There was talk about Dame and/or Ant missing this game so that they're available the next night in New Orleans.

Probably better for them to play and then rest when a win is secured. 3-1 on the road trip gives us a chance to lose the remaining two games and still be in a good spot. Or maybe give them extended rests during the game and allow guys like Shae and Nas to get more minutes. Pelicans will also be on a back to back, so if Dame and Ant are fully healthy now, I don’t think they should sit them out. Wasn’t Ant suppose to be on a mins restriction yesterday? He ended up playing 32 mins.

i think dame really wants to go at CJ.

you know if it's up to him, he would play 35-40 mins every game but we also need to be smart about it so that he's at his peak after April.

Hey....know what the difference is between a blowout win and a one point walk off buzzer beater?

Absolutely nothing......except to fans. I want a W. That is all.

is it ironic that something sounding profound can also be something stupid?
