Goal of the game: No more injuries!

If Ennis is out and Bacon is starter, then only 4 more games to be the leading starter.

[basketballRob]

Wagner matches Bamba's 3 year total of starts tonight.

Must lose game!

Get ready for a lot of sizzling Bacon action.

[basketballRob]

Sounds like they may be tired Monday night against the Pistons. 4 games in 6 nights, in 4 different cities.

Ennis' calf is sore. He should just shut it down. No sense in risking an Achilles injury.

Let's Go Magic!

I wouldn't mind Wagner back on a non-guaranteed league minimum deal next year.

He's not completely useless.

Chicago may tank the rest of the games, since Lavine and Vuc are both out now.

Why is Vuc out?

[thelead]

Bacon instead of Ennis is the perfect tank move

Why is Vuc out?

Hip, says at least until May 3rd.

Yikes this has potential to be one of the most disastrous trades in recent years...

I don't think so, would suck if it doesn't convey this year, but next year is also fine, very unlikely someone with current odds gets too 3/4 two years in a row.

Also getting WCJ and dumping Aminu still good right now.

It'll certainly make lotto night more nervy for sure!

[KillMonger]

see this is what i'm talking about....clifford wants us playing this slow....just walking the ball up with no urgency 8 second violation....you're young.....speed it up a bit.....i'm so tired of playing this slow

[fendilim]

I dont understand this PF/C combination. I think Wagner would fit well with WCJ and Hall with Bamba.

A Bamba and Wagner frontcourt gives you two outside shooting big without interior presence on offense. Hall and Bamba might work better. Hall brings the motor and toughness and allows Bamba to float outside.
