Probably bench the starters and Beasley. No reason to care about this one. Plus if it comes to it, I would rather face the Spurs than the Pels. Let the spurs get to 9th and have home court.

I’m probably in the minority, but I hope finch has one eye on the scoreboard of the Denver game. If Denver is blowing out Memphis in the 2nd half, there’s zero sense in risking injury to our starters

Lakers won’t play their big 3 against Denver now that they are eliminated. We need Denver to lose to the Lakers without Lebron, AD, or RW. Not seeing it.

I'd like to see some starters get some rest. That said we need to play very well and go into that Clippers game as sharp as ever. We have been sloppy lately.

I thought there was a limit to how many times a team can wear an alternate jersey, seems like we have worn our alternate for like 60 percent of the season.

Remember when this team was good on defense in the first couple of months? Feels like so long ago now.

Seems like we’re playing like a team that’s trying it’s best to play in the play in, not avoid it

Power outages by the bench are hurting us lately. We need those guys to carry a lot of the load.

I'm getting a bad feeling on this one. We should kill these guys but they are hanging around and leading by 5 after 1. Ant and Kat need some help.

Given the 1st quarter I was expecting to be down at the half - Much better second quarter

:lol: That is good!! Marnie is really something. Isn't she? I mean Dave isn't bad but Marnie has the edge. Sorry Dave. I still like him but I'm just sayin.

Then her 1/2 hour interviews are the best.

My god! They just over-ruled a terrible call against Kat that Finch had reviewed and they reversed it....rightfully so. There is hope.
