If the playoffs started today: 2010-2011 edition

[ziggy]

Yep, this thread already

If the playoffs started today, we would be 11th in the east and lottery bound. BUT we are only 1.5 games out of 8th and I find it hard to believe that we can play this bad for the remainder of the season. In addition to that, Cleveland at 8 at Detroit at 9 are both horrible and both of these teams should start sliding real soon.

No need for panic and despair just yet.

Melo will save us when we get him......

No excuse to miss the playoffs, which is MJ's goal. Hell, there's no reason this team shouldn't be the #6 seed. Then again, there was no excuse to lose last night.

If the playoffs started today, we're stuffed.
Simple as that, no sugar coating since we're playing extremely inconsistent.
Until this team is able to get somewhere consistently, we ain't going anywhere.

Hard to believe Detroit was 0-5 or 0-6 to start the season and we gave them their first win... Now they are ahead of us. Something really does need to change with this team.

BTW, we traded away our first round pick for this coming draft right?

I'm really crap at this and I may be wrong, but I believe (but am not certain) that it's gone to Chicago from the TT trade.

I'm no good at the GM side of things either, but I think that's the '12 draft, not the upcoming one; we should be good to go this year.

We have this year's (2011) #1 pick. You can't trade away your #1 pick in two consecutive years and Denver got our #1 pick this last summer in repayment for Ajinca. Because of that rule, Chicago has to wait until 2012 to get our #1 pick for TTime.

Denver sent that pick (which was #16th overall to Portland who sent it to Minnesota with other consideration for Luke Babbitt)

[Toocool]

Well, atleast I knew it was from the Tyrus Thomas trade. Kinda expected to be wrong, hence all the disclaimers

Yeah, we can only trade this year's pick after the draft. Which, depending on who the new coach is and how the season plays out, could happen as a salary dump...
