He expects Skal and Fox will get their first starts of the season. Color me excited

 

[SLAB]

I wish Kosta was also resting.

No.

 

[Section 101]

The whole team is resting tonight because they aren't playing.

 

[kingsboi]

resting tomorrow you mean, and it's not a night game either. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole lot more "rest" games for the likes of Hill & slow-bo

[King Baller]

Can't trade Free Agents signee's until Dec. 15th.

You're no fun!

Do we have a back to back otherwise color me suspicious...not expecting a trade but who knows the real reason. Practice chippy-ness? They seem to all get along but Zbo had some issues his last year in Memphis under Fizdale when Fix started bringing him off the bench.

i wouldn't make a big deal of it. they both need a breather and Hill specifically needs to gather himself and remember who the heck he even is. Looking
like Jason hart out there is unacceptable

 

[Larry89]

It's game 5 of the season after two days rest.... I am very suspicious

Makes no sense unless there is something else going on. Especially when they announce it the day before the game.

 

[gunks]

My theory is that this is a test run. The FO wants to see if Fox and Skal are ready to start.

If Hill and Z-bo are "resting" it doesn't seem like a demotion to the bench, Joerger's pecking order is maintained.

If Fox and Skal play great tomorrow, THEN it'll get interesting! Will Joerger shake up the rotation? Will Hill and Z-bo get shipped out? Stay tuned. ...

My god, bunch of conspiracy theorists in here. Again, Joerger told us about this weeks ago. He said instead of trying to play 11-12 a night, he would periodically rest the veterans. This happens to be one of those nights.

Oh, and guess what, the Wizards will probably have 4 players suspended, 3 of which are rotational players/starters.

other than Beal, who else do you think could possibly be suspended?

Oubre will get the most games. He threw haymakers, even though most of them hit Wall. Morris and Felix left the bench, so those 4 are pretty much for sure out.

Hmmmm, I wasn't aware of this. I like it. Seems like a good way to "cheat" his own system of making the kids earn it (which I do think is a valid way to develop players).

Man, if I could 200 times like the OP

Same story.....

 

[KingsSelecao]

If The Kings can somehow beat the Wizards. Skal and Fox will have earned their way into the starting rotation. Maybe?

Will be tough. Wizards coming off 2 losses in a row.

 

[kingdivac]

I guess Joerger wants to subtract variables for a night.

 

[Kingz19]

Rest?

Maybe for Z-Bo but I hope Hill is meeting a head doctor. Dude seems out of it

 

[KingsSelecao]

Hill has checked out. He got paid.

But it's 5 games in.... Mid season I wouldn't bat an eye, but 5 games in? Who needs rest that early.

 

[kingdivac]

Joerger is apparently on a short leash or perhaps this is part of a contingent plan, and/or the organization are not waiting around to see what they have.... forget "wading into the water" or "the training wheels" as Jones put it.

This was gonna be my guess.. Resting is just an easy way to play the two young guys and not have to tell Zbo he's benched.

 

[SLAB]

He found Ramon Sessions secret stash of yesteryear.

I wonder what it is about Sacramento and vets coming here to die. Before the easy excuse was BECAUSE DEMARCUS SOMEHOW (hi Grant), but obviously that can't be used anymore.

Hopefully it's just a slump, and he'll be his workmanlike self before too long... & I've heard too many good things about Hill's character to believe he's checked out because of his money. ZBo on the other hand...
