Vucevic should still be out for them. I'm not sure about Payton. It's a must win game!

Magic beat Nugz tonight. They'll be on 2nd night of B2B. Need to get this win. Magic always seem to play us tough.

Last game of the homestand, go out with a bang!?

They're surely motivated.

No Vucevic , that's huge.

Thanks for the honesty.

Elf is a great option to defend Kemba.

Jason Smith will kill him with pop outs in the pick-n-roll

I really enjoyed an instance of writing the words "Jason Smith will kill him" where they actually might become true.

Yeah, Smith is exactly the type of pick and pop big that gives Al trouble. Al will lay off the pick action and leave Smith wide open for mid-range jumpers.

Would be a good time for Cody to bounce back from a few subpar games.

Does Lamb play today? I say yes.

Want a W. However we can get it. Would like to see Cody and some other guys get it going along with the usual guys. Lee seems to now be comfortable in the offense and is a solid contributor.

I remember Jason Smith killing us last game with his pick and pops. Elfrid hasn't played the last 3 games, with Brandon Jennings in his place. Seems like a game where we need to play small. Lee will help a lot.

I say no. It's going to take a few back to back poor performances from Troy Daniels to make Cliff put Lamb back in the rotation just like the other time before when Cliff gave Daniels Lamb's minutes. There's no method to the madness when a player is in Cliff's doghouse or lacks his trust (i.e. Maxiell over Biz, PJ over Lamb, etc.).

Vucevic and Payton are probably injured. We must take advantage of this, it's a must-win game if we want to continue compete on the Southeast division. With Vucevic and Payton out they're much weaker.

I bet the fact that Daniels has a TS% of 63.6% on the season while Lamb is stuck in a shooting slump probably has something to do with why Cliff has started giving Daniels some minutes.

I do expect that Daniels keeps getting his minutes unless his shooting efficiency really drops or he just stops trying on defense.

The last time Troy played meaningful minutes for a few games in a row was when Lamb was out injured and Lamb immediately went back into the rotation when he returned.
