The Resting Game

really doesnt matter at this point. just stay healthy

Based off the quotes by the players, it seems like Deron is definitely sitting, Joe is likely to sit, and I would assume Lopez as well to go along with obviously Gerald Wallace.

Still hoping we can see something nice out our bench. I want some momentum there for the Playoffs. Honestly though how bad would it be for us going into the Playoffs after yesterday if we drop the next two because we are experimenting with rotations?

I'll be amazed if any starter plays tonight (save for maybe reggie). I want mirza to get some monster minutes in.

there's nothing wrong in giving our bench real minutes and confidence heading into the playoffs right?

What you say PJ?????

No we're locked in at this point at 4.

Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans, Jerry Stackhouse all out.

This apparently is the only way we'll ever see Reggie Evans out of the starting lineup

Why is Gerald Wallace starting?

Just let him get 100% for the playoffs and maybe his confidence will come back with a fresh restart, a new season.

He is? OK well we do need him to be good in the Playoffs so I can understand giving him a few minutes here and there to get him back into form a bit. Lets hope though its limited minutes.

The "injuries" listed are kinda hilarious

Deron is out with a "knee" injury
Stack is out with a "neck" injury
Reggie is out with a "shoulder" injury (LOL)
Brook is out with a "back" injury....Unfortunately, they couldn't list it as "cramps" or "sore vagina" due to adult content
Joe is out with a heel injury

Sorry for beating a dead horse. But don't we have the tie breaker on Indiana? If they lose out and we win out we will have the same record. Can someone let me know what I'm not seeing.

Division champions automatically get the higher seed in case of a tie so regardless of us whooping them at best we both finish at 49 and they get the 3 seed anyway.

Nice canned answers Billy. Can't criticize him too much though given the softball nature of this interview.

I want 26 home wins. Make it happen, guys.

To get his confidence up and shot attempts without having to cost us games. He could go 4-19 and we could look at it like "this sh*t gravy"
