7 spot is our ceiling. OKC will tank the last 10. And Minny will slide without Ant.

I’m not so sure. We’ve been saying OKC and UTA will tank for a while now. Those players aren’t trying to lose and management isn’t sitting them
 


I imagine we'll get an update at the end of the week. I don't think we're seeing him back on the court before April.
 
Part of me wants to say he was conserving energy for Phoenix, the other part doesn’t even care anymore. He had to sit back and let AR get MVP chants. He better drop 40 and 20 tomorrow.

It’s tough rn because most of AD’s minutes are with Vando and/or Beasley, two players in their own offensive slumps. I like the Ad/Gabriel pairing recently on defense but on offense it’s a little tough as well.

Maybe give him more minutes with Rui? Idk.
 
April 2nd @HOU makes the most sense.
Listening to the Haynes and Stein podcast, Haynes focused on April 7th vs the Suns for Bron's return. That only leaves two games for him to ramp up.

Ideally he would return for the T'Wolves game on March 31.
 
Darvin has to do simple **** like take Beasley out when he’s being as useless as he was. I think you still start him but if he’s gonna go 0-3 or 0-4 from 3, you bench him. No reason he should get 30 minutes playing like that

If Max Christie comes in and do the same thing, at least he’ll play some defense
 
Clearly they thought we’d beat both OKC and Hou without AD. But we can’t beat LAC without him so he’ll play
 
Glad to get the win last night but it's disheartening that We could barely beat Orlando on the second night of a back-to-back while playing at home.

I really didn't like the energy I saw from the starters, especially Anthony Davis. Without a career game from Austin We likely lose this game.

 
Schedule for the next week:

Warriors: @Rockets, @Mavs, vs Sixers, vs T'Wolves
Thunder: @Clippers, @Clippers, @Lakers, @Blazers
T'Wolves: @Knicks, vs Hawks, @ Warriors, @ Kings
Jazz: vs Kings, vs Blazers, vs Bucks, @ Kings, vs Suns
Pelicans: vs Spurs, vs Hornets, @Clippers, @Blazers
Lakers: vs Suns, vs Thunder, vs Bulls
 
If the Lakers had beaten the Mavs (no guarantee they beat the magic but let’s assume they do), we’d be in sole possession of the 6th seed :rollin
