Conley added to the injury report...questionable with a sore right achilles.

I'm not a referee conspiracy guy, but I do look at trends. So I'm not entirely pleased with getting John Gobel's crew tonight, especially considering it includes Ed Malloy. Gobel and Malloy are among the leaders in favoring home teams...home teams are 20-13 against the spread this season in Gobel games, and 36-26 for Malloy (the other 2 refs are more neutral). Why do gamblers look at this stat? The Pansy Factor...i.e, some referees are more intimidated by home crowds. That's going to make tonight's game even more challenging.

Conley's out, NAW starts in his place.

This could go any which way...

Don't like it. He had a nice game Sunday and we need all hands on deck. I guess we have to hope for some hellish defense right from the start with NAW and Order and Ant all on the court at the same time.

Hmm...does this perhaps open up a spot in the rotation for our 2023-4 on/off season leader? I mean, scoring more points than the Nuggets would be a good thing, right? Right???

We've had four yahners so far...any chance of a close game tonight?

I think Brunson has "Thibbed" the entire game except for 2 minutes tonight. We may need the same from Ant tonight.

This is why the team went and got Monte Morris. He is more than capable.

Damn, Conley must be hurting or I'm sure he would give it a try. Not good news at all.

Crap. Conley is really important. He's hit some big 3s, played solid D, and he's been able to get some two-man offense with Rudy (which isn't always easy).

We'll probably see plenty of SloMo tonight at the point then. Whoever is guarding him will be daring him to shoot.

All ball by Jaden on that block on MPJ. Good challenge.

Home cooking on that foul on McDaniels.
