12/17 - 12/30 Games Discussion Thread

[The 24th Letter]

Bucks and Lakers just had to kill the streak vs. streak storyline for Friday's matchup.

Hornet's young players continue to impress man. No way I'd even have them at 13-17 to start the year. They are legitimately fun to watch. If they can find a way to unload those ugly Batum, MKG contracts they'd be in a really good spot going forward.

The game is tomorrow on TNT. One of the two teams is going to have a "dreaded" two game losing streak. Since the Lakers don't play again until Sunday, I expect heavy minutes for Bron and AD if one team isn't up by 20+ to start the 4th.

Maybe Coach Bud won't do it in the regular season no matter what, but I would like to see if we could force Giannis to play 40 minutes in game as a side challenge.

Is Davis playing on Thursday?

AD got a rest game, so I'm sure he'll go longer minutes if needed. Bron looked gassed by the end of the first quarter last night so not sure what to expect from him there. Vogel might play him his normal minutes, but it might not be pretty lol.

Interested in seeing how the Lakers try to match up, does AD defend Giannis most of the night? Has he tried that in the past with New Orleans?

I think he was wanting to go last night, so unless they feel like he really shouldn't go I would expect him to play.

I think Kuzma is out again. Feels like he's played about 2 meaningful minute games this season. Working back from injury and then rust, and then all the little stuff like this that's popped up since then.

I would’ve been pissed if I was an AD fan then for holding him out.

“Ankle injury”.. I think he was probably fine though and will play tomorrow. I could be wrong.

Just wanted to show this inbound play from last night. Is there even a name for what Spencer did. We can't call that screen the screener right?

Do the Nets have any national televised games this season?
