    So, Dame/Ant/Hart/Winslow/Eubanks, with Sharpe/Little/Walker/Watford. I hope Sharpe embraces the instant offense off the bench role tonight, 'cause I don't think anyone else can.

    think all this is preventative.

    we are a good enough team to be able to sustain this kinda stuff to and still beat a 3-8 team that has lost 5 straight.

    also, i love the kinda reps this potentially gives to deserving guys like watford/walker. building their confidence is only gonna make us better in the long run.

    Man this team is so injury prone it’s only been 10 games and we’ve had guys miss tons of games already

    So, who's the unexpected player that's going to go off against us in the first half and piss off a bunch of people in this thread?

    This is obvious load management. Team clearly thinks they are good enough to avoid having to play some of their main guys on both nights of a back to back against a bad team.

    Dame even said during last game's postgame that he would have played both PHX games if they gave him the option.

    Might start out flat, to be honest. Dame and Ant are the only two "shooters" in the starting lineup. Can't imagine the spacing being great. But, Billups has earned my trust. Let's do this.

    It's not like we have a lot of PF/C options on this roster. Watford can't shoot either.

    he had 15 points on 38% shooting (33% from three). Clearly far from the scrubs going off for 30 points games against us in seasons past

    Kyle Lowry shot better than average against Portland but didn't take enough shots to say "went off" I think.
