Feels like this is the first "big game" weve had here in a few years. Decent chance Garland is still out but Donny/Mobley/Allen should be all ready to go. Hunter has been pretty solid for them past couple weeks as well.

A win here would tie us up recordwise with the Cavs. We are 1 game behind them.

If they want any shot at winning this game tonight then they've gotta DNP Walter and Agbaji. They have been the worst two players on the team by a wide margin. From the jump Darko's gotta go to Mamu, CMB, Shead, Battle, and Dick as his bench guys, he can't waste any non garbage minutes on Walter and Agbaji, the negative ramifications of them playing will be too much to overcome against this Cavs team.

Agbaji is injured so thats not an issue. Mamu is probably out too so Walter will likely be in

If the Cavs have both Mobley and Allen going, we need to recall Mogbo from the 905. There's no way we can go into tonight against the Cavs with Scottie and a still-limited Poeltl as our only players over 6-6.

Interested how CMB does against the length of that frontcourt. Good test for the rookie.

dick is now shooting 39.7%/35% on the season. that's fvv level efficiency with none of the other intangibles.

as long as dick and walter continue to be staple rotation pieces, we are ****.

I hope Walter and Battle get more minutes.

There's just something about Walter's game we aren't seeing yet, this year, that we saw some of last year.
I really think he's just getting used to the added weight.

I Wonder what we can get for Gradey, in a 1 for 1 trade, or as a trade kicker.

If Mamu is out then I'd rather see Mogbo get those minutes.

If CMB doesn't play, we lose this.

Highest ftr on the team by a wide margin, with a TS% of 56. Dick will be fine.

Dick is a lot more reliable than Walter.

Shucks, Mogbo is with the 905. The big club's only player above 6'8" has back spasms, but it's out of the question for him to join them. He would need a ride, and his mom can't because she works late.

Seriously, wtf is this. Mickey mouse organization.

I am fairly sure they can fly Mogbo out to Cleveland if they feel the need to do so. Where do you come to the conclusion they have decided not to or aren’t willing to fly him there if needed?

Strongly implied by Blake Murphy including him in his tweet of unavailable players. Plus it's how the team has handled the GLeague during road trips in the past, they just leave guys there.

If Rogers actually pays to fly Mogbo down I'll retract my mickey mouse statement.

He was 40 percent from 3 before last game. He did miss all his 3s but he played some of his best defense of the season, had 2 dunks and a layup. We also won the minutes he was on the floor, just like we have all season. Still not the day to **** on Gradey.
