I'd rather we get a W here than an L. No injuries until we raise that 19th banner.

No starter, shpuld Get more than 25 minutes. Start playing the others.. And of course, certain plays like holiday and kp. And Al should maybe not play at all

Considering the three-ball is central to our offense, it would be really nice if JB and Jrue could shoot better than 31.6% and 33.7% from 3 for the season respectively. Maybe they’re saving the makes for the postseason, who knows.

or maybe have a head coach that has the capability to come up with a different game plan.

Are we allowed to talk about our HC?? Thought he was off limits?? Can I get started?? 8-)

In all seriousness. Beating normal teams Boston's/Joe's philosophy doesn't matter as much. But to beat the best, we better have a backup plan. Shooting a ton of 3s = less Fts for us as well as easy for other teams to fast break. Amongst other issues.

Is that a hint or indication that he may play tonight?? I don't mind him playing sparingly only to keep the rust off.

I know some won't care, and there are more important things than the regular season record. Health is still top Priority naturally. But getting 60 feels so much better than anything in the 50s.

Getting wide open shots sounds like a fine game plan to me. Make your damn open shots.

My autocorrect knows how to spell names like Wembanyama and Scheierman but always changes Horford to "horrid," which is just not right. It's a miracle I haven't accidentally posted something calling him that lol.

Porzingis should be charged with elder abuse forcing poor AL to play so many minutes. Can't see him back on the roster next season unless he takes a massive paycut.

If the #Heat were in New Orleans, their slogan would rightfully be #NOculture.

God I despise them cultureless bums.
