[Shad]

I'll be the first to burst everyones bubble. WE lose!

 

[Sneakers]

An actual thread about the basketball team I love playing basketball. We can still make the playoffs and I'm looking forward to seeing this team circle the wagons and come together. This year could still be a lot of fun to watch.

Sam Adams?

Favors will go for 20 and 15 in his debut. This board will be nuts and forget all about Dwill. We still lose the game by 15, but no one will care.

I'll watch the game. Hope for the best.

Last report I heard was that they would be with the team on Friday. Lets hope to play.

They are in Indiana and went to practice with the Jazz tonight at Butler University.

Maybe Hayward will rediscover his game... stuck behind the bleachers there, or someplace in the vicinity.

Indiana has been playing well recently. I'll be surprised if we win this game.

Will Harris start?

I'm hoping we don't. We need another lottery pick, so let the losing continue.

I'd like to either see us trade up with our pick and NJ's or package CJ + the #14 for a starting SG. Good news is there are a few decent SF's in an otherwise weak draft. So we could likely re-sign AK to be the starter for another couple of years and add a young SF to develop. I see Hayward eventually becoming a decent sixth man at both the 2/3, but perhaps never a starter. I think he's kind of like Millsap; he'll be better than most backups, but struggle against starters.

It will take some time for us to mesh as a unit, both offensively and defensively, and our individual players simply aren't that good playing one-on-one. So, I see us losing most of the remaining games, unfortunately. I'd be totally surprised if we made the playoffs, although I think the players we have will be busting their butts to get in.
It will be very interesting to see if Kirilenko picks up his game with Harris at PG over Williams. Both these guys' best offense seems to come when they slash to the basket, and both are good passers.

 

[Stickler]

I'd like this team to win. I will always root for this team to win. Playoff push, ahoy!
