Why 16 and 11???
More like 22-5...
We haven't really lost a game since that Boston game
Went from 19-19 to 34-21...
13-2 stretch
5-1 on the road as well
Our only 2 losses was lucky shots...

I see us losing maybe 5 to 6 more games at the most the rest of the season

15-2 stretch, not 13-2.

Boston lost- Also notice that when the game slowed down they pull IT from the game and went with Smart at the point on defense. Just reminding yall that we have the best Point Guard in the east!

50 wins at the beginning of the year would have been amazing...but NOW it would be a disappointment- we better than a 50 win team!

I wouldn't be disappointed with less than 50 wins. It's going to be a rough stretch after the break. Lots of road games. if we 15-12 over that stretch, that's fine. We'd end up with 49 wins and probably the 4th seed.

Stand corrected that's even better...
There are 6 teams with a better record than us
But only 1 of those teams are superior
Last game vs the spurs we lost by 2
Cleveland got lucky
We beat the clippers...
We played Thorton 18min that rockets loss...
We only play 3 tough games the rest of the season
GSW 2x
Cle 1x

6 Semi tough
Tor 3x (only cause ibaka)
Boston 1x (only cause they gon be out for blood)
Jazz 2x (I guess they're a good team)
Don't really consider Atlanta tough nor the clippers...

We should be able to finish the season 1st or 2nd depending on how well the Cavs play without love

Can't believe I'm actually typing this but, for the first time since Wes and Elvin were squeezing into those blue and white short shorts, we are IN THE CONVERSATION.

There are clearly three teams that are better than we are-- but not by leaps and bounds.

Slow down, we're going to lose quite a few more games than that. There's the road stretch of @Phoenix, @Denver, @Sacremento, @Portland and @Minnesota. Beware! It's 4 games in 5 nights (excluding the Minnesota game). Have fun with that. You don't think @Charlotte on the 2nd of a back to back is a relatively difficult game? We haven't had one of those in awhile and we're god awful in back to backs. What about @Clippers on the 2nd of a back to back. CP3 will be back by then. That's not a tough game to you? How about the fact that 15 of our last 21 games are on the road??

We could also factor in potential injuries and resting starters in the last 2 weeks. No way we go 22-5.

Nah we're going to blowout alot of those teams...
We're beating teams with ease...the box score looks close because of our bench but other than that Brooklyn game when morris was out we haven't had any tough games...

We had literally 2 back to backs during this hot stretch. We've been insanely healthy. The All-Star break is a curse in disguise because all that time away will cool off the chemistry.

If a bench magically materializes between now and the deadline, maybe, but otherwise its just asking so much of the starters to run the table on back to backs on the road.

They're playing great, but they're also human.

I disagree wall has been playing with a sprain the all star break will give him time to get back right...
We will also see Beal playing with a vengeance because of the snub...
Gortat get a good breather as well...
Heck even oubre may regain his confidence from the time off...I see this all star break as a good thing..

Its Toronto for our back to backs...if we lose to golden state we come back harder vs toronto if we win we gain even more confidence and wipe them out the gym...

Nah man...im all in on the Wiz. They were 2.5 point favorites today on the road and they CRUSHED the line. Say it again people...the WIZ were favorites on the road against Indy and Paul George wasnt hurt. We are cynical because we are the long sufferin Boulez fans...but there is some magic with this team. Wall and Beal had OFF games at 20/12 and 19 points...and we WON going away. No question we are GOOD boardering on a great team. Beat the teams you are supposed to and we handled the Celtics when it mattered---11 out of 12 guys!

Stop doubting WallStar, the RealBeal, OttoMatic, Kief and the Hammer- KO and Jason the SuperSayian...

What a first half. Give a lot of credit to Brooks. Tremendous. Just need to enhance the bench and add 1-2 players. Another week should help Mahinmi continue to shake the rust off. Just a fun team to watch and hopefully it continues.

They know it. Brooks knows it. Talked about it today on the Junks. Just finding the right match. At least we're looking to trade to get better. Last season, we were trying to desperately make a deal to make the playoffs. Now that player has been playing better than he's ever played.

Always said morris was a great pick up for us...he would be a perfect player to the wall beal porter core...
John wall is the best player maker in league no offense to chris paul...but he's literally the guy you want to make your players better..
With that said...we only need marginal improvement a another shooter/ another playmaker/ another athlete...

Underrated point ballboy, I think that's why people are so against trading out pick, because they are comparing too much to last season. We needed a strarting PF, better coaching, more depth, improvement from wall Beal and Porter .

This year what do we need? Literally just a good bench. That's it. And we have 3/4 pieces IMO. I'm trusting Ernie on this one. LOL what did I just say

In 2017 Kief is taking almost 4 threes a game shooting 41.7%.

Happy to see Morris playing well. We (I) was killing the Wiz org for that move all last year. Happy for him as a player and person that he has found his groove.

NatP4 · Post #240 » by **NatP4** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 1:08 pm

It's crazy, Morris is an all star player now, since December 1st he's averaging 19&8&2 on almost a 50/40/90 split. +/- of 12

He's better than Paul Millsap, probably the 2nd best power forward in the eastern conference.
