2 Down - 64 to Go

Shortened season. Tons of talent now in the west. No time to get in shape.

Task 1: Revenge against Memphis. CHECK!

Manu had a broken arm. They were peaking at the right time. Chalk it up to a farce. There was never any question about this game, and Manu & a rejuvenated Timmy said so. Introducing Kawhi Leonard.

Task 2: The new "instant-contenders" Clippers. CHECK!

Experts say this team is an instant contender to win the west. They sure didn't look like it! OK, I'll give them a half-season to get it together. Way to go, Manu, DeJuan, and James!

I'm not worried at all. Bring on the Rockets!

UPDATE:


Ooops! Ok, ok, no one's gonna win 'em all. Just didn't shoot well early, that's about the easiest thing to fix.. We make 3 or 4 more of those 10 threes we missed in the 1st half, and the halftime lead is 6 or 9 rather than 18. Then Pop doesn't yank Timmy, and so on.. might've been completely different.
