Need to win.

May the 4th be with you.

Water’s wet.

Death and taxes.

Blah, blah, blah...

Twin #1 and Tae are both out for this one.

Wonder if McD will get the start?

Assuming it’ll be McDaniels starting, but wouldn’t shock me to see Caleb thrown in there either.

Start Monk, go small. You can still keep him on a minutes restriction.

Should be McD, but Monk also deserves to be thrown a start. The fact that Caleb Martin has started more games for us than Malik is flat out corny.

Miles out due to health and safety protocols. PJ out due to "personal reasons". This is not ideal.

If Miles is out for a while then we are in a load of trouble. This is horrendous news.

Are we tanking now? FFS we can't catch a break!!!

Probably still need to bring Monk off the bench so that we at least have one useful player in the 2nd unit. My guess is it will be Terry/Melo/Martin2/McD, then I have no idea who will start between Cody and Biz.

In all seriousness, the playoffs for this team and what it has faced with injuries and what I’d say is the toughest schedule in the league would be remarkable. It’ll probably still happen too, but you can only sustain so much talent loss in a season.

PJ out too. WTF

Well LaMello...let's see you flex those primary scoring option muscles.

ETA: oops, see that I'm late on the PJ news.

I think it should be Vern man...let Melo and Vern try it out now and see what they've got...mine as well right?!

Need offense as well. I'm gonna legit be pissed if Vern gets a DNP-CD tonight.

Melo/Terry/(I guess Caleb)/McD/Vern
Wanamaker/Monk/Biz (???)

Also really wouldn't mind if JB gave Riller a shot at meaningful minutes.

It'd be commendable if we found a way to win this game. Might be the only one we could possibly win for a while :cry:

I'm cool with Vern starting. Id rather us be in the lottery at this point anyways, so I'm down for development minutes. I just think the franchise is still trying to make the playoffs and the last time I watched Vern play he got 4 fouls in like 7 minutes, so I don't know if JB is going to be trying to play him.

There’s goes Miles iron man streak.

And if he’s out 10-14 days, along with Tae, Gordo and now PJ - there goes our playoff hopes as well.

Buzz mother **** buzz...

With Miles Bridges out, would Jalen Mcdaniels be the pickup I should make for fantasy?

Maybe, he'll definitely get more PT. In order of likely increase to normal production from this I'd go Monk first, then McDaniels. Wouldn't surprise me to see Ball go a little gunner mode too.
