All Eyes On Me

Keep in mind that we have pretty substantial evidence that we’ll be sitting Isaac, Fultz and Harris for injury maintenance tomorrow night, and assumedly Franz will still be out.

It was a bad night for us, but silver lining is we still control our own fate. If we win out we’re the 2 or 3 seed. I think if we just win one more of the next 3 we’ll avoid the play-in, but 2-1 guarantees it without needing a loss from Philly, Miami, and Indiana. The boys need to be a lot better than they were tonight to pull it off tho, even if Milwaukee will more than likely be without Giannis.

We need to win 2 of the next 3 I think. It would take us losing out to land in the play-in, but we definitely have the schedule and injuries on the roster to do it

We lose. Everyone else we’re competing with in the East wins. Bad night. On to the next one

I hate Fred VanVleet

Fultz starting with Franz out. Fultz/Suggs/GH/Paolo/WCJ

Franz out, Isaac in. Franz apparently was a shoot around this morning, so hopefully he’s not out as long as the last ankle sprain.

We need to be rooting for them to break their skid tonight against Boston

Yeah, I’m more nervous than I should be about still winding up in the play-in. I think we just need to go 2-2 in the last 4 and we’ll be fine, but after tonight the Bucks (x2) and Sixers games are gonna be full on playoff games. Bucks tomorrow night where we’re banged up and on the 2nd night of a back to back is pretty much a penciled in L.

I’d think we’d be a lot more likely to reintroduce AB to the rotation and possibly shorten the rotation if both Isaac and Franz are out. Not to downplay Franz’ injury, but the ankle sprain didn’t really look bad compared to his last one. Maybe he surprises us.

Franz MRI came back positive for an ankle sprain but nothing worse. He’s questionable tomorrow, but I doubt he plays. Honestly wouldn’t shock me if we sat him down for the rest of the regular season. Kid needs the rest anyway. Crickets on JI, but he didn’t play in the 2nd half last night cause his back was sore. He’ll definitely miss at least one of the next two cause we have our last back-to-back of the season. Gotta imagine same with Harris and Fultz.

It’s like Jeff Turner said last night, this time of year it’s important to jump on the teams that have nothing to play for early. If you don’t, you wind up with games like the Charlotte and Portland games we’ve had over the past week

It’s tricky with the Rockets because they’re pretty much locked in the standings no matter what happens. No benefit in tanking, no harm in winning. I agree with you, I hope we get a young team that has quit on the year and their heart is already in Cancun.

Yeesh, you’re not wrong. Everybody else were competing with outside of Milwaukee has like one possible tough matchup left, some don’t even have that. We just need to win 2 to avoid the play-in. Tomorrow night against Houston has to be a W with how Philly is surging and now we need to expect to get a desperate Milwaukee team to close out the season.

Rockets lose and Dubs win. Curious to see how motivated Houston is on Tuesday. They’re officially eliminated from playoff contention

Great win that we controlled from the get-go. Kelle rounding into form right on time. Hopefully Franz and JI aren’t long term, especially Franz. I’m getting more and more worried about his ankles. Can’t take this season for granted. One of the youngest squads in the league and we’re 46-32 and still have a very legitimate path to the 2 seed. Unreal. Staff and team deserve a ton of credit. Let’s finish strong and avoid that stupid play-in tournament! Last note, think the league needs to bring back the rule from the bubble. I’m okay with the play-in IF the 9-10 seeds are within 4 games of the 7-8. If that rule was in place right now, the top 8 in the East would just make the playoffs like they’ve earned.

Big day. 2nd to last home game of the season, we need a W. Knicks play the Bucks today and Heat play the Pacers. I’d like to see a Heat and Knicks L I think, but pretty much all results are at least somewhat a win-win for us as long as we take care of business. Let’s go Magic!

Bulls beat the Knicks, Heat and Pacers win.. the Bucks have lost 3 in a row to Washington, Memphis and Toronto (WTF?!)… we didn’t do ourselves any favors and the 6-8 seeds have had a good night catching up to the 2-5 seeds. It’s gonna be a stressful next week because we can’t seem to get out of our own way

Just a garbage night… oh well, hopefully it doesn’t burn us, but this should’ve been a win

I admit I’m not watching the game, but it seems like every time I look it’s either a 9 point game or a 15 point game. Just a bad loss in an important situation where we needed to win. Damn shame that we didn’t actually learn from the Blazers game.

And JI hasn’t played despite not being listed on any injury reports. We chose to take the opponent lightly tonight and it’s biting us in the ass

Just a disappointing effort on the road against a team we should beat who isn’t trying to win. Hopefully we pull off a comeback, but color me skeptical

Giving up 41 points in the first quarter to this **** team is a special kind of frustrating

We have to have the worst free throw percentage on technical free throws in league history

Would love to get to the bottom of why we suck pretty much every first quarter
