They're on a back to back without Lowry. If we don't win this one there's no point in winning another game this season.

This game is being played on ESPN in Australia, which is actually a bad thing, because I can't remember the last time we won a game on ESPN Aus. I'm talking literally like the last 8 games we've played on it (including getting swept by the cavs), so I'm predicting we lose this one.
Really hope I'm wrong though, this could be a big win.

If we lose we'll be 3 games under .500 with 13 games to go. We also will lose our 8 spot to the Heat. Big game tonight if we want a legit chance at the playoffs.

holy crap, i saw the zach lowe tweet about how much influence the raps have over the last playoff spots in the east but it never really struck me until i looked at their remaining schedule.
8 of their last 14 games are against us (twice), pacers x3, heat x2 and bulls x1. they play each team in their next four games.

here's to hoping the raps get their stuff together (they had a players-only meeting after last night's loss) but we can still beat them twice. bit of luck for us - both games are at home and are the last two back-to-backs for them, so hopefully they're fresh for all the games against our playoff rivals.

Win this one and our next 3 games are against Phoenix, Brooklyn and Chicago. Good opportunity to get a couple games over .500. Or lose and improve our draft position, I don't care either way.

It's a matter of time that KCP-Stanley-Harris are in the lineup permanently and allow Morris to be the sixth man which he could excel at. The problem are our defensive holes in the PG and the center spot.

Stanley sure hasn't played like he wants a starting spot. He's too physically gifted to have a bunch of games where he scores 2 points and doesn't rebound.

Was hoping for the playoffs but now back on the tank train.
Don't want to face Cleveland. Would rather grab a better pick and hopefully make some moves in the offseason.

Love watching this team look like crap late in the season when every game is huge, so much effort and energy out there..

if that scrub Corey Joseph wants to play full court defense to start the game, just burn him.
Make him expend his energy
