    Are they nasty on the boards? Haven’t watched any games of theirs so I’m curious.

    we are gonna have to come in ready to rebound, they will destroy us if we do not make a concerted effort on the glass.

    Somehow, someway Brook Lopez has become a tough cover for most bigs. Often times he’s just trailing the ball handler and ends up getting an open look from three because the opposing big is just waiting in the paint. Our switch defense should be able to prevent this but this also means that Capela may have to check Giannis from time to time.

    They are bound to slip. They play hard and are well coached but they lack the talent to compete for a top 4 seed. My suspicion is they will start to fall after the trade deadline amd all star break.

    Giannis will most likely feast tonight. They’ll need to keep the other guys contained more than anything.

    Can we make Lopez look like Jokic and Kanter out there? Curious to see that.

    Giving us love so the next time we lose they can hit us with the "YOU CANNOT TRUST JAMES HARDEN AND THE ROCKETS! CHOKERS!" headline

    I’ll be getting there early today. But my friend won’t be so early. I have both tickets on my flash seats account.

    Can I scan both tickets and get 2 bobble heads and two tickets printed at the gate so I can give my friend the bobble head and tix whenever he comes?

    Oh, and beware of the Giannis "coming from the corner to help" block, they are cool against everyone else in the league, hope not to see it tonight

    Don't think so. Tickets are only good for one entry through the gates. For instance, you can't go through, leave, and come back, because they have no way of knowing if you cheated (e.g. you already got two ppl in).

    You can definitely leave a ticket at Will Call for him, but doubtful you can use it to get a Bobblehead, then go back and leave it at Will Call.

    Utah has been playing a ridiculous amount of Away games.

    Also, lulz at nearly every East team being under the midline the whole season.

    Offense is great, but the defense needs to improve if we want to beat these Bucks. We're still not even a top-25 ranked defense.
