    Sucks that he’ll miss a game or two but I think, among our newer (and better) players, he’s someone we can more easily supplement for a little stretch. Not like he’s a defensive stopper or something. And we’ve got some other shooters now. I do think we’re better with him in the line-up, but this is an injury we can survive for a game or two.

    100% Fish.. Schroder, Reaves, Beasley & Walker easily fill in for DLO without us sacrificing much at all...

    OK, we have guards who can fill in for him. He should be ready by Tuesday or Wednesday.

    We really missed him out there in that first half, but we found a way to settle in. Hope we have him back next game, especially with Bron hurt.

    I expect Lebron to sit out next game, so D Lo needs to play. His play making skills take the pressure off Lobrawn, he can help set the team up with good looks on O and can play off the ball

    Sit the next one. It's a loss either way, then get the f*** back out there. With Bron out, AD needs some help.

    If he went through pre-game for the Mavs game, it's not that bad. We're probably being cautious or he has a low pain tolerance. Haven't followed him enough since he left to know which it is.

    I think we have a legit shot to beat Memphis even without Lebron. Certainly Memphis is the favorite but us winning would not be shocking at all. Out roster is stacked. The way we are playing defense if we have a decent day shooting we are right there. Memphis is only 5-5 their last ten.

    memphis is like portland (for different reasons) in that they can look unbeatable some nights and absolutely terrible others. let's hope it's the latter!

    split the difference. try to win the game, but don't play AD if you get down 20+ in the second half.
