A lot more minutes for Lou and Vasquez, and....Fields.

Sure would rather have Hamilton than Fields right now.

small sample size from pre-season but Fields has better defense at the end of the day

We can afford to drop a few games. Get Bruno some burn and make sure James' ankle heals properly.

Oh probably. But Hamilton can finish and shoot the spot of 3.

If we're going to play someone who sucks, I'd rather play the guy who can just hover at the 3 point line.

Or play Bruno...because...that would be hilarious.

We need him for the Cavs game. He gives us our best chance at guarding LeBron

Not the end of the world vs. Grizz wings, but sucks if he can't make it for LBJ on Friday.

James has really covered for pretty much everyone on defense and has also been a huge spark on offense when we have our little droughts. hopefully coin toss takes advantage of the extra minutes... or even Landry...like show you still belong in the league bro!

This can be merged with the other JJ injury thread. It doesn't provide any information on the extent of his injury that isn't already posted.

Just put DeMar on him, he has the size to mathcup with him. I saw Tyreke Evans really contain LBJ the other week when Cle went up against NOH. Ross cannot and should not be guarding LBJ.

Put DeMar on him.

Are we not limited Fields minutes because of the nerve issue?

Damn hopefully he's not out too long. He's been huge off the bench.

It would be great if we have him back for Cavs, but these things happen. Still worse case,hopefully he's back for our Cavs/nuggets/cavs meet on December 5-9th.

I guess all we can say is thank god its not worse with some of the injuries we've seen. If he for example had a season ending injury I might cry. James it the BEST.

ALso, free Bruno
