I doubt it. We're going to come out and build an early lead playing with emotion for Melo, then the collapse will happen early as we lose our legs. We gonna get waxed.

I just hope B.Donovan to give much more minutes to Huestis, Dakari and Felton.
He shouldnt use our starters more than 30 minutes because they wont be able to give good minutes beyond that. (except Roberson he is always minus anyway)

Regardless of how tired they are, the team is going to give 120% for Melo. I'm confident they can pull this one out with the way they've been playing recently.

Adams in concussion protocol. When did that happen?

Both teams without their best player.
