Two things about the Boston scrubs:

1. Some of them are pretty good.

2. A lot of them actually are champs.


What terrible luck Boston had last night when all of their top players got injured vs the Knicks.

Who got injured? I do not like playing bench players, we don’t scout them well enough.

Oh and FYI, Fan Appreciate Night for the NBA need to be earlier in the season so that most teams aren’t resting their guys for what is deemed “meaningless games”.

Hawks and Celtics are going to hopefully be what we're looking for at the end of the this season.

Does anyone know if the game on Sunday vs the Hawks will be a meaningful game? I wanna go watch it live but I don’t want to pay over $100 if Paolo or Franz aren’t gonna play

Are we really in a position to "lose" some games? Would think we try to win them all...

If the Magic win tonight, that would clinch the division and the 7 seed.

My guess is that they would choose to sit people on Sunday.

Same. Franz, Paolo, Suggs and Mo miss a combined 150 games and the team is only 7 games worse than the season prior? That’s an achievement in my books.

Agreed. Highest paid players are JI, Kcp, and Cole. Highest played players are KCP, Franz, and AB. Playin is reasonable

with all the contracts that kick in this summer, we're going to fly past most of those teams on the x-axis. We're scheduled to be at over $200 million if we pick up all the options and keep the 2 1st rd picks :o

Pretty graph. Paints a clear picture of the must-win-now teams vs us. OKC is massively ahead of the curve for now. Major props to Detroit for their turnaround.

It's good that the Celtics are resting a lot of their players but there are no gimmies in this League.

The Magic need to take care of business and lock up that 7th Seed.
