At the All-Star Break, we're 28-23, still on the bubble for a playoff spot.

New York 106-93 W
Indiana 116-92 W
Washington 107-94 W
@ Milwaukee 111-94 W
Oakland 110-103 L
@ Chicago 116-83 L
Charlotte 114-94 W

I start looking around for possible trade opportunities that will help us this season, but not kill our flexibility going forward.

I settle on SF/PF Boris Diaw from Charlotte. I like his flexibility, and we really don't have a good #2 PF right now. They want youth, SG Josh Selby who was showing some promise in the D-Leagues. I like Selby too, but we've got a pretty good group of perimeter players. I pull the trigger and hope that it won't come back to burn us.

We finish February 31-25.

Milwaukee 105-81 W
Houston 99-94 L
@ Indiana 103-97 W
@ Washington 101-89
@ Memphis 96-92 W

So, slightly disappointing finish, but it was without Gasol who missed the first four games after the break.

Team Leaders:
Scoring:
Marc Gasol 16.9
Arron Afflalo 16.1
Kyrie Irving 14.2
Troy Murphy 13.2
Corey Brewer 11.5
Derrick Williams 10.7
Boris Diaw 10.3

Rebounding:
Marc Gasol 10.7
Troy Murphy 7.4
Boris Diaw 5.1

Assists:

Ramon Sessions 3.9

We end March 38-34 and we'd be the 7th seed if the playoffs started today. With 10 games left, it's going to come down to the wire.
