Fournier and Kemba seem like such a waste. I get what the front office was trying to do but it seems like they didn’t take defense in consideration at all :lol:

It looks like Detroit came back down to earth and I got a sloppy win against them. My Pacers only shot 43% from the field but that was enough as the Pistons only shot 33%. Any win is a good win these days.

Next up is an explosive Magic team that I expect will shoot a hell of a lot better.

Might as well try and rest my top players against some of these 0- teams.. getting the full night off also helps with Allstar votes and YE awards as just reducing minutes impacts their stat lines

haha yep Morant did not like the reduction, at least Capela and Ingram saw no floor time. When Wall is healthy I can DNP Morant as well

My schedule has been tough af and there doesn’t appear to be any let-up in sight. Back-to-back on the road @LAL then @LAC, then continue on the road to Portland.

Schedule did me no favors early. I’ve had two sets of back-to-backs already. I’ve also already played NOLA twice and lost both times. SMH

This is how I feel too. But then I remember I've been lucky to not play Sacramento or the Clippers yet. Especially the Clippers they're basically the exact type of squad that should kill me (a team that can play a bogged down ugly game and win).

Hopefully I'm ending the day 7-3 instead of 5-5. Gotta keep my edge over Utah, the Lakers, Houston, and the Nuggets.

Also I forgot Dallas existed for the last few days smh. Dammit there's too many good teams here for me to hit 50+ like I want to lol.
