    Spurs won last night. Let’s not fumble this away. The responsible thing to do is to sit our starters and play the guys who haven’t played much this season so they can show something in the final couple of games. TyTy and our G-league two-way guys deserve to play. Lots of JC and Garuba. That kind of thing. ;)

    Hornets won 3 games then lost the most recent three. In their most recent loss they started the following:

    Theo Maledon (g)
    Svi Mykhailuk (g)
    Bryce McGowens (f)
    JT Thor (f)
    Nick Richards (c)​

    They marked the following people as INACTIVE:
    LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier, Dennis Smith Jr., Cody Martin, Gordon Hayward, P.J. Washington.
    ​
    Some are legit injuries but not others: ....

    "The Hornets (26-54) are without eight players due to injury: LaMelo Ball (right ankle surgery), Gordon Hayward (left thumb sprain), Kelly Oubre Jr. (left shoulder sprain), Terry Rozier (right foot injury), Dennis Smith Jr. (right toe sprain), P.J. Washington (right foot sprain) and Mark Williams (left ankle sprain)"​

    Like our final opponent Wizards, who in their recent game also stopped playing 6 or their top 8 players with most played minutes this season. Also full tank mode.

    ... Do you think Silas will start our usual starters?

    SAS is one game behind us.
    HOU 20-60
    SAS 21-59​

    We're at the risk of losing our floor: 6th pick down to the 7th pick, if SAS overtake us.

    Competition is fine, but if the other team is starting their bench; are those wins really meaningful?

    Rocket fans tonight....

    It's game day, baby! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

    [​IMG]

    It's looking more and more like Jarace Walker is going 4th so I don't care if we're 6th, 7th, 8th... I want Anthony Black if we're picking that far back. So...... JUST WIN, BABY! WOOOOO!

    Nobody (except for Jae'Sean Tate) on the injury list. Cool.

    Trying to focus on the fact it is the last few times we will see the team until October as well. Hope we can get a lot of positives without hurting our odds.

    Bench the starters. Dallas, Portland, San Antonio are doing it. Why aren’t we?

    I ask u my rocket brothas and sistas. What good does it do to beat a crappy Hornets team tonight and jeopardize finishing with the second best odds in the draft? Seriously, I prefer to see growth over tanking but with 2 games left, I don’t see a rational argument for playing our starters.
