I wouldn’t kick Nick out of bed but he is a classic good stat big who can’t play D

He’s enormous. You wouldn’t get any sleep.

Maxey’s playing. Don’t know yet about PG-13.

It’s bad that he’s hurt enough to miss a game. But it’s good that we’re not forcing him to play. This is exactly the kind of game where we should be able to get by with the Precious/Sims/Huk pu pu platter.

Counterpoint: We have been beyond awful where KAT doesn’t play. Whatever his defensive weaknesses, the dropoff between him and his substitute is cataclysmic. Last time we lost to ORL at home with their best 4 players out, one of the worst losses of the season.

Predicting a loss tonight as they put some long guy on Brunson and he hero balls us to a 6-7 point early deficit that we’re too tired to overcome while some low 30’s shooter bags open three after open three.

Basically two seconds for Richards right? We could’ve topped that, but I guess we’re really saving every last bullet. Totally fair, but better make them count eventually.

Okogie isn’t terrible. I’d wait to see if there are any protections. There may be some bullshit in there like our top-55 protected Detroit 2nd this year. Then again, they’re only 4.5 games behind us to get pick 56.

If Huk doesn’t get at least 24 minutes, I might have to consider resigning from the Let’s Not Fire Thibs Quite Yet Club.

Why are you not counting Okogie?

Sims has been out due to back spasms recently, he may not be available unless you’ve heard otherwise
