The 2nd loss in an at least 4 ga!me losing streak.....just preparing my mind for it. :lol:

don't know about a win, but they'll be awake for this one. they took the thunder lightly like the knicks are a good team or something.

no such thing as a trap game for a team that needs to overachive to be decent.

I can deal with the Ls as long as they play hard, play defense, and the young guys flash potential.

Having said that, I think we bounce back. Thibs won't pull Mitch like he did last game, RJ bounces back like he's shown he can, and Julius gets his shot going early.

We've got some momentum going and losing one game doesn't change that but this is a pivotal moment where we can't piss it away either.

If Phil pulled that off, I would put a put a paper bag over my head, paste a picture of Jeannie on it, poke a hole through the mouth, and give Phil the best BJ he's ever had in his entire life.[/quote]

This game reminds me of Alan Hahn pushing us to trade Shump & Novak for Millsap during the 12/13 season

Going in this game with an L. Jokic is a monster that not even Mitch can handle. Murray is an All-Star and will humiliate Payton. If MPJ was playing he would thoroughly outplay RJ.

same. I don't mind losses b/c I want a good draft pick, I just want the young ones to play well. and in the NBA being a treadmill team is disadventageous

Nuggets got the feeling of a win and Hornets Lamelo and co feeing good. Tough ass games if you ask me. Wish we won that Thunder game.

what's interesting is that 3 of the top 10 two man units are mitch and another starter

mitch and randle are 1st
mitch and payton are 3rd
mitch and rj is 7th

which basically says, as i've said before, mitch is the defense
