TBH I forgot we still had a game left. Oh well, hope the young guys lead us to a victory

I'd really like to see if Ellenson is capable next to Drummond and I wish they'd stop pussy footing around it!

I wish they'd start Ellenson, too. We are literally playing for nothing and the game is inconsequential, at least use it as a data point going into the off-season/summer league.
Smith/KCP/Johnson/Ellenson/Drummond. Let Johnson play PG with the second unit.

I think we're beyond the point of caring any more. The season is done. We're locking into the 12th seed thanks to a classic end of season mini-run to move further back in the draft. And, we're playing a generally boring team to watch.

i dunno, he's looked okay vs. backups but in the one game he started he looked way outclassed. no sense in having him out there if he can't do much offensively/is getting crushed defensively.

Man we are so good at shooting threes

The Moose · Post #13 » by **The Moose** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 12:28 am

Really glad we got those wins against the Rockets and Grizzlies...

Magic just lost by 50 last game, and we are down by 20 after 1.
