It is a shame because suns has a nightmare schedule coming up, and we have the kings/suns/mavs/GS playing each other coming up. |
rest bron vs bucks |
Definitely, I’d rest AD too unless they rest Giannis/dame |

Tough to beat an elite offensive team with your lead guard injured. Thankfully we picked up Dinwiddie who can run an offense, score, and play some defense. I think he did well, but I am looking forward to DLo coming back soon.
Tuesday is the next one, and it will be tough. Let's keep the winning streak going |

yup, they need it for the next push, it will be a bad tactic if they will rest bron vs grizz instead. damn

Not to forget 87 points by AD, Lebron, AR to go alongside Spencer’s master class performance!!! |

This pacers team is legit.
Plus when Siakam looked like 2019 Championship Spicy P tonight.
Huge loss for them with Benedict Mathurin out for the season.
( Kogi Taco truck >>> Jack in he crack)

Game ball Spencer
Now ..
46 point quarter.
18 points in 2 and 1/2 minutes in crunch.
Word to Ham. It's not " tip your hat". It's crap team defense and coaching it. |

| The Lakers could finish 10+ games over .500 and still only be the 9th seed. Last year the 4th seed was 8 games over .500. The west is a nightmare this year. Needing to win 2 play-in games just to get in the playoffs will be tough. |

Yeah, we would be top 4 and load managing bron and AD in the east at this point. |

No doubt. He has always had game. It was just a matter of acclimating himself with the team, system, coaches, etc. Very nice pickup. He's a baller |

LG is so damn fickle. Tonight Dinwiddie is a hero, tomorrow why in the hell did we get him? Y'all crack me up.

It starts with the coach...smh. He lets him be a REAL PG? no problem.
He do the same dumb stuff of playing him as a 3 and D guy? Then you going to hear fans say he sucks and why did we get him. |

I give some ownness to Darvin. I've been critical of his lineups and rotations all season. I've given him some slack because this is his 1st head coaching job. He's learning. Unfortunately, it's been at the expense of some players.

Ham tends to do this alot, small guard back-courts seem to be a fetish for him |

rest bron vs bucks |
I expect a win in that game no matter who plays for either side so if he needs a rest, it’s probably ok but I think it’s safer to rest against Memphis since that one is an easy win. |

That's the kind of thinking that causes losses. The Wizards are the second losingest team in the NBA and they took us to a 134-131 OT W. Do not play down to the opposition.

Recap: Wizards get home win over Sacramento Kings
March 21, 20249:51 PM EDT
By Chase Hughes (@chasedcsports)
The Washington Wizards beat the Sacramento Kings 109-102 on Thursday night at Capital One Arena. Here are three things that stood out from the game...
Signature win
The Wizards (12-58) had beaten a few teams with winning records this season, but none quite as good as the Sacramento Kings (40-29), whom they held off on Thursday night to secure possibly their best win of the season so far. |

It is an easy win though. If LeBron or AD need a day off, that’s a golden opportunity to use it.
I think it’s much more dangerous to treat easy games as ones that LeBron needs to play 40 minutes for the Lakers to have a chance in. Of the two games, he is much more likely to be necessary against Milwaukee. |

When other guys are out, it’s a no brainer. The issue I had with the signing is that Ham seemed determined to give him minutes in favor of healthy guys who are better. |

Bron and AD don't have to play 40 minutes. They can play as many as needed. If we get a good lead and sustain it they can sit the 4th. We're at the time is the season where every game counts. A loss could mean not making the playins/offs
