We have to go beyond 9 tonight.

Given that this is a back to back with a late finish in game 1, who do you think will see the floor tonight that hasn't seen the floor so far this year?

Who do you think will rest?

I think a lot of us are pondering this, Leado. I shouldn't be overconfident against a team that has Wemby, but the Spurs without Vassell and Jones are not good. We might finally get the blowout Finchie needs to employ his bench. That said, I think Conley gets a night off after playing 26 minutes last night and hopping on a plane. So either NAW or DiVo gets the start and Rob gets some backup minutes. Beyond that I think Finchie still needs this win, and Josh, Shannon and Garza only see the court if the victory cigar is lit. I don't think Finchie wants to drop to 3-3, so he's going to go all out to win this one.

The skeptic in me says we won't even see 9! NAW or DiVo get the start, Jingles finally sees more than a token 5 minutes, and a few others of the 8-man rotation will see a few extra minutes.

There isn't much about our play this year that makes me think we win in a blowout...
