I hope Bynum is getting better. This is when the team is going to need him.

Hill and Hibbert are the only starters playing tomorrow. Smart. Theyve both played terribly and we need to get them on rhythm. The others need to rest.

Magic fan here.

Damn, we were hoping you wouldn't sit George, Turner, and West tomorrow. We're in a little clinch race of our own with Utah and the 3rd best odds for the draft. They're up 1 game and have 1 less loss .They play Minnesota and will likely lose. We play you and want to lose that too.

Do you think Hibbert and co tomorrow can beat the Magic? Honest question. Jameer Nelson and Nik Vucevic are done for the season btw.

I definitely think we'll win. With Vuc and Jameer done for the season, there's not much left on your team besides Dipo.

We already beat the Bucks with zero starters against all of their starters, so playing Hibbert and Hill against a team slightly better than the Bucks missing their two starters seems like a pretty easy win. The bench is already on a role. Watson and Scola were on fire against the Bucks and OKC.

That said, you've beat us before this season... and anything can happen.

EDIT: Also, Turner is playing. It's George, Stephenson, and West that are sitting.

Tough to say. Hill and Hibbert will only play the first half.

Though i'd imagine the intensity from the bench will be pretty high as they are not used to bigger minutes and this is their time to shine.

Thanks. I appreciate your insight. I'm a firm believer that anything can happen in the NBA. I hope you guys get the win tonight.

Oh man, only the first half? With Vucevic out, I hope Hibbert scores big against DeWayne Dedmon. Oladipo is our best defender, and he'll most likely be on Turner all evening (pause). Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated!
