Oh my gosh, that's great news! Now, we can make a push for the Chip! Way to step up.
It is 16 games, guys. What did you expect?
I was just kidding. :D

This is not good considering out schedule from here:
New Orleans
@Houston
Dallas
Sacremento
Portland
OKC
@Portland
@Golden State
Utah
@Atlanta
@Dallas
@New Orleans
@San Antonio
LA Clippers

That's brutal. We'll only be favourites against the Kings and maybe Utah.

We may not beat another +.500 team for the rest of the season. The lack of ball movement is appalling. The Knicks even moved the ball better tonight. We only won because our players are that much better. We actually moved the ball well for three quarters against the Hawks so that was encouraging.

I agree. We may start slight favourites with the bookies because it's at home,but they are definitely playing much better than us.

If things go badly - and all the good teams we play have something to play for in terms of playoff positioning when they play us - we could lose out from here. Although the Kings are quite dysfunctional and we're always a chance to play a random good game against a good team.
My best bet is something like 2-12 or 3-11

Yea, would've been great battling for an 8 seed with Dragic, Green, PJ the Morris idiots and an injured Len. Then we could've re-upped a 29 year old PG who may or may not have wanted to be here in the first place and really made a run at a title.

I'll give it more than 30 games. This team's issues go way beyond Bledsoe.

Making the playoffs in the west is an accomplishment. and dallas almost toppled the defending champs last season in the first round. you forgot to mention IT. he could have been the x factor off the bench.

Utah currently up 51-21 (not a misprint) over Charlotte, who are well in the race for a playoff spot in the east.

So we're into just accomplishments now? That's the goal?

I really like IT but he wasn't a good fit here.

the goal is to improve this year, not to win the championship (although it would be nice if it did happen).

would have worked with dragic green as starters and IT as 6th man.
