WTF..why is it so hard 2 have Gary Trent come off the bench and have Byrch start at center..I don't understand what is so special about a guy that jacks up shots when ever he has the ball in his hands...
Hey Masai I'm still waiting for Xmas gift...I want a starting Center..for the millionth time

Bench gets thinner, but I don't think it'll matter much anyway.

Maybe the beginning for Utah. We play them in a few days. Utah. Raptors. Covid. Bad Mojo.

Let's destroy them then.

Either way, really, Raps should be able to take this one no issue.

The tribe has spoken, this years survivor winner, congratulations Chris Boucher

Maybe going mask-less at a Loblaws when the pandemic first started was the secret sauce to beating this. That and Mary Browns chicken.

We should bring back Jarret Jack and Amir Johnson to replace them. Are they still with the Ignite?

I think Amir still plays for them. Jack is an assistant coach for the Suns so it will be tough to bring him back.

Hard to gauge the effect of health this year because almost every team has been hit one way or another. It’s almost like the NBA season will be re-starting from zero once the latest Covid wave rolls through.

I agree. Thats why our current position is a good position to be in compared to last season.

As I said, last season they started poorly, got their chemistry going, beat some good teams along the way to .500 and 4th seed, then fell apart with COVID.

This season, the starters barely played together, so the chemistry isn't there yet and they are sitting near .500 with everyone healthy. Knock on wood it stays that way and the team gets their chemistry going then we can see what they are capable of.

[planetmars]

Can we finally make it to .500? Feels like we're always on the cusp and then something crappy happens.

Yeah, we've had our fair share of good fortune as well this year, including tonight, the spurs will be missing their best player in Murray, as well as some other rotation pieces.
