Not long ago, it seemed impossible. Now it’s mainly just a far fetched dream, but with each Russell Westbrook three point attempt, Paul George blown finish and Carmelo Anthony failed rotation, somewhere in the distance I hear the roar...

Well the good news is that they shouldn't be too tired for the Denver game even though its on a back to back.
They certainly didn't play with any energy or urgency in the San Antonio game.

If this is the way for Donovan to be fired, I welcome the lottery.

I'm changing the avatar. It's a meme from a Penn State website, but we've compared the PSU basketball program to a flaming bus (basically if it can go wrong it does, and always expect disappointment, we're never good and when we're supposed to be are let down, though this year they were fun and won the NIT and it was a great season). I'm bringing the bus.

What happened to this plan of rest for Carmelo Anthony?

Felt like we played a really good 1st and yet we are only up 1 point.

Does Jokic eat a plate of hot wings before every game? His mouth and nose are always red.

Feels like we played pretty well but still losing. That says a lot.

That’s the best case scenario at this point.

It is the best case scenario, but they are still making the playoffs because we couldn't get lucky enough to ever get the best case scenario out of this team.

Tanking is the act of giving up a match or "throwing it away", losing intentionally or not competing.

We’re not, nor have we ever been tanking.
