    Can't wait.
    As usual I'll be watching for the bullchit phantom fouls on Pascal and the OG when Nurse is forced to switch on him....or vice versa.

      Miami without Butler just dropped a game against the Cavs that they should have won. (Miami was up 19 heading in to the fourth quarter). That's one they're going to look back on and say "if only..." when they look at the standings at the end of the season.

            Clippers are a mess. They messed up by trading 7 (some are swaps) picks, future allstar SGA and Danillo for an injured elite player. If Kawhi leaves in 2 years (assuming they don't win a title) the Clippers will be a joke again.

                Kawhi seems like the type of guy who might just win another title in L.A then just straight up retire if their isnt another situation that excites him. PG was a bad trade but if you account that they dont get Kawhi without the trade then its worth it.

                  It’s only worth it if you win.
                  We already accomplished that part.

                    Maybe. Maybe not. Is SGA, Gallo and those pick ever going to get you as close as Kawhi can? I wouldn't bet on it.
                    If anything the Thunder should be thanking us for repairing kawhi reputation. Comparing what we gave up for kawhi for what clips did we got kawhi for peanuts.

                        Really? They have a top 5 and top 10 player in the prime of their careers on the roster. Barring health issues they should be contenders for the foreseeable future.

                          Big game day! Will be insanely tough even with the rest advantage with Gasol and Powell still out. Still, nice to get a really difficult test after demolishing the Pacers.

                              Made some tweaks to my game by game performance tracker to get the win totals to line up better with pythagorean wins, and it's coming out very nicely now.

                              Total wins predicted so far this season (based on average net rating, opponent net rating, and back-to-back/home-away effects): 41.6, compared to our actual 42. Wins predicted for the year: 58.8 (so a real shot at 60). And tonight's match against the Bucks is pegged at a coin toss (49% chance to win) which is higher than I thought it would be with the Bucks being so insanely good in net rating. Obviously doesn't capture guys being injured, except insofar as the input data for the Raps comes from a sample where a bunch of guys missed some time.

                                Really hoping for an entertaining game. We may lose, and that's okay. But I want a close game not a blow out. They are coming off a back to back that went into O/T but Giannis still got only about 26 minutes since he fouled out. Bud plays 11-12 guys so they are usually well rested.

                                Last time out the first quarter was trash.. and we made it a game but they won wire to wire and then went on a run to seal it. Hopefully we show up in the first quarter like we did against Indiana. But ultimately the key quarter will be the 3rd. That's when adjustments get made.
