Took a look at tickets out of curiosity. If I was inclined to go tonight and see one of the best teams in the league, I could sit in some great seats for pretty cheap:

PWC first row for $80 - I think this is a leather club chair with unlimited food and drink?

Sec 100 Row E for $79 - lower center

Sec 102 Row C for $37 - lower corner

BoxW Row FFF for $54 - behind the basket

Looks like they started Portis at PF - they finally listened to me! Well, maybe it had nothing to do with me. But they are up 14-8 early on with the big lineup.

I'm not able to watch tonight's game. Some of you probably remember in 2017, when we traded our R2 pick for Frazier, that I was critical of the move, because I was hoping to get Monte Morris with our pick (#52, if I remember right...?). In fact, Morris went #51, so we would have had to trade up....

How is Morris doing tonight? Wait, let me look at the box so far.... Pretty good! Oh well. At least we got 800 minutes out of Frazier then didn't re-sign him. Sigh....

Can you believe that Brooks played Johnson over TBJ, and here's a shocker, Bryant is a pretty good player, but anybody that has watched him play for the Wizards this season knew that already (outside of the Washington coaching staff of course).

Didn't Troy Brown Jr. start today? And while I understand the dig at our coaching staff regarding Thomas Bryant, we are the team that signed him when he was released...If you want to throw shade at a team throw it at the Lakers for cutting him.

It's nice to see Troy Brown and Thomas Bryant getting crunch time minutes.

This is basically the perfect tank game. The guys we hope to see back next year: Beal, Sato, Brown Jr. and Bryant, all played a lot and all played well, yet we're still going to take the loss.

And Beal is only going to play 36 minutes.

Bryant has had some real nice defensive plays tonight. He has been solid in the pick-and-roll.

Man the BoxW is with free food & drink too! That's a helluva deal! Screw the game, I'd be chillin in VIP the whole time getting loaded off of IPAs. :lol:

The starting lineup did great - putting Bryant in there and moving Portis to PF. The bench sucked and was blown away by Denver's bench - Green did not adjust well to coming off the bench - just one game, but that's his future - he better get used to it. And just as Parker started looking good, he puts up a stinker - shocker. Ariza was out, so why didn't Dekker play? Is he injured again, or did Brooks stupidly shorten the bench?
