    if Sengun doesn't play we're gonna be, um . . . short-handed in the finger waggle department

    If Alpi doesn't play, KD will come out in assassin mode again. Even so, it's still gonna be difficult to beat a team playing its best ball of the season without a C in the lineup.

    On the other side, MPJ is by far the Nets best player and they should be very easy to guard without him.

    Jabari, Tari and maybe DFS are the Rockets options at C. Yikes! Is it my imagination or does Nic Claxton always seem to play well against the Rockets?

    Alpi, pleeeeease get out there. All I'm asking for is ~20 mins.
