We are the only game being played tomorrow, kind of odd.

Anxiously awaiting the injury report, would be nice to see Okogie.

Any guesses on this center rotation tomorrow? I really hope this doesn't push moose out of the rotation. If anything I want to see moose and nurk On the floor together with the second unit.

This is our biggest road game of the year. Audience wise and interest levels should be high.

Think this is a makeup game from wild fires.

Definitely a source of intrigue. We catch our first glimpse at how the center rotation will play out. It's especially interesting because we're going to probably have all three players through at least half next season. Most likely we don't move Nurkic until the deadline.

So yeah, Moose trending 4/5 makes some sense. Maybe the super scout behind the scenes (none other than Mitch Kupchak) profiles Moussa as the Jonathan Isaac archetype. Their length, athleticism, agility, defensive versatility to guard 1-5.

Even if Moussa is a poor man's version, the lower skill level is priced in. And with Moussa you'd expect greater reliability given Isaac's dark injury history.

Nurkic should be 3rd string.

We're short on wing depth anyway, play Moussa next to either Mark or Nurk and tell them both that if they're open on the perimeter then let 3s fly.

Missed opportunity to put this one on National TV given it's the only one going on and has a ton of drama surrounding it.

Man I hope Mark cooks tonight. LaMelo should spam lobs to him.

I am super intrigued about the commentary to come presented by Mark's sponsor, ally, advocate, champion, and dear good friend, Ogelsby.

One time I was selling cars and the general manager of the dealership, who was an old car man himself, was telling this story about driving down from Tennessee to watch the datona 500. He was like, "we were drinkin beers and smokin taters the whole way down there."

I said, "what the **** is smokin a tater"

he said "it means smokin a joint"
