When Diabate stole the ball from Barnes and made that layup.....barnes landed awkwardly on his left leg. Looked like his knee wiggled around. Not good.

Yeah but then he played afterwards. Highly confusing unless it felt worse the next day or something.

yep thats exactly what happened. it happens with an ankle sprain too, you can still sometimes play on it when you injure it then it will swell up like a balloon the next day at which point you have to take it easy

[TheRealDeal]

I guess it’s a good sign Ingram hasn’t been ruled out yet? If it was a long term injury he’d probably be ruled out by now, no?

[Tripod]

Raps are 0-8 vs the other teams in top 10 overall standings. If you're legitimate, this trend must change.

Legitimate for what?

Don't we all know that they are in tough to stay in the top 6 with Philly, Cavs and Orlando already making all in moves in the past?

Then even if they do stay top 6, most expected we will lose in the 1st rd to a better team.

I remember a Jermaine O’Neal interview from back in the day where he said getting on a plane afterwards makes it swell up. Team flew to Boston after the game.

Why are fans still wanting a C? We have Poeltl coming back soon and CMB emerging, there won't be minutes for one. Also, this draft will be crucial in potentially getting us another piece we can add to the core for a potential contending roster.

[Tor_Raps]

Celtics just beat the crap out of us without Tatum/Brown. If Barnes is out in addition to Poeltl, a good team finds a way to be competitive. Lets see...

We don't have a C anymore without Scottie so we're probably losing this by 30.

You'd think but I don't trust whatever head office says regarding injuries. Could be they know he's 100% out but list him as questionable anyway.

Because it's silly to assume that Yak will come back and play every game. Or that CMB won't miss any games. Or Mamu.

Ochai swapped for a depth C just balances the team better if....sorry...when...an injury occurs. Ochai leaves, Battle gets some mins finally.

Or gives you another big body vs certain teams who CMB can't handle the size. Or extra fouls if one of Yak/CMB gets in fould trouble.

It's all about having options in case X happens. Right now, we essentially have both Ochai and Battle that are not/barely playing. Just shift one of them(Ochai) to a big body.

Because we got a taste of a real back-up C with size in Mo Bamba and don't want to go back

I don't get why a trade hasn't been made yet either, teams should be dying to get their hands on Ochai

This game was supposed to be something of a nut check game.

Now its not.

Damn

Hope it’s not long term for both guys

[Tor_Raps]

Somehow the spread only went from. -8.5 to -10.5 after the news of Scottie/Ingram being out lol

[Gant]

Raps are 0-8 vs the other teams in top 10 overall standings. If you're legitimate, this trend must change.

If you're seeking perfection though, this trend must remain the same.

[LoveMyRaps]

I’d roll with:

Quickley
Lawson
Barrett
Sandro
CMB


Darko will likely go with Walter though

[earthtone]

What do we think the starting five looks like with Scottie/Ingram out?

I'm guessing Quick/RJ/Ja'Kobe/CMB/Mamu, but I'd love to see Dick get some run with the starters. If there's a time for him to finally show up this season, it's tonight.

Hope we see a lot of Mogbo as well tonight too, he's been playing great with the 905 and aside from CMB is probably the closet we have to Barnes in terms of switchability & disruptiveness

[MiamiSPX]

I hope CMB gets 33+ minutes. Let's roll.

[HumbleRen]

I hope CMB gets 33+ minutes. Let's roll.

Might foul out by the 3rd quarter lmao
