No injuries so I consider that a win. Time to prepare for when the real season starts.

You mean they've been run completely run the past few years or they didn't broadcast their intentions to tank to the entire world? Or they didn't let the promising player they drafted to walk away for nothing?

Julius looked rested and healthy on the bench. One week until the playoffs. He might be good to go for the series. Even if he splits time with Obi like Hartenstein and Mitch share time

Wish we could get a look at Obi 30 mins a night for a full season before we make a decision on him...Really enjoy watching him play.

Play him at the 3, damn it.

That's what I think as well - his lack of rebounding, softness and so so defending wouldn't be as much of an issue if he played the SF spot. His leaking out, high motor and less pressure offensively (playing next to Randle) may bring out the best in both players.

I know the game was meaningless but we really need to play with more urgency, effort and IQ in the playoffs cause we'll get destroyed if we play defense like that!

Best part of the game was seeing Randle looking healthy and without a boot. I think he'll be ready to go. Praying he isn't too rusty. But Obi's play and especially his scoring in his absense makes me feel a little better.

So we ended up 47-35. Cannot complain considering everyone projected us to end up with 38-40 wins. I had us at 41 so six games better. But we could have and should have won 50. We are really good on the road so it'a not the biggest deal but you always want homecourt. Cleveland series is going to be a battle. Fully expect it to go 6 or 7. Can't wait! These times don't happen often and are never guaranteed so enjoy it guys!

He looked healthy? And you could tell that from….. what? His shirt?

No walking boot and commentators said he had no limp when walking

It's been awhile since I sprained my ankle but I remember even when I did not walk with a limp it hurt like hell to make cuts. So until he tries to make sudden cuts they won't know just how close he is to a return.

Didn't I say he might be back even for 24 mins ? That implies he might not
