    MDA will still play Tucker 48 minutes at Center instead of Hartenstein

    Let's not get too excited about Hartenstein, MDA has Clemons coming in and possibly starting the 5.

    Regular season is so meaningless as long as we can make it in...

    Too much mileage. Thanks Mike DAntoni, should've played the bench more minutes, to spread out these minutes.

    Deadly Injury Duo Keith Jones and Mike DAntoni are doing a Fantastic job resting and losing games.

    Proper treatment, less minutes are foreign to Keith Jones and Mike DAntoni.

    The Extreme High Minutes of Last Year is Hurting James Harden physically, it was really taxing to watch Last Year James getting pounded while driving to the basket. 38 - 42 minutes, while Paul, Gordon, Capela were all injured for 35 games.

    It’s not meaningless. Our chances improve with getting better matchups. Home court I feel like is not as big of a deal but I would rather be in the clipper bracket instead of the lakers.

    We will not be healthy come play-off time and it will be MDA's ass that's going to hang for it.

    I hope Harden doesn't play. Let him rest and get better. Let's write this off as a loss and move on to the next.

    Given that MDA is being forced out anyway (not that I'm complaining)…….yeah, could be.

    Even if we lose, If Ihart radio can continue his domination in starts, he could see a drastic uptick in his trade value. A 20/14/4 game would very nice to Washington if we go after Bertans or Wagner. Ihart is really the only thing that excites me about this season because he's our only decent trade chip.

    Don’t play any starters. No way to win this one. Utah is playing well and it’s in their house.

    Just take the L and move on. Forfeit the damn game if you can. Haha
