Scabs didn't play well, but starters had this at 15 when they came out.


Held them to 45 points in the second half until they scored 6 in the last minute.

I think this is 5 out of 6 bets now that've won after waiting for the early part of the game to tank the spread.

Hopefully they got enough mustard left in the tank for tomorrow. At least Denver will be in the same boat. That altitude, tho

Naz should. Ant's a bull--he should too. don't know about rudy though. he played 38 plus minutes tonight and he didn't seem too enthused about the game when he was talking to horton.

smh, this kinda scares me. When we play a good team, it will be too late to get hot after half time.

They're bordering on play-in territory. I can't imagine they'd be tanking here.

It's a more of a thing against piss poor teams. The team is usually pretry locked in against good competition.

the second unit/team depth has been the key to this team's success after the all-star break imo.

Once Ant starts getting calls, he's gonna be hitting 40pts on the regular. Tonight showed us a glimpse of that.

It's a team game, Reid was -15 and Jaden finished -10. It's almost getting to the point where you have to start thinking about starting NAW over Jaden.

the starters were bad in the first quarter. i don't know if i want to take nickeil out of that second unit rotation. btw, dane was talking up jaden's defense against the suns and lakers.

Agreed.... To a point. If you put all the stars on the bench in as starters, you don't have anyone coming off the bench to create a spark.

But maybe Jaden coming off the bench against other bench players is what he needs. Slightly less competition to get him going.


Orrrr.. maybe he just feels like he's gotten paid, so he doesn't have to try as hard.

His offense has always been hit or miss. I feel when when wants to get buckets, it shows. Many time he's just moving the ball around though on offense. As far as defense, he's been pretty good IMO without fouling out.

We shot 15 more free throws than the Wiz. Can you imagine being the Lakers and have that happen every game? How the fuck do you lose?
