so who's watching this?

seriously though, we're only a game out of 8th place. the heat play next @ boston so playoffs is still somewhat of a reality.

i'm probably going to start watching with march madness being my backup option if the team has given up.

go pistons!

I'll be watching hoping for a loss. Pistons need to get down to that 10th pick where they can get a good PG.

Safe to say the next two are must wins if we want to make the playoffs... it just gets harder from here. If we lose tonight we might as well just bench anyone older than 25 for the rest of the season and let stanley play 30 minutes a night.

Surely the herd has been thinned? Regardless of point of view, the regular folks around here now are fans. ;-)

I've arrived at my dispassionate 'let's see what happens next' place.

Nah, don't bother trying tonight. The last two were our final nails.

But do play the young guys so we can either get more demoralized knowing that they have no part in our future or have hope for the future if they show good flashes.

It seems like the difference between winning and losing often seems to fall on the production from Marcus Morris. I felt like whenever we win, he's hot, and whenever we lose, he's been ice cold, so I decided to look up the stats.

Turns out that there actually is a clear distinction in his stats.

In wins

15.8 ppg, 5.6 rebs, 2.4 asts, 45% fg, 37% 3pt - 34 mins

In losses

12.6 ppg, 3.9 rebs, 1.8 asts, 38% fg, 28% 3pt - 32 mins

the team hasn't quit in terms of effort this game, the offense is just struggling imo

I was just about to come here and say seems Mook been cold all year.

I think if you look up stats on KCP it's probably about the same too.
