Mister Slim Says:

The smart play, in my opinion, is to platoon guys early and often, because the bench isn't likely to get a ton of run against the Thunder.

So, they tried this, and it went over like a lead balloon. And they still ended up playing the starters big minutes, and now they've got to play a rested and much better Thunder team on the second night of a back-to-back...

... Which means they'll probably win.

Is the Thunder a great 3p shooting team?

SGA? Dort?

There are certain centers Sabonis doesn't do well against. Hartenstein and him seem to go back and forth (fairly evenly).

Sabonis usually gets the best of Claxton but they just crowded the pain last night. Can you blame them? Crowd paint and leave Huerter wide tf open.

Start Keon. We need as much help defending SGA as possible.

Chet is out and even still, we matched up incredibly well with OKC in the past because they just never had anyone to deal with his physicality.

Because the NBA is absolutely stupid, they let OKC plug that hole and get Hartenstein as one of the best defensive C's in basketball. So that's not even a spot we can exploit anymore.

Yeah, Brown can be incredibly slow to make a lineup change. Unless someone else above him is dictating what is happening

Unfortunately, the west waits for nobody. We can't just hold out hope that Keegan/Huerter shooting returns quickly enough to . Otherwise, that top 6 seed that's currently we're currently 2 games back of turns into 6 games back by Dec 25th.

Name of the game in the West is to just keep with the pack and make a 10-game push to secure that top 6 slot. Can't happen if we continue to falter behind.

Perfect Poll question!

Also looks like Monk intending to warm up tonight with intention to play!

The hope here is he's not rushing back because we're struggling and this sets him back even further for the rest of the season. But damn, we need him

Riding down to the game but they haven’t said anything about Monk coming in tonight that would be a great big hell yes! Ifi hear anything I’m the next ten minutes I’ll be back hahahaha
