Whose beating this team when it's whole?

Answer: NOBODY!!

Our second team is better than half the leagues first teams.

The only player we're down today, that seems more like rest, is Joe Harris, but he should be playoff ready.

PS. With the Wizards winning last night, the Bulls were officially eliminated from the play-in tournament.

LETS ROLL

I'm not sure if Nash trusts Claxton enough to start him but I sure hope he does start!

I agree. That one was more MY CALL than what I think Nash's will be.

I suspect Nash will start Griffin or Uncle Jeff and go smaller with the starting lineup (C), but there really is no wrong way to go with this. When this team is healthy, no matter which way we go, our first team is a Juggernaut and our second team is better than half the leagues first teams.

The Evil Empire is complete.

Nash is probably starting Blake. Granted, it's not a bad thing because Blake has been awesome on both ends, but Claxton is our best big and Harden unlocks his ceiling.

Harris is out so we're officially getting zero minutes this season with our best 5.

Also encourages Nash to start Blake since Bruce will start.

Joe has the easiest job out of everyone in the Big 3 or Big 4. So, his resting and recovery is going to be super important.

I want to see Alize get a spot in the last two games.

I wasn't sure about Harris.

Thanks for the update and I made the necessary updates.

This is the most excited I've been for a regular season game since we traded for Harden.

At today’s game…



Glad the Big 3 are playing today.

IMO it's the best regular season game to be at all year!

Congratulations.

Needless to say, if we win these last two (Bulls & Cavs) we secure the #2 Seed no matter what the Bucks do.

That said, I believe Boston will beat Charlotte even without Jaylen Brown, HOWEVER, if we close the deal and secure the #2 Seed we will absolutely dismantle Boston without Jaylen Brown, perhaps a SWEEP, and even if the Hornets manage to upset Boston we would annihilate them too.

So IMO not only do we get a week off, but that 2 Seed gives us a QUASI BYE in RD 1 too.

LETS GET IT DONE!!

Plus we owe them a butt-whuppin' for Vucevic being so loose with his elbows last week.

I'm looking forward to seeing our Big 3, let's go Brooklyn!

Ah... There's a game today, right?

Why do we sleepwalk thru the start of so many of these games?

It's been a problem all year and HERE WE GO AGAIN.

Harden needs to initiate the offense.

So is this going to be another game where the refs let the Bulls slap our players in the face/head?

Irving cooking early.

?s=20

I can’t wait to go when it’s fully open.
