2nd night of a road back to back with travel from Chicago to Boston involved, not sure how much rest the team got last night. Either way, screw an excuse. Leave it all on the floor tonight I say.

Tonight is the night where we could really use one of those combined 50 point nights from Russell and Dinwiddie.

Not sure if Joe Harris plays because he tweaked his ankle last night. Kurucs will need to step up.

Lets hope we can continue to get good play from Carroll/Napier/Dudley/Davis in that 2nd unit.

Schedule loss...

Well...i take back what I said lmao.

DMC and JOE out in addition to the usual (Caris, Crabbe, Rondae, Musa)

Probably looking at

Russell, Spencer, Rodi, Dudley, Allen
Napier, Pinson,Graham, Faried, Davis

Am I forgetting anyone? I don't think we have any other healthy bodies right?

Major props if these guys somehow pull this out.

LOL! Good chance to see guys like Pinson and Faried as well as extended run for Graham. Somehow I still feel like we'll be competitive though

we are 1-33 in our last 34 games of a second of a back to back on the road. I am not hopeful. I will be in attendance tonight so hopefully at the very least we play our starters and its not a repeate of the milwaukee game

We took care of business by getting revenge on Nola, Memphis while beating the Bulls last night.

This one is a schedule L.. Cs haven't played since Friday.

With Joey out I bet Kenny starts Graham.

i doubt faried plays. Graham should get all of DMC's minutes id assume and we see extended play from dudley. Maybe a pinson sighting to eat up some of harris minutes but more likely extended minutes on napier and dinwiddie

WOW, with all those guys out I'm just expecting that we keep it competitive throughout. No blow outs and no giving up.

This is a game where the coaching staff needs to give smaller, attainable goals for the team (stuff like out rebound them in each period, no more than 2-3 turnovers a quarter, make sure everyone touches the ball on a drawn out offensive possession rather than chucking up a quick 3, etc.).

Hopefully I can watch some of the game tonight if my schedule allows it. It's a shame Harris isn't playing... when did he get hurt last night?

I think sometime in the 4th. Didnt look bad really, just typical precautionetry

From memory I believe he drove to the rim and tripped on someone's leg and had a nasty fall last night.
I'd have to go back and check the recording.

Harris is probably our most irreplaceable player at this point. Hopefully this is just precautionary and not some nonsense like what's going on with Crabbe.

Sucks that Musa is injured. These games would be nice for him to get some experience.

Hopefully we compete. Gonna need Rodi and Dudley to hold down the forward spots. Too much of Graham is probably a bad thing. Big game for Dinwiddie too. He's slowed down as of late.

disagree... stick with the "next man up" mantra. give these guys opportunities to prove themselves. dont give them an excuse to be average or worse, give them an opportuntiy to be good or great.

Harris is out? ok then pinson step up.

Nets are -10 dogs in this game, btw.

The real bet of the night however, is can Graham hit one of his wide open threes tonight? I like Graham but for a guy who was touted as a shooter he really fires up some hard ass bricks. I love his hustle and physicality though, I wouldn't mind seeing him get some time on Tatum.

Celtics coming of 2 days rest doesn't make this any easier.

We are going to need one of those games from Dinwiddie, where he gets scorching out.

Kenny said his rhythm is off and it makes sense since he's on;y played 2 games after so much missed time.

He shot 42% from 3 on 1.5 attempts(43.8% on catch and shoot) in Charlotte last season. I think he has the capabilities. Just needs to get in the flow on offense and I think he'll be a good 3&D option off the bench.

He wasn't making it before he got hurt though. I'll suspect he'll get quite a few looks tonight.

He only played 1 game and got hurt in his second. Only shot 2 3's in both games.

But, yes I agree, he should get a good amount of mins to try to get his 3pt shot going tonight.

Was counting his preseason stint since he was getting a lot of minutes then. He was 2 for 12 in PS, 0 for 2 before he got hurt, 0 for 3 since coming back.

He has an okay sample size of pretty good shooting so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. But man is his game ugly. Ugly form. Sloppy handles. Reckless decision making.

Hopefully he picks it up a bit. Maybe he can get out and transition and get some easy ones. Kenny has to love the dude for a reason. Charlotte fans liked him too.
