This is a big game for the tank. I hope Hardy has the team ready to fire on all cylinders.

Lauri is out. Nurk/Cody/Love questionable

We need 42 minutes of hendricks.

Need to bring Tonje up. He basically stinks.

This. I don't understand playing Lauri 42 minutes in a tank year. Play him mid 20s and develop your talent...or play Hendricks. I actually feel bad for Taylor. He was a different player pre-injury.

Nurk and Love officially out if we lose this one we will only be a game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings!

So Lauri getting minutes isn't developing his talent, but if Hendricks gets them it is?

If it's a question of tanking sure, but there's no universe where Taylor should be getting minutes over Lauri in any capacity if we are concerned about development.

Hendricks does not have talent to develop. He wasn't a different player pre injury. He's the same player, bad, just with less bounce.

Would still be two games ahead in the win column.

I don’t think we’re catching them but we just need to keep losing games, period.

Brice wasn't worth developing until he was. Cody wasn't worth developing until he was. You said it was a waste of time to give those guys minutes. Should we have just benched them forever? For a guy who loves to pivot, I think you should be open to the idea than an opinion can change and you shouldn't be so definitive.

And again, what is the cost of playing him? Man what a disaster it would be if Kyle Anderson doesn't get minutes.
