Nice 13 - 15 games won. Gotta win these games against scrub teams, it's the difference come end of the season.

Can't believe we can talk about potential playoff seeding come seasons end. it seems like the last 15 years, we are lucky enough to just make the playoffs.

Keep the foot down and keep winning, hopefully we can start to rest our starters more. Disappointed with the bench effort in this game though.

It's funny, all my smart arse friends are very quiet about basketball at the moment. Maybe because their beloved teams, suck so badly right now.

I'm noticing the same thing. It's hard for a lot of people to talk right now considering the Rockets success!

You're spot on about the bench, tho. We need those guys to step things up way better than they have recently.

Yea, same here its like what happened to all my loud mouth friends who have been trash my team for years.
One of the best part of this season

I am also enjoying the irrational hatred/bitterness coming from anonymous fans.

But I'm weird like that!

Turn it over more if that's possible.

Yep, apparently it is.

I'm a smidge disappointed with our record right now, tbh. We have 42 wins, on schedule for about 56-57 linearly (no adj for schedule difficulty), but I had expected 55 to be an absolute low end for us recordwise while expecting 60-62 wins (we'd be 46-15).

Yeah, that's only 4 games under expectations, and it was based on no injuries, and we have lost 6 games of Parsons, 50+ of Smith, 8 Haren, 10 Lin, 33 Asik, 18 The Captain, 4 Casspi, all while getting the team acclimated together...

Ok, maybe it's not so bad, but I'm still a smidge disappointed anyway.

On the other hand..
[calculations pending]

Also, I'm more disappointed that between having AT&T and not having much time, I've only been able to see no more than 20 games this season.

At least someone [unnamed due to somewhat silly but understandable due to legal idiocy site policy] tossed me a viable link to watch games on or it would've been like 3.
