With the way we're playing right now, it's too late to tank. Our schedule is full of tankers, so we have a shot at the playoffs. With Zeller coming back and the team finally showing some cohesion, the possibility of Kemba being traded is pretty low imo. I guess we'll see where the team is at closer to the deadline, but as of right now, we are in position to win some more games.

for every late bucket he's hit, there are a dozen WTF possessions

I'd rather to have Jeremy "injury phrone" Lin than Batum in clutch situation.

That means we’ll go 14-23 then. Finish the season 33-49.

We only have 5 games against the top 4 of either conference.

The biggest test will be how we matchup with Indiana, we still play them 4 times, and Philly, play them 4 times.

I’m sorry. I was being sarcastic. It’s the best way to express my feelings about this team without bitching. I think we can get into the playoffs but I’m not holding my breath on those expectations. If there’s one thing this team is good at it’s letting the fans down as soon as they get some hope.

Yeah, I understand completely. It's hard to get your hopes up for a team that always disappoints. There's obviously still a lot of flaws, but there's been a noticeable improvement these last handful of games. That Miami game is going to sting for awhile, but I'll take it if Batum keeps up his decent play.

I didn't watch the 4Q. What in the **** **** ****. No way should it be that close.

Funny thing being that when i checked the boxscore, i saw the 4th quarter score and thought it was because of Cliff playing all the bench...
Otoh, MKG was not playing, and this team will look totally different once he is back (and even more once Cody is if Clifford cuts Howards's mn and bench job for good).

From checking Yosemite's link, it's like only MKG and to a lower extent Lamb are reliable in the 4th among forwards. Even Marvin has pretty meh stats

Its still hard to imagine us winning more than like 18-20 of our remaining 37 games, which still leaves us at least 2-3 games out of the playoffs. We still need to go 22-15 to finish .500.

What are you talking about? MKG has played 38 of 45 games this season and before last night hadn't missed a game since November 7 (about 2.5 months).

We know exactly what the current formula looks like with MKG in the mix.

Yes, we know that he is at least doing what he can to keep the defense honnest.
