    I can EASILY see them slipping to 7/8th. Finishing 8th is essentially the same as not making the playoffs. If I told you in December we would be sitting 5th in mid February would you have not dismissed that notion yet here we are?
    Yes. Do you expect Pat and DD to miss the rest of the season, and Ibaka not to play for the Raptors? Because those are the circumstances that led to where we are now.

    This is crazy talk.

      Agreed. I honestly think not having a true starting calibre PF like Serge and having Patterson and Demar out is a big reason for our issues. Because it forces us to play rookies and a guy like Bebe who doesn't have much experience way more minutes than we should. It also causes Casey to play stupid lineups night in and night out. Having all three playing will improve all of that which should hopefully get us back to our winning ways. But we shall see. Only time will tell. I definitely don't see us not making the playoffs though. I'm pretty negative and even I think that's crazy talk lol.
      I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

        Sorry dan, but these are starting to feel a lot like lame excuses. Of course we're not gonna miss the playoffs, but this recent slide has been pathetic, pat or no pat

          Ya, the problem is greater than rotations and play calling. Something's wrong with the team's psyche. Any confidence we had from last year's playoffs, or even this year's start, is utterly vanished. We're no longer entering games expecting to win.

          Where's Dr. Phil when you need him?

            Alright. Don't be shocked when the team suddenly plays well again when it has a full complement of players.

                We're 7 games up on 9th place Milwaukee. That's a huge gap to lose in 26 games.

                We're 9-17 (.346) since December 28th. Even at this shitty pace, we'll win 9 more games, bringing us to 41 wins. Can't see us missing the playoffs with 41 wins.

                It's mathematically possible to miss the playoffs, but not likely.
                Wow, that really makes one completely forget about the hot start. This team needs an extended winning streak to help me forget that shitty stretch.

                  We have lost to teams EVEN if missing key players we SHOULD beat. It seems team has given up on DC. I hope you are right but I am skeptical. Something is seriously wrong. Finishing 4/5th means Cleveland if get past second round. Finishing 6/7th may be preferable. Don't be surprised to see a slide to 7th.

                    Looks like our stars forgot that this team is struggling.

                        Seems a little ridiculous that they need another day off

                        That said, did you choose this thread because you think we miss the playoffs now??

                            Hey man after that epic skills comp and all star clinic the two put on almost a week ago, they might have to sit out tomorrow's game too. That looked exhausting

                              Nah, there's no game thread for tomorrow so I had to put it somewhere
