I think ersan has an illness and isn't playing in this game.

I always wonder how Boston is as good as they are with their roster. And I also wonder how Denver is as bad as they are with theirs.

I'll be in the crowd tonight. Hoping we get that W for Chauncey as well as revenge for that loss we had against Denver a little while ago!

Coaching matters

Please play good defense the whole game not just for a half.

Coaching

Boston's coach will be the next Popovich. He's great and you'll see that team dominate the East for years. Boston is set for a great run.

If Ilyasova isn't playing in this game then Tolliver will start and Hilliard will get extended playtime. I hope Stanley has a big game tonight. We need to win this game badly. If we win. we're right on track with how I thought they'd be when the season started.

They've got to get a great player, maybe two. They have a chance with the Brooklyn picks, but haven't been able to pull off a consolidation deal with their assets.

Yeah I mean even if they get Simmons, their team will take time to develop. But I think they'll take a shot at a trade this deadline for Horford or Howard. It might work out and it might not. But Ainge is known to take risks.

Gotta avoid foul trouble. We're short staffed where Tolliver is starting with Baynes his primary back-up. Mook starting at SF with Johnson taking his back-up minutes, meaning Hillard is getting 15 minutes tonight unless we see a lot of Jennings-Jackson. If Stanley gets a rookie whistle against him or Dre picks up a couple quick ones we're in dire straits.

Bloody hell, Reggie Jackson ain't playing tonight either - out with an illness, probably same bug Ersan has.

So we're
Jennings/Blake
Johnson/Hilliard/Bullock
Morris
Tolliver
Drummond/Baynes/Anthony

Reggie out tonight too. Hmm I wonder if it's to raise Jennings trade value and prove he's an nba starter before he gets traded at the deadline

i have a strong feeling its moreso to see what dinwiddie can bring in the event we trade jennings. Rather than replace jennings as backup pg with SD, policitcal way is give RJ a rest
