Jameer Nelson Out 7-10 Days

Looks like we'll need to find a new way to step up in games. We were doing so well when he was having a good shooting game and was aggressive.. Hedo needs to step up his passing and limit silly TO's.. I hope this is worse case scenario for Jameer.. But at least it doesn't seem major..

AJ will probably suck but atleast we play against easy teams this week.

This is the suck. Games with Anthony Johnson logging heavy minutes, YAY! These will be such exciting, fast paced games.......

AJ is a HUGE downgrade. It's going from a 60 win pg to a 23 win pg, and the scary thing is AJ might actually play worse in extended minutes!
He has been showing some flashes of his preseason play and if we get that then Nelson's absence won't be as bad.
I'm hoping that we see a lot of Lee and Hedo running the point.

That is scary. Easy teams or not CL has to be our 2nd pg. I have liked him running with the ball whe he has had it. Every game will now be a nail biter.

I agree with your two central points: Johnson is a downgrade, and he will be worse in extended minutes.
Worse, rather than guarding the other team's sub, Johnson must go against A-game PGs. That's a real test!
Lee is a horrible idea though. A rookie combo PG, oh my goshness. YUCK!
Turkoglu will need to run the offense. Let us all pray for his health this week.

Re: Jameer Nelson Out 7-10 Days
We will have a real test tonite against Philly on a national TV game. We will see how AJ can handle Andre Miller and then they got an easy night tomorrow with Washington. Tonite is going to be key if AJ can keep up the pressure of how he played in the preseason. We will just have to wait and see. Sux for Jameer that he does not get to play in front of his family and friends before Thanksgiving.

A strained hip flexor isn't a big deal at all, that's the good news. The bad, he was doing so well and just hitting his groove, its going to hurt a bit. I also want to see Hedo and Lee get some more time handling the ball, although AJ has been doing better lately. I did like him posting up on Lue the other night. He is a big point that can do that for us given the matchup. Injuries are part of the game.

I'm glad u brought up 2k9.. I'm putting the blame for the curse of NBA 2k9 for not putting Gortat in the game, and that's why hes not playing..

As long as CLee gets some minutes at the point, then this could be a good thing.

Re: Jameer Nelson Out 7-10 Days
I don't think Lee is ready to handle pg duties yet. He's not been effective at all imo, even though he's had few opps to do so. This is an experiment that needs to be put on the back burner for a while.
