I am out of town how is the game going??

Hahaha

[BIGH2001]

Seriously I don't care how well cleveland is playing, a pro team should never lose to another pro team by 50 points. Someone needs to be fired for this performance.

[bLACKpANTHER]

If you turned it off after the 1st qtr like me, the 40pt loss isn't that bad. No matter if you win by 40 or lose by 40 - it only counts as one L or W. We can balance this 40pt loss with even a 1pt win against the Knicks.

With as bad as we have played the first half of the season, we are half a game out of the playoffs.

The problem is unlike last year there are better teams in Miami, Brooklyn and Detroit fighting for the 8th spot, and as well as the defense played until this game it was masking what was some terrible offense.

Those bad losses during that start might be too much to overcome.

Competing for the 8th seed that nobody seems to want in a weak East. If this is all we can muster, will we at least not have to see Clifford's team get swept again while he looks completely befuddled about what is going on around him?

[bLACKpANTHER]

i see us playing much better after the allstar break and probably hoping over Nets, Heat and Bucks.. getting the #5 seed.. Detroit is the only team behind us im mildly concerned about. you look at the past 10 games played of all the teams i mentioned -

 

CHA - 8-2

DET - 7-3

MIA - 5-5

MIL - 5-5

BRK - 2-8

Brooklyn is most likely going to slip out. They've been playing atrocious basketball.

Also, if we would've just beaten the damn Celtics we would've been the 5 seed last season. We were the 7 instead, and got a terrible matchup.

To get the 5th seed we'd have the jump Cleveland.

[bLACKpANTHER]

Cleveland will be in the #1-#3 seed by the end of the year.. i think Toronto or Chicago could fall out of top 4 and we could catch them. but now with the Kemba news- i dont know if we can get anywhere above #7 or #8 at this point

There's no way Toronto falls out of the top 4 unless you think Brooklyn or Boston passes them up. Division winner is 4th at worst.

i honestly goofed up on my original statement and was trying to back it up..

i said we could be #5 seed = wrong.. i shuda said 6th

 

I don't see Atlanta, Washington, Toronto or Cleveland falling out of the top 4 - I do see Chicago slipping to 5 and possibly a collapse that lets us sneak into the 5th seed, but highly doubt it.. and hopefully we get good news today on Kemba
