Yeah, Lebron had to play 42 minutes in a December game on the back to back. He was unable to play the next game a few days later.

But I don't wish injuries on the Bulls or Cavs or Wiz. I want the pleasure of beating them at full strength in the playoffs. If we lose, then we'll know what we have to improve on for next season.


Winning is winning. I rather win against a weaken team than lose to them healthy. We haven't been to the second round in nearly a decade and a half.

Washington and hawks are right on our tails. We need DD back soon.

Man, who would have thought the Hawks would play this well.
I can't wait until we play both of those teams and create some separations with Ws.

I'm not optimistic we'll still be in 1st when 2015 starts.. this upcoming road trip is pretty ridiculous, especially without Demar.

If we go .500 the rest of the year we still win around 47 games. Which is unlikely given the current east so we're looking around 55 games won. That's nice.
Ska needs to make a comeback.

Also a quick mention...25 games into the season and we are already halfway to a play-off spot.

Maintaining the number 1 spot through December isn't as important as regaining it by the time April rolls around.

As long as we're 1 or 2 by the last day of the season, we'll be fine.

Only need 31 wins to get the franchise's first 50 win season. And 34 of the remaining 57 games are against teams currently under .500

I will be even happier if we go out west with a 22-6 record. F Brooklyn tomorrow night on national TV, beat Detroit in front of a Palace crowd made up largely of Toronto fans, and then give the Knicks an ass-whooping.

The Western trip will be tough, but the Raps will be rested, and either during the trip, or more likely as soon as they return in January, Demar will be back in the lineup.
2019 will never be forgotten because FLAGS FLY FOREVER

No. 40% of our current starters (J-Val and T-Ross) needs to man the hell up/figure it out before we hit the playoffs. Hopefully it can happen while DD is out and they're getting more touches. But if it doesn't happen before the trade deadline, then what does Masai do?
