Hopefully the last road game for our top 6. Weird scheduling having @MIL sandwiched between 6 home games. Just send the backups to Milwaukee next Tuesday and let main guys stay back in Boston.

I think our loss early this season was also a league pass game in Charlotte on a Monday lol. JT made this comment over the summer and then when the Hornets beat us their fans were quite pleased about it. So let's not do that again imo.

So, what players and how much would you like to see them play?? Or if it is easier, who do you want to rest?

Post #5 » by **bisme37** » Sun Mar 31, 2024 9:24 pm

Jaylen says his hand is bothering him among other things so I'm thinking he'll be out tomorrow.

TAKE CARE OF **** BUSINESS QUICKLY AGAINST THESE DREGS!

Then play intense PO basketball WITH our Top 6 VS 2 quality teams (the THUNDER & the KINGS) on Wed & Fri!

I liked what Joe had to say (and his attitude) in his post-Pelicans presser- Time will tell.

Bring the D all game.
No dumb, slow paced hero ball by JT & #7 in Q4 - if close down the stretch.
Rather, mix in more KP-DWhite action - w JT & #7 on the move!

EDIT:

NEW MAGIC NUMBERS AS OF COB ON SUN 3/31/2024:

Thunder 3 (who came from way back VS the Knicks - SGA hit gamewinner - both teams missed 10 FTS).
Wolves 2
Nuggets 2

Mark Williams, Ball, Poku, Martin, and Curry all OUT for Hornets. We catch another team on B2B. Cs with another rest advantage game. The OKC game will be too. Put these guys away early. No reason we can't even if Brown and KP sit.

Certainly looks like KP and JB will sit this one out. In theory, this team does not need them tonight. But then again...stranger things have happened.

Less than 12 hours until tipoff. Butterflies in stomach, guys. Biggest game of the season.

Must win game. Or this **** hole will be insufferable again.

it all comes down to this
one game
one shot
one chance

Tatum for 50
but it's an L :nod:

actually disappointed not to see LaMelo play, never really thought I'd say that
CHA should get packaged up and shipped off to Seattle IMO.

They should just be running " late game " 4th quarter plays every single play after a Charlotte bucket to see what consistently generates good looks every time although against Charlotte they probably get a good look no matter what they run..
