Not starting Naz is disappointing.

Update: Naz is starting

Naz Reid will start against the Celtics on Friday.
Coach Ryan Saunders goes with the rookie to start the second-half run, and he should stick there for a while with Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) out for at least two more weeks. Naz has been a per-minute stud so far, putting up per-36 stats of 23.3 points, 8.7 boards, 2.3 dimes, 1.0 steals, 1.7 blocks and 3.7 treys. He should be owned in standard leagues.

I already saw your update, but just to remind you for future games, ducler does not set the starting lineups for teams.

James Johnson just said they are still trying to make the playoffs lol.

Well if we go 29-0. Might be able to squeeze in.

Beasley has said the same thing. It's about having that mindset. They know the odds, they're not dumb. Still good to be aiming to perform your best as if the playoffs were in reach.

Russell gonna get cut for taking all these mid range shots.

No Center. They think they are the Rockets. No center, and no offense and no defense.

Broke it already.

He could sit on the floor slurping a sucker all game and there is nothing they can do about it. Would love to see Ryan bench him for a quarter after the next long 2. But it's sort of part of his game. Maybe save them for late in teh clock.
