    Pretty much the goal is to just make the playoffs at this point. We won't be a high seed. Just make playoffs and hope the matchups are good. Not a guarantee we make it, given how often we've blown games to bad teams, but that's the goal at this point.

    Rockets need to sign Willie Reed. I don't understand why he still in g-league. He is the best available alternative for Capela for sure.

    I'd have no problem with the rockets getting in at the 7th or 8th seed healthy. Hou is a terrible matchup for denver and well Hou would eventually see GS anyways at some point in the playoffs

    Ideally i think we should shoot for the 4th seed and hope Denver gets number 1 and GS gets number 2 and OKC gets number 3. That would be excellent.

    I am not sure why Dallas would do this, they are not too far off from making the playoffs themselves and I do not know what sort of protection their pick has at the moment from the Luka trade but my guess is that they would prefer to make the playoffs and give up a pick in the teens versus giving a top 10 pick by trading away Jordan. It also could be Dirk's last season so I am sure Cuban will want to try to make the playoffs for him.

    The Rockets best bet was probably Chandler earlier this season but now looking at one of the lower eastern conference teams for a big man. The Cavs have Tristan but I dont think anyone wants to deal with that contract though his rebounding and vertical threat ability is similar to Capela's. They may be the only team willing to swap out for a single FRP if we send Knight and Chriss. I just hate having to take on that horrible contract of Thompson. Though it is expiring next season like Knight.

    NOOOO! Last time we had an injury announcement, it was quickly followed by the acquisition of someone we absolutely hated.

    I sense Zaza Pachulia in our near future.

    McGee for Melo would be nice. But if willie Reed is available we should definitely sign him. We have a roster spot and he is decent and can jump


    Harden played like you know and every pass was bad and he kept shooting 3s which I hate when he kept shooting and he isn’t having a good day. After shooting 12 he should have stopped and drive in or shoot 2s. But he couldn’t make any shots. I think he was hangover from partying.
    We can’t rely on just having Hartestein we will be losing a lot of games and Nene needs some rest too.

    This injury would not qualify for a Disabled Player Exception, since Capela is expected to return during this season.

    Cyberx, cod, somebody please tell us we are working on something. We can't expect Nene to play starters minutes.
