Well Lucas was awful and damn near lost us the game. He did knock down those 2 free throws for some redemption but I'm not surprised they're bringing in another PG to check out in the G league. Tonight's game should be good to go on League Pass for those that have it. Similar situation to the Memphis game. We'll probably see most of the Dallas starters tonight teams start treating these games like regular season at this stage of preseason.

Curious if he was brought in to play with our team tonight/tomorrow with the b2b or just for Lakeland.

Didn't Denton say something like now during these games the bench will play a lot more?

They apparently are going to play the bench tonight.

Tonight and tomorrow are the last two games this season not on TV although I think one might be available on League Pass.

Tonight's game is on FS Dallas, so it'll be on LP

Please start Birch over Biyombo!

I wouldn't mind the bench playing more in this game as long as Isaac, Birch, Iwundu and Mario are getting minutes with them. I'm going to the Spurs game tomorrow and would much rather see the starters against the Spurs for my own selfish reasons of course lol.

If they plan to play mostly the bench its going to be an ugly offensive performance, prob a good thing is not on local TV lol.

I'd like an extended look at Iwandu, looks like they're grooming him into a hybrid PG/SG.

Or we simply will see a player demonstrate a new skill we have yet to discover due to playing time.

HezonGOD will bury 40pts.

Won’t be able to watch but I’d be happy to go with a big rotation of Speights / Birch giving Vuc / Biyombo the night off.

I hope we're not resting too many players... this team doesn't really have that luxury. There's no need to give minutes to guys like Lucas and Rudez.

``He still looks comfortable – maybe too comfortable at times – and maybe we need to reign him back a little in terms of (shot selection),’’ Vogel said with a chuckle.

Frank talking about Mario today. Also mentions he is having knee problems.

Of course they pick the game that we're actually going to be able to watch to bench the starters. Tomorrows game isn't televised at all.
