8 in a row let's keep it up boys!!! I know you guys can win five or less the rest of the way, no matter what other stubborn moderators here think.

If you wanna be the other teams fans each night feel free to leave it off this forum

I think Milsap should sit out a couple of games to rest that knee, if you know what I mean.

I have been a fan since '84 and I have I stayed a fan through our 13 win season and through every up and more down that this team has gone through. Injuries has destroyed This season and it is now lost. getting one of the last playoff spots this year gains us nothing...especially with this particular draft where franchise potential players that we can line up next to Al next season are available. We have not had a franchise player since nique.

Like I said in the chat - I can accept the losses but I will NEVER root for this group of guys to lose. NEVER.

Nope. I'm in for the long haul since the 80s and one and done in the playoffs does nothing for us going forward.

I'm with ya Deeman...a bone bruise can get an infection...I'd say a week or two to be safe.

Whatever you're doing keep it up JayBird!

How'd we shoot in the second quarter? Was it 17 out of 20? That was crazy. Not that it matters, but we've got to be one of the first teams to do that and be in the middle of an eight game losing streak.

[LamarHampton]

With all of the injuries i just go into these games with the mindset that we win if we win, and if we lose we win. I can't root for my guys to lose, but a higher pick is starting to look a lot more interesting. I can be happy with the guys competing every night, developing the younger guys, keeping the Kyle streak going, losing closely and respectably, and getting a better pick. We`ve been massacred by injuries and while i thought at the beginning of the season that maybe we even had a shot to go to the ECF, those dreams are over. Will it be painful to watch? Probably. But it's starting to seem like the most reasonable approach.

Hey..y'know...we all know...if Horford had gone down with a strained something or other and was coming back next month...and the other guys had stayed a bit healthier...we would have a real chance at a first round win in the playoffs and maybe even done something special. When AL went out for the season - playoff hopes were basically gone. Sure...Pero stepped up but he is just a nice player...and when he went down and Ayón (who basically doesn't matter) went down ...well...wtf....

What is the deal with Dennis? Thought tonight would have been the perfect time to get some real minutes. I don't even think Acie Law got this many DNP's.

With a few more fouls I thought he would be playing minutes at forward...maybe they didn't teach him to box out in Germany.

Where is Dennis I just know he will be Rondo because the experts say so.

[ViperXX79]

Drummond is a beast.

Sarcasm right? That's clever...

[LamarHampton]

This team is beaten up. I mean, who's our back up center? Shelvin? That's a big load to bear on some 34-yr old Elton Brand legs. Let's hope he stays healthy so we can keep these games somewhat close.
