Going for 2 in a row. Ant's absence needs to be the reset button and last night was a good start. This should be a win, no excuses. I'm looking for good rhythm and tempo, not distortion or feedback loops. 8-)

With their top four scorers out "injured", and five of their top 6, the leading scorer for Utah is the always dangerous Brice Sensabaugh at 13.5 PPG. Here are the 3-point shooting averages of the 5 players they started last game:

Williams 24%
Sensabaugh 35%
Harkless 24%
Collier 28%
Garcia 11%

This is a bad team, and we have no excuse to not blow them out early. Finchy only played 8 guys last night, but I'll predict at least 2 of Clark, Shannon, and Conley play 10+ minutes tonight.

I agree that Finch will expand the rotation tonight.

I see Joan and Zyon should be available tonight. NAZ is Questionable, as is Clark.

Thx for the update, Tim. I was surprised this morning when I didn't see Naz on the injury list...I'd like to see him take a night off to rest his ankle and shoulder. Is Freeman available to pick up some PF minutes?

That's good...we don't need him against this hapless team. Better to let him heal up for Portland. Hopefully Freeman is with the club to provide some size up front. Kyle can also defend PFs and still handle PG duties on offense.

Randle, SloMo, and even Jaden can all play the 4. Not sure why Freeman would play other than during garbage time (was he even called up??). Beringer has been excellent of late in the G-League and averaging well over 30 MPG. He should be sharp and ready to go as Rudy's backup with the other guys filling the need at the 4 and 3.

How intentional can Finch be about staggering Ant and Julius? That is the way.
