    Haha, check my previous post to explain my stance. I'm more terrified with might get embarrassed then the standings at this point. Clips are only 2 games back and we play them Wednesday...drama builds.

    first time in a long time I have no urge to watch the game

    unless T-Will and/or PPat are getting major minutes, there's nothing of interest

    8th seed better than no seed..it lets the players and the organization walk away knowing at least they had a chance..plenty of teams dont even get that

    I refuse to give up on this season. I hate hearing talk about tanking. We have some of the best players in the league when it comes to hustle. I love our players that work hard no matter the circumstance (Lowry, Chuck, Shane, K-Mart). Keep it up. Lets start that winning streak tonight. We're only 5 games out with a lot of games left. Our schedule gets better after this month.

    Since they called Ish up I wonder if he will play tonight? And if so is AB still suffering from his injury?

    Ish will most likely still be inactive. They probably just brought him up to get in a few practices that they will be having this week. More than likely, in two or three weeks he could be playing a much larger role off the bench, and they want to get him some more practice time and see him play with different sets of people.

    Either way, he is getting called up to prep for the Febuary trade when he will either be on his way to another team or will have a featured role on the team.

    -AB has looked healthy the past couple games, his game just seems to be off at moments coming off the bench.

    They called up Ish because Jared Jeffries got hurt, which opened up a spot on the active list. There's no reason to leave that spot open when you've got a guy in the D-League that can fill it, and he doesn't play for another 5 days or so.

    He most likely won't play much, if at all... he's just there to fill a spot.

    Could we get a poll set up on this thread?

    Over/under 19.5 rebounds for Kevin Love.

    Love destroys our pitiful excuse for a front line on the boards and we lose in a close one.

    Now the loses aren't even surprising any more
