LFG! Three games in the next four days vs Hornet, Magic, and Wizards. All very winnable (Orlando on a 2-8 streak). If we win these, we're at 25-26 heading to Boston before the all-star break. Here's to being 26-26 coming out of the Rodeo Road Trip. If we hit this mark, we'll darn near have the play-in locked in.
Can't wait to see how Wemby performs in his first playoff series (or play-in game).
2018-2019 or 2019-2020?
Only problem is they dont play 21 year old wemby on bac to back which is stupid.
Agreed but the constant trade rumors and then the total lack of positive changes has to hurt morale in that locker room.
I expect them to play a little worse from here on out compared to what they have done so far.
Suns have the most difficult schedule and are a dysfunctional team.
KD won't care much if they'll make the playoffs since they're not getting anywhere this year.
Spurs play the Suns two more times. Win those games and we'll surely finish above them.
Let’s fking go. So many teams and players I’d love to send home packing in that playoff seeding quest. How did Jimmy Butler go from workhorse and culture guy to being an absolute FASSI.
It'll be interesting to watch what happens to Dallas. A starting five of Kyrie, Klay, PJ, AD, and Gafford, with a bench of Christie, Exum, Dinwiddie, and Naji Marshall is a very solid team, and Lively will likely be back before the last month of the season. I think these guys will be playing with a major chip on their shoulder, as they did last night beating the Celtics. The trade hurt them long term no doubt, but right now they're a pretty good team.
sheesh you just made me look that up. It was in the 2018/19 season. from Feb 27, 2019 to March 18, 2019 we had a 9 game winning streak. That's the last time we won 5 in a row in the past 6(!!!!!!) years.
Only Popovich the GOAT can accomplish that
Yes they do. He's missed three back to back games this season:
Nov 16 v DAL (when he was legitimately injured the night before and missed the next 3 games)
Dec 6 v SAC (when he was legitimately injured and missed the game before also)
Nov 1 v MIA (when he was sick, and is still clearly sick)
He played in all our other B2B games on 10/31, 11/7, 11/27, and 1/4
Too retro, though with Lively II out a while, they can get to more modern lineups. The problem is, either way the lack of shot creation/play making will do them in.
As much as I dislike the Mavericks and Thompson, I wouldn't mind seeing them do well because of the undue disrespect towards Davis.
Even though he was the best player in the '20 playoffs, this is his chance to both prove he can still play his preferred 4 and be the clear best player on a contender.
Spurs still have too many holes in their lineup to have too much confidence in their making the play-in. Vassell is one of the worst starters in the league and gets crazy usage for such a bad players. Barnes is just average — nice to have him as a veteran, but let’s be real. Keldon Johnson is one of the dozen or so worst players in the league receiving consistent minutes and somehow makes the players around him worse. Sochan is a non-shooter. Champagnie is a nice story, but still just average. They don’t have a backup center.
When they’ve stacked the lineup to where Johnson and Vassell don’t have roles anymore, that will be the indicator that they have arrived. Not yet.
Yeah great ing start losing to a now 13 win team
Can’t lose games like that if you want to compete for the play in
We're now 1-3 in February.
We need to come out of this month with 8 games to go. We need to at least go 7-5 in February (but probably 8-4) to stay in contention for the play in. With that said, I'll be happy with just a compe ive push down the stretch to make it like the Rockets had last year. End the season with positive momentum, have a good offseason, and come back next year like the Rockets this year.
This is as over as the ROY race
Ya let’s lock this thread, we ain’t sniffing play in if we can’t beat the in hornets lmao
Honestly, I don't care if we make the play-in at this point. Yeah, it'd be nice, but at the very least these last couple of weeks have shown me all I need to see:
1. Spurs got Fox
2. Castle's the real deal, his synergy with Fox can be awesome, and he has the work ethic and touch to improve his shooting
3. Brian Wright may or may not be a fantastic GM, but he's comfortably above average
That's it, that's all I need to see for the rest of the season, it's a strong enough base to build on for the next several years. Keldon is bad, but he would've been traded for Fox if Dejounte hadn't torn his Achilles, so it shows that Wright recognizes he needs to go. The only question is whether Wright also recognizes that Vassell doesn't fit on this team at 27 million a year and can get decent value for him in the offseason - ideally picks and/or high level role players.
At this point it's clearly better if we don't qualify. Not sure if being embarrassed with this roster would be a great experienced for Wemby (and us).
