Ohh man that sucks. Let's see if Hill can step up his game as a PG.

So now we have Parker, Neal and Splitter injured.

Hill can run point with Manu. This might be a good chance to get Anderson some reps.

Hill steps in and plays well, Neal backs him up. Both get more minutes. Parker gets rest to heal. We'll still finish on top of the west.

I'm with DK, this negative can be an opportunity of sorts for some of our backup guys, and they can get a bit of a run prior to playoffs.

Hopefully the injury doesnt cause TP any problems once he gets back on the court, as his explosiveness is obviously key to his game, and to our 3pt shooters getting good looks.

Well we just couldn`t go a full season without an injury to one of the big 3 could we?

But losing Parker isn't so bad because Hill's more than capable of stepping into the starting lineup and with Neal and Anderson behind him we should be fine. I just hope this doesn't mean we more of Chris Quinn.

My only hope is that TP comes back fresh. Hopefully having Hill start and Neal take Hill's minutes at backup won't mean that Manu has to play extra to make up for it. He needs to be rested for the PO's.

I'd sooner have TP out a month if it means he comes back relatively injury free. I think we've got #1 seed in the west wrapped up.

I don't think Neal takes the PG minutes. From what I see, Neal isn't a PG and I can't recall Pop using Neal as a PG. There might be times he plays PG but I'll bet my ass he's there with Manu, which basically means Manu is running the PG. But seriously I don't recall Neal playing PG. Whenever Neal plays, he's usually in there with Manu playing SF and Hill at PG or he'll have Parker with him.

Anyways, I think we'll see Quinn getting some regular playing time. I have seen nothing that suggest Quinn can't be a decent/average backup PG playing 12 minutes a night.
