They've been very conservative with his availability the last couple of weeks.

Like, if you want to dial down the minutes, it's pretty clear that outside of the main guys, Shady Davidson is next up in Emei Udoka's circle of trust.

Yet, because of the 50-game limit on his two-way, he literally has not been available.

It's not like Emei Udoka is making a choice.

No, it's that they just don't want to run out of games.

So I think we're getting to a point where, especially as the games get more important, you know, you should be able to scrape by against the Wizards no matter what.

But in these tougher games, every margin advantage is going to matter.

You may be at a point now where you just have to bite the bullet and say, you know what, let's convert J.D., let's get another body that he may can trust, and let's worry about the rest later.

And one final thing, I highly doubt this holds, but go Jazz.

Somehow the Jazz, tanking Utah Jazz, are up by one at the half against Denver.

Yeesh.

I would not count on that.

Nope.

Easy one tonight.

Appreciate it fellas.

I'm good.

We'll have more impactful shows moving forward as we get more impactful games.

Okay.

Yeah, I can.

Thumbs down was a good game.
