Anyone notice that we are actually doing pretty okey against top 6 in the west? We are 4-4 against SA, DA, LA, OKC, UT, DE with 5 out of 8 games being on the road? The reason I didn't include Grizzlies and Blazers is because I can't see us finishing in a way that we would end up playing those 2 teams in the playoffs. Considering that we just got better I believe that we're not totally out of the picture this season.

So the roster significantly changed. Do you think we got enough for a push for WC Finals? Or you want to see VC and Gortat first?

"Aaron Gordon will cost Henny's job by Dec 2016." Predicted Dec 2014.

"O'Quinn will have a longer and more successful NBA career than Nicholson." Predicted Jun 2012. Verified on Dec 2014.

I think we can get out the first round with this roster honestly. I think we're definitely a playoff team after this trade.
Steve Nash is the point guard jason kidd wishes he was.

+1.

Get us a decent PF who can rebound and defend while running the PnR satisfactorily, I think we're back to where we were last playoffs. I'm not usually this optimistic so yeah.

How many other PF's are there out that fit those parameters, who are not A: on massively large and long contracts, B: Are not 32+ years old, C: Have not had 5 knee-reconstructions, and D: Are not Amare Stoudemire.

Much easier said than done, but would be great if our F.O could pull off a tarde like that without giving away the farm.

Jason Thompson is one. I didn't say he had to be a stud, just someone who can make the system dangerous.

+4

There aren't many PF out for us to trade for, if there are then their teams are not looking to trading them. Everyone is looking for size, i think we capitalized on Orlando's desperation by getting Gortat.

I think we are good with the current lineup after the trade, no need for more additions. I really optimistic of our chances on landing #4 seed with this lineup. :D
