    My guess is Swanigan will get Ed’s minutes Sunday. Since it’s memphis I’d give all of pats minutes to Baldwin. Send a message to him at least.

    This is an ideal game to get the swish3 scoring attack on track for the playoffs. In the best scenario, there will be more substitutions with enough playing time to find an enhanced off-the-bench scoring strategy that can win upcoming games.

    I went with Leonard because he plays well against Gasol at times but really. Why not continue to see what Biggie can do?

    I think he was wondering who would catch it.

    Because Meyers is making 45% of his swish3s and Biggie is making <20%. I would play both of them in upcomning games, but instruct Biggie to not try swish3s until he is confident of making at least 40% of them in real game competition.

    It was a test to see if people read his game threads.

    It had hidden Easter eggs. Did you see the B-Roy reference?

    This Dark guy has skills in both art and software. He must be one confused mental motherfucker. He should demand 1000 preferred shares from Denny.

    Saw B-Roy but missed 'Glass Knees'. Nice work @Darkwebs

    Davis may be okay by tomorrow but I'd almost rather see him rest and make sure it is good. Play Meyers when Gasol is in and Nurkic is out and throw Biggie in there the rest of the time. I'd really like to see a revenge blowout and see some PapaG.

    And PLEASE play B4 in stead of Pat.

    I'm kind of hoping the Blazers take this game and play the best available. Then go get a win against Dallas also if possible. That leaves 4 really nice games at the end of the season they can play guys like Baldwin plenty of minutes. Let him learn when they don't need the win against good teams. A couple of which will be playing for playoff positioning.

    More minutes for Nurk and Collins, unless it's a blowout.

    More minutes for Nuk/Collins may help it become a blowout.
