haha, you're absolutely right, fats. We are tied with the Hornets for the easiest schedule so far.

Either way, we already saw this guys once and there's no reason why we shouldn't beat them again.

let's continue the trend of beating sub .500 teams. currently 7-1.

This isn't even a conversation. If we can't beat the Celtics we might as well tank. Jefferson should destroy Faverani tomorrow, and we should play an overall dominating game. It would be nice to see Clifford ease Biz back into action against the Celtics as I don't see this one being very competitive. Let's get 8-7!

is the curse of 7 wins still alive? the past two years we have gone on massive losing streaks after getting our 7th win of the season.

we should win but it wont mean much, we are just establishing ourselves as the "best" bad team

My biggest wish is that Big Al stays healthy.
Celtics - very beatable. With schedule going to get hard, Cats need to win games like this. That dismantling of the Bucks makes me optimistic, but with team young as Cats, you'd never know.
Pay attention to Phil Pressey - that kid maybe lacks inches, but is a natural playmaker. He usually has much better +/- than Celtics' starting PG Avery Bradley. Suprisingly good defender, given his physiqe. Very intelligent kid, natural passer. I'd like to see him as Kemba's backup, a complement, with Kemba being primarily a scorer, while this kid would be kinda of a distributor, facilitator. He's got eyes on his back, I'm telling ya

Really like his playing style.

along the lines of our success against sub .500 teams, we're 0-3 against the West and 7-4 against the East. **** will hit the fan when we head out west. The East is 17-39 against the West.

the West is stupidly good every team besides the Jazz and maybe Suns would be in contention for at least the 8th seed in East

So, Cats please win this one and make our lives easier :lol:

I suppose some losing streaks lay ahead, and draft 2014 is still too far away, for our wounds to get healed. I know Cats are not gonna win too much this year, but games like destroying Bucks, or beating NYK in MSG, make me believe.

how can you call out the Suns and forget the Kings? Suns will soon realize they're bad and drop off, but so far they've been very good. They have the sixth best defense in the league.

the Kings have Cousins that is the only reason, the Suns dont have any all-stars

I think there's plenty of evidence that the Kings couldn't be in contention for the 8th seed, even with DMC.

I was shocked to see tonight that even at 5-8 the Pistons are the 8th seed in the East. It's really pathetic to see the comparison between the conferences. To be clear, the Lakers are the 6-7 and hold the 13th seed in the West. I hate to see what the East looks like now that the Bulls look weaker and weaker, the Hawks might somehow pull a 3 seed. Miami is going to cake walk to the Finals if that is the case.

this could do wonders for Wade if he is banged up come playoff time and can be 50% of himself the first two rounds.

He does that anyway during the regular season. He takes off the nights where the Heat play less than the leagues best just because he knows he can. He does this against the Bobcats and that kind of arrogance just irks me :wavefinger:

Theres no reason to NOT give big minutes to Biz and MKG.
Biz can get some confidence against some subpar competition. Just feed him in the post early and let him be aggressive.
If MKG can keep green semi quiet then the game should be done. Let MKG let loose with some drives and jumpers too. Thats all I wanna see.

whoops, edit

Beat Boston.

Biz needs to play tonight. Even he could probably light up Olynyk.

I feel like if we win tonight that we'll stick around .500 throughout the majority of the season. If we lose tonight then I think we'll sank to the bottom of the standings like last year, just without the 10+ game losing streaks.

But I'm sure we should win tonight with a healthier Jefferson.
