Probably end up in the top 8 but with that Dallas loss and rockets win at NJ I think Rox moved up to the 7th. Where do you think they'll end up?
Minny is out of it since Rubio is out, you dont think Rox can finish ahead of borderline teams like PHX, POR and UTA with roster as currently constructed?
Making the playoffs itself will be be tough. Minny, Utah, Blazers, and Suns are still in it. Minny and Blazers look like they're headed for a season's end crash. Utah could go either way. Suns are hot right now.
I still think they'll end up with the sixth. Minus the toronto game, they played close in those games they lost. Just a comedy of errors.
Ask me in 5 days. All I can say is it's likely the final two playoff spots will come down to the last day of the season.
ask this question again after the trade deadline...who knows we might be tanking just depends on the direction we trade
We can make number 7-8 with our current roster if we meet the following conditions; -If Lowry, Martin, Scola, Dalembert all find consistency. -All 2009ers must go.
All 2009ers? I can see Thabeet (2), Flynn (6) and Williams (11). However, I am not so sure we should part with Hill (8), Llull (34) and Budinger (44).
Well one thing is certain: we are not standing pat. We will make some moves. I assume at least 4 of our players are on the go. With that being said, it is nearly impossible to tell. Morey IS willing to go all in. I assume he attempts that first. I don't see Scola, Martin, Dragic, Thabeet, TWill here by the deadline. If it's a big trade, I don't see Lowry, M. Morris, Bud, and Martin here by the deadline. It's just impossible to tell by now, but in a couple of dayse will be a very active forum.
The West is ridiculously tough a couple of stretch of loses can put an end to your playoff chances so without Lowry I dont see us winning games and staying in the top 8 for the duration Lowry is out
You guys think Rox can hold off PHX for that 8th spot? Also when Kyle returns is he the starter or Dragic remains?
Good god, with PHX coming on, there's a chance we barely miss the playoffs again. This can't keep happening, can it?
We have a better schedule than Phoenix and I think we are better than them with a healthy team. Yesterday was just a team running on fumes. Dragic can't play 40 plus minutes a game and play at a high level. IWe do need a better back up point and Camby has to get better acclimated with his role. Not shooting 15 foot jumpers. Morey seems to think we need 35 wins to make the playoffs. Thats 11 more wins. We do have to play Dallas 3 more times twice in Dallas and we have Chicagom Miami and the Lakers at home but the rest of our games are winnable.
if we want to make the playoffs...we need Kyle Lowry back, and we need Kevin Martin to stay on the bench.
