Shams: Nico to be fired today!

[Winter]

Well, they might start playing better. Very possible. 

They still have a crazy roster, put together by someone who thinks bigs are the only thing that matters. That problem hasn't magically disappeared with this firing. They still have literally NO ONE who can go get you a bucket 1-on-1 when the game is tied late in the 4th quarter and you need one. As we know, that's the one thing you can't win without. Flagg might be that guy eventually, and possibly even sooner than we might think, but I don't think depending on him for that this season is likely to result in a playoff birth - do you?

No, I don't expect a playoff birth. That's too much to ask. I do expect Kyrie to return though.

Probably the best I see is we are better than the Pelicans and maybe Memphis and Utah and probably not as good as Portland.
