Last time we made em go get Melo. This time lets make em trade for love. Lets get it!

Lowry is the only one out there who can take a pull-up jumper

[KeonClark]

What? How had tim Duncan or Robinson never done that? Weird. Good for demar though!

At least we can put RHJ on lillard. He was really good on him in the 1st matchup

[bertarapsfan]

Last 3 games, McCaw from 3: 1-2, 1-4, 0-1.

Grading on a curve? The expectations for McCaw are lower than rookie Bruno at this point, it seems.

10-22 on corner 3s. That seems to be the only spot he has been pretty reliable getting a bucket. We're going to need him to hit 2 or 3 of those tonight

[golden]

Non shooter filling in for FVV. Gotta hope McCaw can hit those corner 3s. He actually been pretty good at them lately

Good little test for our undermanned squad at home, as Portland isn't terrible. I think Thomas is back, and maybe Stanley chased off the 'yips' with his one game stint with the 905.

Each of those teams has drafted "their guy" (Fox, Booker, Towns, etc) already too, a few years ago. Those cores should be ready. And the 8th seed as I said is awful right now, it's RIGHT THERE for the taking, but each of these teams is refusing to take it. If it ends up with Pop and Demar, they should all be ashamed that they blew it that bad.

I just didn't realize that It was that bad in Sacramento and Minny. Embarrassing records of futility

[KeonClark]

Wow. Since the end of the 03-04 season, Minny has made the playoffs once. Phoenix has not made the playoffs since the end of the 09-10 season. Kings have not made it since the end of the 05-06 season.

Even putting aside the title, doesn't sound so bad to be a Raps fan does it?

The race for 8th in the West is pretty pathetic, for the first time I can ever remember. Blazers are 15-22 but only a game out. Right now, Spurs, Griz, Blazers and T Wolves, Suns and Kings are all within 2 games.

Kind of interesting, cause when you look at most of those teams they're kind of in the same boat. They have to be dissapointed (Spurs, Blazers, T Wolves, Suns, Kings) are either too talented, or not at a rebuilding stage to miss the playoffs, or are just plain sick of missing the playoffs.
