You can defenitely tell who the real fans are in this game. The ones that watch this game and personally Im usually not even this excited to watch a game. Should be fun.

I think this is the most excited i've been for a game this season. I'm really looking forward to this game.

 

[Walter White]

Maybe its just the fact that I don't really care if we lose but know that we have the starters on the bench cheering on the players that don't usually get this oppurtunity to play in front of a packed Q....or maybe im just resting easy knowing we have the overall HCA

 

[Mandingo]

Probably not, hopefully they'll get Delonte to do it...:chuckles:

Coach Brown.

Its been a great year. No matter what happens tonight win or lose I know our guys are going to really fight. Props Thunder on the wallpaper or whatever it is. After today you should update the record on it.
I also think Delonte should do the chalk toss but, I would kill to see Wally do it. Just because its Wally. I am excited to get to see everyone play. I think the guys know theyre fighting for playoff minutes so, I think we will be pretty damn dangerous IDC who were playing.
People are giving us a hard time because were resting our players, we have earned it. Teams do this all the time I dont get why were getting ripped for it. I

Austin Carr or Max/Moondog for the chalk toss...

 

[Silky Smooth]

Is anyone else surprised that teams like the Lakers and Boston still played their stars in these last non-meaningfull games, even though they are limited minutes? I am surprised they would risk it.

Boston's last game is tonight, and Pierce (maybe others, too) won't play. Allen conveniently got last night off.

The Lakers have been limiting minutes all along for most of the last 5 games, so they didn't need as much rest. Fisher's averaged around 10 minutes for awhile.

I don't think coaches worry as much about the "risk" of injury because that is possible at any time (practice, first minute of the playoffs, playing with your kids, whatever) but instead they try to get their players rest because that is the one thing they can control. Both the Celtics and Lakers have managed to give their players some rest.

so am I. I was really pumped up even before lebron decided to sit but this just adds to the fun. Might have to kick back and break my rule of no drinking during the week, and just enjoy this game.

 

[Powerslave]

Wally will drop 50 tonight, and get 10 blocks.

 

[MikeSwim07]

I think this will be a very good game. I bet some of the rookies and others like darnell,etc will get really excited and pumped for this game. Most of the rookies don't get to play that often and it seems whenever they do play, they always bring some good energy.

Should be a fun game to watch.

Hopefully Sasha doesn't mess up too much...

I bet Lebron and the other starters will go crazy when one of the rookies does something nice! I love their reactions, like when Wally blocked that shot

 

[Chardon]

Imagine if we played our starters for the full minutes, against the sixers backups.

 

[Wally World]

I can see our players playing tough and i can see LBJ and co. making fun on the bench....Looks like wally and varejao will lead us tonight....

Won't be backups for the Sixers. A Chicago loss and a Philly win puts Philly at the 6th seed. They'll be going all-out.

This will be a very good game for you, my friend.

You will get to see Wally attempt a lot of shots and be the "go-to guy." Hopefully he doesn't disappoint--I have high hopes for him tonight
