If Adams isn't 100 %, he should not play tonight. I'm also excited for more Dakari

We really need Adams against the Spurs on Friday (and then against Pelicans/Warriors). Before that we should be fine without him.

He is out

Roll with Dakari?

Dennis smith going of for 30 points tonight. WE got this tho. Thunderup!

Johnson trying to guard Dirk should be something else. Could almost see Billy going to Patterson instead.

Win or lose, I won’t take away much from this game.

Let’s see if Donovan will try and exploit that matchup.

Agreed. He is probably the most important player on the team with how much lack of depth we have. Rest him. Make sure he's 100%.

Also, we should eat Dallas up tonight. I hope Westbrook does what he did versus Clips.

What we should be looking for in this game is consistency from Westbrook. Can he build momentum off of his performance versus the Clips? Can he play off-ball a little bit more like he was doing? I think how Westbrook plays tonight says a lot about the rest of the season.

I also feel like the injury to Adams is a positive because it forced dononvan to play Dakari. Otherwise Billy would have let him rot at the end of the bench. I’m not saying he’ll be a player but he deserves a shot.

There's not much to guard at this point.

It also forces the rest of the guys to play defense. It's either sink or swim.

No word on him yet.

Agree but still want to see if we keep maintaining the same adjustments than last game (PG13 being clear second option and handling the ball way more).

Hope Billy gives more minutes to Abrines and Patterson.

Really? Saw it on twitter yesterday.

Edit: NVM, Royce just tweeted.

Interested to see how Dakari performs going up against a completely different player tonight. I will say this for starting him over Patterson, it preserves the rotations and substitution patterns for the most part, for whatever that’s worth.....

I honestly don't know who he's even up against. Dallas played the Cavs yesterday and Noel got a DNP-CD.

At first this seems like a bad matchup for Dakari but dirk is a shell of his former self.
