Crushing turned into a 4 point win, but a win is a win.

We are 7-4 with five games remaining in this tough 16-game stretch. But just a heads up, in the next 10-game stretch, we have games against Portland (9-23), Detroit (3-30), Charlotte (8-24), Washington (6-26) and San Antonio (5-28).

Or SGA is out.

I believe we’ve won all our games without Ant. I trust our depth more than theirs.

Yes, If we get our act together, we could win 13 of 14 after the tough 16.

Chet is playing a lot stronger in the NBA than in College. I don't know if it's him working on weight training or NBA is less physical.

I predict Ant will miss some more games before the end of the regular season. I predict we will lose one or more of those. Winning all our games without Ant was a Fluke.

I look at score recently and it seems that score are pretty high right now. Which may show that defense is slowing down for almost all the team. For us i'm not surprised, it was impossible to maintain our defense intensity for 82 games, just too much energy. We probably work on physical things during the All Star break. So in january we probably to work as a priority on our offense, flow movement. Difficult for us as we have players offensive limitation specially on the bench, But good teams manage well difficult period and it;s probably we will will seen if we are as good as our number. This month is definitly challenging. Go Minny !

I did, but I kind of was ashamed after multiple trade ideas to trade Towns.

Y'all ever notice how Jokic's team photo looks like a Mug Shot. He looks real creepy. If I knew how to post images here I would, but I don't so I won't.

The Clippers beat the Pelicans who have been good recently, Clips are looking very dangerous all a sudden.
