Alright! Lets see what Book, the three rooks and the Dragon can do tonight! Doesn't sound like the winning recipe but who knows. Interested to see if Ayton can hang with Drummond at all for rebounds. Also wonder if Ayton with guard Griffin (and Bender Drummond) or the other way around.

So...what we hoping to see? Are we in the clear tanking-wise so we can win if we want? If I can see Ayton hold his own somewhat against Drummond (e.g. keep him under 20 rebounds, put up a 15/10 against him) I'd be content. No Oubre. Gotta put the bar low.

I am pulling for us to play well. I don't really care about the tank. I think we are still safe for 4th at the lowest, but probably 3rd regardless of what happens. With Oubre out, and Tyler/TJ still missing, I doubt we have to worry about winning too many games. Even if we did our odds at Zion drop a measly 1.5% and a top 4 pick like 4%.

Bulls have 4 more wins than us so we'd have to win 5 and them win none for us to be below them, with 10 games left. Or we win 4 and they win none and we lose the coin toss for tiebreaker.

Their schedule is fairly tough though, however they do play the Knicks twice, but also the Raptors and Sixers 2x each and the Jazz and Blazers. One game against Washington too...be nice if they won that one because I'd like the Wizards to finish worse than the Mavs, Lakers, Grizz and Pelicans.

Is Jimmer playing !???

Idk why I’m waiting for this game, maybe only because I’m bored today and sick. But I’ll be here watching.

I was wondering that also. That would double my interest in the game for sure.

No Jimmer.

Suns would have posted something and yet there is nothing. Pretty sure he has to get clearance to leave from the CBA before we can even actually sign him (Still no announcement from the Suns that he has been signed).

Bummer.

Strong move by Ayton. If that was Amare, he'd have slammed that home.


*Another missed dunk attempt by Ayton. Nice spin move though.

Ayton with a couple nice plays early

Nice play by Booker to Ayton to Bender!

Active Ayton looks so good.

Uh-oh. Ellington is getting wide open threes.

Booker with that old MJ/old Kobe type of post game at only 22 years old. Incredible.

Everyone getting And1's tonight, regardless of win or loss.

Ally-Oop from the 3 point line like WHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT???????????

Jesus Christ....that's a ridiculous alley pass and finish from Mikal to Ayton

Wow, alleyoop reverse slam!

Bridges with the Jackson-esque Missed Power-Dunk!

Detroit with that turnstile defense right now.

I like what I've been seeing from Bridges. He's been taking more risks, being more aggressive and trying more things out there
