We're in 7th spot, and Atlanta is 6th, so this win would be SO great.. 6th spot sounds nice. No play-in.
C'mon Langdon. I know you're reading this. Win now. Get a backup pg! Fck the future. Phoenix just traded a 2031 1st rounder.

I gotta be honest, I'm actually really enjoying Beasley's personality. I'm sure its super annoying for other teams, but I love him doing his lil shimmy after making a 3. Dude just out there living his best life, having fun and putting positive energy out there. Maybe I'm crazy... but he's gotta be my #1 priority in the off-season. Lock this dude up.

I agree 100%... There's a LOT of things statistics don't take account for - such as the person...

100%. especially because if it comes down to seeding at the end of the season it'd help with the tie-breaker, and we're already 1-0 against them.

This current five game road trip is a massive test for this team as we're playing three teams that we'll be in a dog fight with for position moving forward in Atlanta, Orlando and Indiana. All five teams being above .500 means going 3-2 on this trip would be great for us.
@ Houston(28-13) W
@ Atlanta (22-20)
@ Orlando (23-22)
@ Cleveland (36-6)
@ Indiana (24-19)

It's imperative to get one of the next two against teams that they'll be battling with for position, although I think Orlando will pull away once Franz is back. I think a 2-3 road trip would be acceptable, 3-2 would be a massive W

The game in NO was canceled.. I really, really hope they don't cancel tonight's game in Atlanta.

Because of snow? It's looking like 1 to 2 inches I know lots of people there don't know how to drive in snow but it seems crazy to think they'd cancel a sporting event for 1 to 2 inches of snow.

Yup, snowstorms. And I know someone in Atlanta who mentioned having storms. I had a friend from Michigan live in Atlanta, and she laughed over how the entire city would close after 1-2 inches.. She told me the reason why. I think it had something to do with their roads, or just not being equipped to handle it. And then there's the human element. Probably a business decision if they don't think many will show up.
Meanwhile in Michigan.....

When i lived in Salt Lake one or two inches of snow in the valleys and its a veritable rodeo of hauling Cali cars out of median and ditches. Pretty funny stuff.

I drove through Utah at dark and saw "Beware of Falling Rock".. I guess some snow could cause cars to swerve off a cliff, unless I'm imagining this. I had been up 18 hours driving and didn't stop until Carson City. Oh man..

Whatever the amount, it was the largest snowfall New Orleans has had in 130 years. And the first snowfall of any kind in 15 years.
Yeah, they're cancelling everything.
Atlanta should be fine, though.

It's not snow...it's turned to sheet of ice so no traction.

We actually play Haws 3 more times including tonight.....
I remember Cade with the clutch block at the end of the game. That was a great win.

Curious to watch the Dyson/Cade matchup.
