No CJ, no Trey, no Jose, no Naji. Denver are a tough out for anyone even healthy but without all those names, it's an issue.
Tonight is a game where winning would be cool, but unexpected; what I want to see is people step up. I want to see Zion more active on the glass, BI more aggressive from behind the arc, and our shooters as trigger happy as they can be.
Hawk seems like the obvious candidate to get the start now that CJ is out - he's already started games this year, and we desperately need to keep shooting in that opening lineup. It's already shooting averse enough as it is, we don't need to insert Dyson or Kira and have someone who defenses don't care about in that spot.
Fingers crossed for a little more consistent effort.
