    Hoping to take this with a margin of victory most easily expressed in scientific notation.

    Let the bench play 40+ minutes. Jones should sit and rest that hip.

    Bev is traveling with the team this trip, for what that's worth.

    An important game. Denver and even Minnesota won't be easy, so don't blow the one gimme on this road trip.

    It would be devastating if we don't win by at least 20. But something tells me the Lakers will be hot and hit 45% on their threes or some BS like that. 50 points for Young.

    Win against this scrub team. Secure HCA with 3 games left then let the Bench play. Parsons needs his legs back.

    Would love for the main guys to rest the last couple games. Need to take care of business early tomorrow.

    I would let Jones sit along with Howard and Bev.

    We have to guard the 3 pt line. That's the only way they beat us.

    yes but not to the extent that it may have taken a toll though - you could easily pencil in around 5 Ls every season primarily due to injuries -- i didn't expect Asik to be out for the extended period of time he was and how Lin and Beverley were never healthy at the same time.

    that 5 game figure probably figure was more like 10 for the Rockets this season which would have placed them around 60 wins for this team which would have been crazy great. (I mean they lost 3 winnable games in a row due to injuries last week)

    As long as they are healthy going into the playoffs thats all that matters. Asik getting extended minutes right now will make him sharper in the playoffs
