I wonder if Mosely knows how to preserve their legs. Pops is the master at resting his team. Today, I saw the Magic shooting around at 1 pm est. The Spurs probably skipped shoot around and slept in until 1.

We did a press conference. All the players looked worn out. There are no clips from the Spurs because they are probably still sleeping.

Spurs dont have a backup C no?

When Wemby rests, thats the time to attack the rim?

Spurs might want to give Wemby a rest this game to protect him from Cole Anthony

IF WCJ and Isaac can hit a couple of early 3's we might be able to pull him out of the paint a bit too. All the bigs need to rough the string bean up...maybe PB gets him in early foul trouble...would be a good assignment for Suggs - to go right into Wemby's chest and try to draw fouls.

Any word on his progress towards returning, btw?

The team is coming back from a long western road trip: loss
The team is still the bottom of the barrel in shooting and cannot defend: loss
Suggs is probably out: loss
Wemby is going to dominate: loss
Fox, the reason why we couldn’t win against the Kings, is now a Spurs: loss
So, obviously, we’re winning the game.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Yeah I keep asking whats up with Suggs injury. If they didnt really plan him to play, they should have left him in Orlando to properly recover and rehab his injury.

Also, WCJ bulk might be more helpful roughing up Victor than Goga this game

Guards: Cole, KCP, AB, Harris
Forwards: Franz, Paolo, TDS, JI
Bigs: Goga, WCJ

Guard rotation sucks without Suggs.

No Suggs?
Chance of winning greatly diminished.
