Phew, we could have been tied with 2nd worst record with the Lakers. Glad that didn't happen.

Perfect game...except for one thing:

Too. Much. Bledsoe.

Everytime he went up against Lopez for a rebound, I thought...here comes another knee injury when the season is already done.

So we just him for the year??? no one will want to trade for him then. He needs to be playing to get back to what he was.
We have to shut down Bledsoe and start Knight and play him 35 mins.

Overall a good game. I liked the new rotation, we know what we have in Knight and Chandler so is smart to play Ulis, Jones Jr. and Williams their minutes.

I wanted the win because it was a great effort by our youngsters and a watchable game.

Chriss played a good game and Williams was amazing finishing around the rim...what a touch.

Bledsoe, Booker and Warren with solid games, but we needed that free throw to win the game....well, another loss for a better pick.

No one's going to want him if we play him. Every minute he gets just avalanches his value more.

That was the ideal game for the rest of the season. Close loss, plenty of time for Quese, Ulis, Williams, and Jones, and all around good play from our young guys. No Knight was just the cherry on top.

Quese had an excellent stat line tonight with 17 points, 7 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 2 blocks on 70% from the field and 67% from 3. He made some mistakes, needs to work on his free throws, and missed a couple dunks, but it was another encouraging showing from him for sure. I'd like to see him average something like 14/6/1.5 for the last 25 games if his playing time stays like this.

I know I can look this up but was it a DNP-CD for Knight?

I said that exact same thing a few months ago as a joke, But its not true. The only way to trade him is for him to get back to playing how he was at the Bucks.

Yup. Not sure how I feel about this. How can we up his value if he doesn't play?

Gotta admit I liked Bender more than Chriss right around draft time. But I kinda like them more on the same level now, I just wish Bender would be given as much exposure as Chriss is having when he returns

We cant. No one traded for him at the deadline, so no one will trade for him if he is just sitting on the bench racking up DNP's

Why the DNP tonight then? I'm scratching my head on that one. We can't pay a guy that much to mope around.
