@MS, do you think Thibs tanks if they lose a couple more games? It doesn't seem like him but it makes sense from a futures prospective.

Correct. Booked.

Seeing Wade out for the year
03-16-2017 , 12:56 PM
That's awesome.

[edit] Stache bros, not Wade obviously. Although I have a feeling Wade isn't too sad about being out.

He's not retiring early. He hasn't even transitioned into his draymond green f/c roll yet.

Russell Westbrook deserves MVP for somehow making Enes Kanter likeable

I don't have it recorded. If you can find a post where we did, then sure. I have :

MJW - 100
Rakes - 100
Mullen - 100
Geoff - 200

Draymond on Kerr talking about importance of the 1 seed: "It used to be really important, it's not really important anymore."
well, no ****, but god forbid they rest against the spurs
03-16-2017 , 02:18 PM
It was important until they realized it was unattainable imo.

jwax, if you need to reduce mine bc you forgot about KC that's fine.

Nah, no way. Who's going to tell him to do it?
03-16-2017 , 04:20 PM
Not me, I was hoping they wouldn't. Would like to see them beat up on Portland even if it means they get closer to Denver. Yeah it doesn't seem like a very Thibsian thing to do.
03-16-2017 , 08:09 PM
I think you're safe (and I agree with your implicit premise that we're out of it at this point).

THIBS lives for the late lottery.

Even though Lebron is the best player in the league, Westbrook is going to win the MVP. Pretty much a lock barring injury.

Watch Minny bink the lottery anyway.

Lonzo Ball it up!

Saw it suggested that Minny's improvement coinciding with Lavine's injury is not a fluke. Seems like Lavine and Wiggins were a really bad wing combo defensively, but I don't have a strong opinion otherwise

Well to be fair, technically I said only if they lost a couple games.

Nobody close to Portland is close to out of it, look at Denver's remaining schedule. It's very hard, and they could easily do something crazy like go 4-10 down the stretch.
