We need a win badly and here we are versus a tough club led by arguably one of the top competitors in the league in Jimmy Butler.

Hopefully, these last few days have given Kenny time to make adjustments. The league knows to pack the paint against us and dare us to win by making Prince and Temple shoot. We need to find ways to generate offense in the paint.

Thankfully, with Caris LeVert back we have two guys that can create offense. Let's hope Allen, Prince, Temple, Rodi, and TLC are on point tonight. Hopefully the starting 5 is Spencer/Harris/Rodi/Prince/Allen. I liked that unit in the last game.

So, KD absolutely destroyed Kendrick Perkins last night...

That was a tough clapback from Perkins, Paradise, BUT he was misdirecting and didn't address Durant's point at all. He can speculate on KD's motives in free agency, but he can't point fingers in the series where he was complete garbage. I say KD wins without having the last word, because Perk couldn't even address it.

Back to the game, this one will be tough. I'm glad to have good news to buoy our spirits, hopefully it will be the boost we need long-term. Tonight's outcome won't be a reflection of the impact of that news, but I still want this one badly.

We might need to start TLC over Prince, along with Spence, Joe, Rodi and Jarrett. He needs a mental reset in the worst way, he shot well last game but still gets lost tracking shooter defensively. MIA will make him and us pay if we over-expose him. Allen has to win his matchup with Bam. I love that JA's overall mindset is the infinite game, he's not hung up on day-to-day H2H dominance and is instead focused on improving himself everyday. That's great, but sometimes, you just have to look your opponent eye to eye and refuse to lose. Adebayo is less gifted, but he truly understands the importance of locking down your matchup and imposing your will. Jarrett cannot allow BA or anyone else to punk him, he's got to bring that dawg and dunk on everyone from here to Dade county.

He burned that man to the ground. These cats need to stop coming for KD he isn't playing anymore !!!

A win would be nice. Especially after the events of the last couple days

Yikes.



What are we looking at here?

Dinwiddie / Pinson / Chiozza
LeVert / TLC
Harris / Musa
Kurucs / Anderson
JA / DJ / Clax

Man this is rough. And yet, the idiot Knick fans on the GB are wondering why we aren't being scrutinized. The fact that we're still in the playoff hunt with all of these injuries is a miracle.

I would do this:

Allen/Jordan
Prince/Claxton
Kurucs/Musa
Harris/TLC
Spencer/LeVert

With maybe some spot mins for Theo in case someone gets into foul trouble. I would probably keep the rotation to 9 guys at most though.

KD’s agent Rich Kleiman changes his tune and doesn’t dismiss a return this season on the Micheal Kay show.

We need to close out these games. If we’re up 6 points with 2 minutes left, keep attacking, stop with the silly shots and costly turnovers and bad defense.

Sucks cause Temple is our best defender against Jimmy Butler. I don't really trust anyone else on him.

Is Claxton available to play? I thought he just got sent to the G League.

Luckily, Rodi can take Temple's starting spot and backup Prince if necessary. Pinson and Musa probably get in the rotation. Not mad at it. They played well last time they got burn. I'm sure LeVert is still on a 24 minute limit.

They miserable.

I'm not wishing to players any injuries but Chandler being out is addition by substraction. Kenny's obsession with Prince and Chandler get me mad at times. Clax getting some pt would be nice.

Kurucs coming out hot from 3.

my guy Kurucs is back!

I’m pessimistic about this team right now but this is a fantastic start play like this for the whole game and maybe we can win.

And here we come with this bs

lmao

This team once again gets a lead and forgets how to score.
