Rubio likely out and I’m expecting a stinker. Which is fine, because sadly the results of these games don’t matter.

Ready for playoff time.

This is a schedule loss IMO. I don't expect much from this game. Unless Mitchell and/or Gobert blow up in this game.

Is Exum alive? When will he be back on the court?

Re-evaluation in a week. Even if he comes back in a week, it’s tough to play him over Neto or O’Neale. Looking like another lost season for Exum.

I can't find the report from Andy Larsen but supposedly he reported that Exum suffered a bone bruise when he had his ankle sprain. His ankle sprain has long been healed but it is the bone bruise that is causing his delayed return.

The guy just can't catch a break, unless it's a literal one.

Neto out too:

Read on Twitter

No PGs.

And I was just about to make a joke about mysteriously getting injured now that we need him most...

Well, we’ll get to see Allen in garbage time. That’s fun...is it?

So... middle of the 3d?

The only guy who might be more injury prone than Exum is Neto.

If it's possible Neto might be more brittle than Exum. At least Exum gets injured playing, Neto just gets out of bed and gets injured.

This is likely a blow out. Wonder how many quarters it'll take and how long I'll be able to take watching a whooping? First quarter? Will I make it to halftime ? A few minutes into the third? Oohhh the excitement of the unknown!

Yes. Though at this rate he might even have to play center.

We didn’t play for four days and then a back to back.

How stupid is that? :crazy:

A loss in the making.

Regards.

I hate these scheduled losses. I hate it even more that it's against the Nuggets. I have a coworker who is a nuggets fan. I don't want to call in sick tomorrow.

Wow at the negativity on here...

Mitchell running PG isn't something that worries me, rather it's something that excites me.

A lineup of Mitchell, Oneale, Joe, Fav, Gobert. With Jae comming in.. Nothing bad there.

What sucks is not having Neto... so that ball handler in the 2nd unit is the issue, Grayson will get time today not just in garbage.

We might probably lose this game but its not like how a lot of make it out to be.

KqWIN · Post #18 » by **KqWIN** » Fri Mar 1, 2019 3:07 am

Mitchell running PG doesn't worry me either, but having only 2 players who can handle the ball is...not ideal.

Take me back to the days when we had 4 ball handlers and shooters on the court at the same time :meditate:

Waiting for the game and watching Philly. Man, Tobias Harris is so solid. He would have fit so very nicely on our team. I know we had a next to impossible chance before the trade to Philly, but now it's really impossible.

He's been a stud tonight. It's crazy to think that he was traded for nothing just a few years ago. Now he will have several max contracts waiting for him.
