This never happens, I swear!

Status note: Nic Claxton (knee) available to play Sunday.

Nevermind, it is I who might have to call a doctor. Because I’m gonna have to wait a couple games, but ohhhhh boy.

3rd and final hot take

De’Aaron Fox scores at least 55 on FD

Tyler Johnson (adductor) ruled out Sunday.

That’s a hot one after they ran him out there 40 minutes last night. I thought the same thing initially, but man… it’s tough.

Brendan doesn’t even own a camera.

This Windler cat is projecting better than Facundo…. I am not sure I buy it

Also I like a Kawhi vs BKN + Fox combo to go with Giannis rather than the Jokic/MPJ the LineupHQ is selling

I am with you on both takes.

BKN has been pretty good defensively/improving of late.

I think it’s Serge and Kawhi

Bagley last night asked to keep playing against his minute restriction and in the Sacramento newspaper it says at the end of the game he had soreness in Achilles . On that note no clue what to do with Bagley

https://t.co/Zizy6pbx3s article on Bagley

Bjelica has had some games vs MIL and he profiles as that big shooter that gives them trouble

Last one. The first one was from our 5 year anniversary last year at The W in Costa Rica. Always gotta take 100 pictures and redo them for the proper angles.

does Jabari get more run tonight?

Brendan, I think between what you’ve said, others have said, we’ve all got a pretty clear picture of what’s going on. Time to move on. Plus, those are definitely fake, right?

We still don’t even know if Barnes or Holmes are playing, so I think we need to be careful with anything Kings related.

I’d be hesitant on Bagley or Jabari or even Bjelica as is. I’m be extremely hesitant on Bagley if either played, and probably rule Bjelica out if either played, and I sure as hell am not playing Jabari if either play.

There’s a reason they announced GR3 out, and not the other 2 yet. My guess is at least one plays.

Shouldn’t Bazley abuse Cedi? For whatever reason they didn’t run him that much last game and I can’t figure it out, but assuming he’s not in the doghouse or something, I don’t see that working out for the cavs.

Barnes got ruled out

Shake back does that make Thybulle unplayable?? I used him in a few for salary relief

I would say it makes him close to unplayable and definitely not as good as some of the other punts.

When and where?

My bad questionable that teams a nightmare tonight

Where are you seeing that?
