Better off doing what we can staying the 6 seed and avoiding Houston. At this point, not even sure we get past Portland. I think we will finish with 46-47 wins.

My initial reaction to seeing this thread was 'Ugh, they're playing again?'.

Please win, for a change.

It's a midnight start for me. I'm seriously considering just watching the game tomorrow morning, because I fear I'll once agains stay up till like 3am, fuming over a terrible loss. :banghead:

Westbrook is still not bothering to defend the 3-pt line and Anthony is still not thinking of passing to the guy under the rim during fast breaks. Not much has changed for the mentality but the talent gap is so huge these kind of things always get swept under the rug.

The Pelicans commentators are pissed that Melo got in foul trouble because they said they want him on the court as it’s better for the Pelicans...can’t make this stuff up :lol:

The low-keyness of Badbrick Badderson sometimes make me appreciate Melo's shooting insticts. If only there was a way to curb Melo's and encourage 2Pat's a bit.

Watching Westbrook shoot just pisses me off.

I actually think he's looking for the plays for the rest of the team to much. It works so far... Very nervous game

Interesting rotations thus far. Glad to see PG get cooking. It's still concerning that once we've decided that Melo should get a post touch that we feed him no matter what. Results of that have been spotty at best. Wonder if we've officially seen the last of Huestis in a Thunder uniform.
