I like games like this. I want to see Drew Peterson vs JD Davison tonight. Whoever impresses Brad gets the playoff roster contract, LETS GO!

So no Tatum either. #7-11 on their depth chart starting. Queta's probably disappointed.

It's amazing we're only 7.5 point dogs.


That's because they know PP is at risk of chewing some Magic player's leg off at the knee.

Ah the all bench lineup!!

Anyways is this considered a slap in the face to a likely first round opponent?

So we won't let Brad shed Holiday and White's contracts this offseason and elevate Pritchard and Baylord to the starting backcourt next year.

I’d like to see JDD in a real game like this. I think the garbage time with the big lead might be the worst situation for him where he basically has to just waste time constantly.

Pritchard clearly filling in for JB's ball handling tonight.

Craig is super active. I would not be surprised if he even got a little run in the playoffs.

Times like these I can’t help but think five centers is a little light on big men.

SRG can't get open looks without Tatum's gravity.
