It’s not Brazilian Night tonight at the game, it’s the Anfernee Simons audition game.

Without Goga, it's a toss-up. With Goga, it's a dub.

He didn’t play in the game prior to the Heat game so hopefully he’s good to go tonight after playing the Heat game

Simons misses lots of games due to injuries. It would be a proper audition if he is out.

Do it for Tristan.

Crazy that he was buried on the bench after doing the same thing last year. WCJ’s drop off (so far) has made the realization painfully obvious. For all the hate Weltman gets, from myself included, the Goga and Mo additions were amazing.

Is this true? Franz back and is starting?

True...but the WCJ raise is awful

WCJ was easy to love and overlook his faults when he was, arguably, one of the best deals in the NBA. Knowing that extension is coming is terrible. I think they have to look to unload him this summer, strictly due to that...unless they are afraid Goga might be a flight or shakedown risk.

Isaac is officially in.

Goga and Gary are officially out.

We await word on Franz, Cole and Jett.

Franz is playing!!

It's happening!!!

First game with Franz and Paolo together since October 30th.

Even though I'm sure this isn't like a "true" full game either with a minute restriction on Franz, but even those games Franz left because of illness. Last game they had played together "in full" was against Memphis.

Jett is also available tonight.

Still TBD on Cole.
