Mo has been worth his weight in gold. Sometimes the less-heralded moves end up being the best ones. Cho bet essentially nothing (we don't even keep 2nd round picks most years) and gained a valuable contributor, it was smart management through and through. Dude has always killed it in trades, have we even lost one since he arrived?
Back on-topic, these next three games are huge. I would love to go 2-1, preferably with the loss being to Toronto, that would likely have us sitting in 7th possibly even a couple games ahead of 9th. But really, my hope was for us to at least stay within striking distance of the 8th seed until Kemba got back and we could roll out a full lineup. If we can survive this week and his checkup goes well we should easily be in the race when he returns. That's a win in my book. I think with a healthy roster we have as good a shot as anyone (except Indy with a healthy Paul George, if that actually happens relatively soon) at taking a firm grip on a playoff spot.
