    All that matters is winning the Midseason Tournament. The Championship is now irrelevant.

    We had 3 years of being horrible, why do people act like we've been in the gutter for a decade

    By people I mean the media and other nba fans

    We're only 2.5 games behind for the best record in the West.

    The deciding factor will be if the team can win enough games on the road, we’ve seen they can take care of business at Toyota Center :cool:

    Good point, especially when it is hotel hopping and no real practice on the road other than a few shoot arounds and most likely no extensive film sessions too.

    Harden loved to play the Nuggets, Jazz and drop coverages.

    They face them 3 times in 16 days, so I guess they are bound to win at least 1 time.

    Given how good Udoka is with adjustments, it is sth to look forward to.

    They do not play the Nuggets again after November.....which is also bizarre.

    And Jamal Murray is expected to miss all of November. So we have our best shot at stealing a few games right now. I'll be happy if we win 1 out of 3, but would be fantastic to win 2 out of 3 and if they sweep them then I'm getting an Ime Udoka tattoo.

    Because since the very moment Tilman took over, this is the very first time the needle is truly pointing upwards from the previous season.
