Sitting Dwight is the right move. Asik is playing well in his absence, plus not having Dwight out there will avoid giving the Lakers something to play for. I do hope he can go tomorrow night in Denver though. The team is bound to be exhausted having to play less than 24 hours later in that altitude.
I'm currently in LA for work and am thinking about going to tonight's game. Are the starters going to play? I don't want to pay for a ticket to watch a pre-season game.
Shout outs if you don't know what Harden is going to show but you know what Lin is going to show up (not linsanity)
Dwight and Bev certainly aren't but you can't go wrong with spending money to watch the Turkish Tornado.

When the team clinches the 4th seed. It should provide plenty of incentive to play hard on this road trip and try to get all 3 games. Then they can sit for the Pelicans(twice) and Spurs. Although I do hope Howard and Bev get some playing time in those games. Oh, wait. I have tickets to this Saturday's game against New Orleans. Don't rest everybody, McHale.:grin:
I noticed Casspi and Hamilton have basically been benched the last few games, our playoff rotation is basically 6-7 players
I can really see Asik being a difference maker, he forces so many misses at the rim without fouling, it's pretty impressive, I think he actually gets called more for offensive fouls (illegal screen) than defensive fouls
D-Mo has almost completely disappeared on offense and defense these past 5 games. Hopefully McHale can give him some minutes vs. scrub teams to boost his confidence before the playoffs. He's stopped taking 3's that made him a threat earlier in the season.
Casspi needs to get some burn at PF again, it's his spot and he just needs to stay within the offense, not think he's Harden!!
