Think they have a better chance in this one than they did vs. Portland, tbh. Abrines will need to be on, PG gotta get that 3 ball going again. Give brewer the weird Ferguson minutes.

Pretty sure Houston circled this one, we lose this in a blowout.

I think they have a better shot than it would appear at first glance. Hopefully Carmelo makes use of his rest. Anderson and Johnson being out at least hurts their depth. Any help against the rockets is more than welcome.

PREDICTION:

Rockets - As many points as they want

Thunder - A lot fewer points than that

This is going to be ugly. How many times do we see Adams guarding CP3 or the Beard on the perimeter? Or Felton against Capela in the paint?

Think Imma try to avoid seeing the score and pretend there's no game.

That's exactly what I'm going to do!

Fortunately, I have a stomach bug so I'll probably be in bed passed out at 8:00 anyway. It's taking all I have right now to keep my eyes open and head up.

I'll check the score and just laugh if OKC somehow wins by 12, which would fit in with this season. I'm more interested in the LAC/Minny game tonight. If LAC wins it could knock OKC down to 9th.

This team is hell bent on driving me insane so naturally we're going to win tonight and lose the next four.

Seriously though I really hope we don't recognize Melo posted on PJ Tucker as a "mismatch" that he should attack.

I think Denver has to win too though I'm not even sure any more. Might find a new Netflix show.

Denver has Dallas. I'm assuming Dallas can lose that one. Denver doesn't have the trouble beating tanking teams that OKC does.

It's incredible how dumb this team is. They keep switching until they get Carmelo, and they fall for it every time. Also, Russell is wreckless as hell. His turnovers are momentum shifters. How the hell do you keep turning it over after timeouts?

NaturalThunder · Post #15 » by **NaturalThunder** » Wed Mar 7, 2018 2:56 am

Remember when we could at least beat good teams? The last three times we've played the Cavs, Warriors, and Rockets we've lost and we've lost convincingly (barring a comeback tonight).

And when we play bad teams we're having to work miracles and comebacks to win narrow games.

Predictable bloodbath.

We're not making the playoffs. George will leave this summer but, hopefully/thankfully, Donovan will finally be fired. He's so much worse of a coach than Scott Brooks. No way in hell this team would under-perform this terribly if Scott Brooks was still our coach.
