eyriq about to go 1-3 in GTs because of our injuries.

Hope we just keep it respectable and no more injuries.
It's been a struggle. Watch us get Franz and knightro back at the same time. My On-Off numbers are going to take a beating.

VORP is also going to take a walloping.

NY has our number.

They're going to get well ahead early and if we're lucky they pull starters to not run up the score.

This game sound like it will be a beatdown. Just ready for everyone to come back. All I care about is getting through this game healthy.

Thibs don’t play that game. All their starters will get 40+ minutes for no reason.

Anyone watching this game should check themselves for self-harm. Or a gambling addiction for the thrill of watching the 1% chance of victory!

I don't expect us to beat them down. NY should keep it respectful. They have veteran coaches and players.

Cole time…I guess. I’m getting tired of hoping AB comes through.

Outmuscled. This will be painful to watch but good opportunity to learn against a physical team.

The team that regularly keeps in starters up or down 20 points with 2 minutes left?

Fair

My computer says 71.3% without Cole but 21.2% with him. Is it anything?

just play with effort....don't go out there like you took some muscle relaxers before the game

Even with a full healthy team this was a schedule loss. NY won this in July.

I like your thinking.

Cole goes for 40
TDS, since he had a bad game last game, goes for 30
