennis Schröder

4 straight offensive turnovers.

It's about to be some ugly basketball now that Dunn is in. Not in a bad way either. He is a true disruptor, and junks ups the opposition offense. Its about to be chaos out there lol

When I saw the lineup of Gallo, Clint, Solo, Bogi, and Lou pop up on the tv I was like, damn, it's really about to go down. Nobody in that group was going to beat themselves. The Bucks were in trouble and they didn't even know it.

That's legit. I wish I listened to it. I really hope they are right. At this point I'm just hoping for guys to make it back in time to build some chemistry. But in the meantime, the available bodies are still doing a great job for us.

My scenario is based on the bubble and the fact that the Blazers, Suns, Spurs, Grizzlies we're all within striking distance, but only the Grizz and Blazers got to face off for 1 spot, despite the Suns being the hottest team at that time and having a tied record with the Grizzlies. Why not let them battle it out too.

Nah that was the bubble play in scenario. This year is all about seeding at the end of the year. I think it should be like what you said which would be a hybrid. You can only qualify for the play in if you are within a certain amount of games. My twist would be that it determines the participants both ways. So if 7 is too far ahead then they dont even have to be included in the play in. And if 8-11 are all with 2-3 games of each other then it gets expanded that way, but only for 1 available spot instead of 2. Reward the teams that took care of business and separated themselves from the pack. If no team finishes within striking distance then no need for a play in. This aint little league, everyone doesnt get to participate just because. And you aren't safe just because you backed in .5 games ahead of another team.

Wow, can they at least wait to see how it all shakes out. They may regret this if Luka, Boston, Steph, or any of their other darlings get bounced in a play in scenario.

Solomon Hill probably

Rose, Gibson, Bullock, Thibs Plus Randle is playing out of his mind similar to Butler last year who was always good but like, never THAT guy. Not saying they will make a finals run, but they have the right mixture of talent and toughness that carries teams in the playoffs. We can hang with anyone, but don't sleep on them. That series will be ugly and physical and would take a toll on us even if we came out on top.

Heard, and truth be told, it would be honestly lol

What if he does? Why you being a Debbie Downer lol

We need healthy bodies especially at PG. He is much needed reinforcements for this home stretch while we battle with attrition.

Neither could Cam, but that didn't keep him from playing lol

Just a reminder of who he is

Evil villain laugh Finally, the plan is all coming together, muahahahaha!!

My blood just started flowing if you known what I mean lol

I admit fault lol I don't (at least I think don't) care about being right or wrong, I just want us to win. Im happy to always be wrong if we are winning.

I'm emotionally unavailable, hence why I don't hit the like button often lol But Im working on it.

That's it though, we write off their team the way teams write us off. "Oh just shut down Trae and you can beat them." But they have a lot of strong athletic players that are relentless defensively and straight gamers on offense. Noel block shot at a higher rate than Capela, Bullock is a marksman from 3. Rose is a skilled and crafty lead guard, and just when you figure all that out Quickley comes off the bench and starts hitting outrageously tough shots for them. Knicks are a tough opponent this season. They are fearless and smell blood in the water. They are the 2021 version of the Heat right now.
