Russell questionable is a problem :(

Let Al Horford spend more time with his children!

I'm not sure what is the worst thing here : having to postpone a game against the wolves without SGA, Dort and Hill or winning with Muscala and Williams leading the team...

Maybe bazley goes for thirty in a loss and we all go to bed happy.

Btw we have 8 active players and Horford doesn't usually play b2b. Guess they will play SGA and/or Dort tomorrow or manage Horford's minutes tonight so he can play tomorrow as well.

Russell is IN...I don't think he's good but guess that should be enough against our team.

Not ready for this. Somehow the feeling about not being able to lose when you have to is worse than losing when you need to win.

Hope we can rest Horford tomorrow and have only one of Dort or SGA coming back but I doubt OKC will rest Al to play with only 8 players.

Mark Daigneault should win COY. We chose the wrong coach to tank.

Yeah I guess I was a bit overexcited about Bazley after the first 5-8 games. I still like his ceiling but he's beyond terrible for a while now. rev

Great loss tonight. Very glad. Presti working hard to make sure we lose these games. I’d expect SGA and Dort out tomorrow too - if my conspiracy theory is correct. Hehe.

Don't think so. And our kids aren't helping. He will need to work even harder :lol:

I don't think SGA and Dort will be out. We need 8 players so more likely they rest Al Horford and play SGA or Dort (or both). They looked ''ok'' in pregame shootaround

Ideal scenario - Horford + SGA out, Dort in. Think that should still lean towards a Wolves win.

I’m hopeful a real offseason will be enough for him to improve his shooting.
