So yeah, it’s going to be awfully tough to write NBA Matchups with what looks like a lot of possible DNPs in the second half of the season. The Mavs already told us they’re going to have rest days without announcing them in advance, so things could get real messy. I might try workshopping some new approaches on what could be ahead, and it was very noteworthy on Thursday that so many teams really leaned on their two-way/G League guys.
Plus, we’re seeing a lot of teams make rotation changes for the second half like when Steve Kerr decided he’s rolling with Jordan Poole and Nico Mannion, and we’re probably going to see more of that.
Most of the coach quotes are old, so for just this edition I’m going to scrap the quotes section. Don’t worry, though! It’ll be back next week.
