    As close to a "must-win" game in January as it gets.

    @Darkwebs we don't say enough how great of a job you do on these. I may be one of the few that can understand how monotonous it can become but just know you are appreciated.

    Neil gets the majority of the blame for this whole season. Until he actually figures out how to maximize his "assets," placing blame on anyone else is pointless

    We win as a team and lost as a team... no one to blame. This game is a must win for us. I think they will be without buttler but it doenst change the fact that will be a tough game. Trust our guys for this one, undefeated at Moda this year.

    Thank you for your contribution to the forum. These are ALWAYS CLEAN ADONAL FOYLE.

    If @HCP even THINKS about making another game thread, we should be at the replay van with torches and pitchforks!

    To answer the question, I chose Stotts. Aminu (even though I was CURSING at the beginning regarding that matchup) played solid D against Jokic.

    Stotts is to blame for not making sure we got a good last shot.

    Possibly no Butler and Crawford is questionable. Should be able to beat a depleted roster and get a measure of revenge for last encounter's blowout.
