LOL, I was thinking the same thing, but it'll probably take a week or two for the prices to dip :wink:

This is a must win game IMO. After this game they have a back to back on the road against Milwaukee and Indiana. I think that the Bucks will run them off the floor in Milwaukee, and the Pacers game is a likely L since this team plays much worse on the 2nd night of a back to back. That would put their record at 16-21.

I think we're past the "must-win" stuff :lol:

Everytime we go the "must-win" route, we get blown out (Nuggets, Pelicans) :D

Lol, I'm just saying. There's not a good vibe around the team right now, and if they lose this one then they'll be on a 5 game losing streak heading into that road back to back. The chances are pretty high that they go 0-2 on that 2 game road trip so that would make it a 7 game losing streak. At that point, the season would be a wrap for me...I think that things would just continue to spiral downwards from there.

The writing is on the wall. Everyone is trying and Melo is calling his own number. Hornaceck just walked off waving his hand at the play. Noah says "we're all over the place" while Melo says "we're all on the same page" - now who you believe (*Ed Lover "C'mon Son" Face*)? Dudes saying they didn't sign with the team for this. Writing is already on the wall. You just gotta read it.

Yeah, I agree. If they lose this game then a 7 game losing streak is inevitable IMO. They then play the Pelicans at home and that game is certainly no guarantee, so an 8 game losing streak is definitely possible. If that happens, we might start seeing some changes and guys get put on the trading block. Maybe Phil will begin to scrap this experiment.

If Lee, the only guy playing D, who signed as a FA to be part of a winning culture, is the one saying he "didn't sign here for this"... then Melo and Phil have to go. Those 2 seem like they don't care one way or another what anyone thinks. This is a joke and an even bigger stain on this garbage organization to have duped a quality player who could have played on a contender to deal with this selfish, diva, baby $#it.
