JB actually did it.

Whoah, they actually rested guys.

I'll be honest, I am barely watching this game, but I am liking what I am seeing from Danny on the offensive end: extra passing, quickdraw threes, and some great movement. Dean Wade has somehow been bashful and not at the same time. He only took two threes and both were wild ones for him (a bit of leaning while shooting and firing quickly). Made one, missed one.

IMo looks like a gazelle out there, but I do like his offensive chops a bit. A little more worried about that other end as he has a tendency to lean and not be able to get back (it seems).

JB is running some great X and O's for a bunch of 2nd and 3rd string guys to get Green and Merrill open looks.

I'm probably the only guy in the world who cares about winning this game.

Great ball movement.

At times, better than the usual starters on this.

I would love 52 wins on the season so I'm down for the win.

It's official. The Cleveland Charge are better than the Lakeland Magic.

Neto is too good for having so few minutes during the season but I don't blame JB... we get 5 legit Guards for the back court and another 3 who can play there in case of need.

Diakite needs to relax; have some fun, guy.

Danny Green had some fun: remains to be seen if he'll play some actually meaningful post season minutes.
He looked worthy of it tonight.

Moble II is kinda short-legged and slow-mo version of Evan; I don't know if he can make it to the NBA but he knows the game. He should grow tougher at D.

Merrill is an interesting project. He should grow waaay tougher at D.

TweedleDean is getting better. While still far away from the impact he was capable to make lats season, he managed to be useful again.

La Mar outperformed expectations. I'm confident he'll do the same at PO.

Ce Dios is kinda worrysome/hopeful stuff, to me:

He has all the conditions given to became our best three pointer keeping some all-around skills that unbalance any defense but he struggles to hold it all together and his streakyness needs to be fixed soon or he will never evolve from his current stance.

On the other hand, he's our most dangerous X factor to opponent's scouting: when he's on fire he's basically unguardable and just sneaks up on everybody.
