Wont be easy without Poeltl/RJ already. If you add Barnes/CMB to that list then id expect a loss.

If there was a game to break out for Walter or Dick this is it.

No Poeltl, CMB, Barnes, so Mamu gonna play 48 mins. Still no need for an emergency big, take your time Bobby, no rush. If we lose to the wizards, man…

For the love of god, get another big. This is ridiculous.

It's a pretty serious need, for sure.

I’m not worried about this game. I’m worried about the 5 game home-stand afterwards. We suck at home.

Go Raps!

Curious to see if anybody will step up for the win.

Who's ready to see Battle get benched for Walter/Dick again? Lol

Everyone’s talking about getting another big, but I honestly think we’d be better if we just replaced those guys with actual productive wings.

Just do both and we'll automatically be a much better team.

1) Replace Walter and Dick's minutes with Battle and Lawson.
2) Get a big.

It's really that simple but unfortunately, we have a terrible coach and an inexperienced executive running the team now.

We need both. We need more offense from our guards off the bench AND we need a big.

That’s our starting power forward tonight.

Just my guess based on how Bobby does things. We’ll get the big man but the bench will remain trash.
