Steve Blake Out Indefinitely; Barnes Questionable

Lakers backup point guard Steve Blake is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with the chicken pox on Tuesday morning.

The team learned of Blake’s condition after the team’s shootaround in preparation for Tuesday’s game against San Antonio. He’ll very likely miss Wednesday’s game at Sacramento as well in advance of the playoffs, which start either Saturday or Sunday. Blake will be monitored throughout the week.

Why did he never get immunized or exposed to chicken pox?

And if Barnes is out, we have to watch Luke step on the court.

Everything is going against us lol, first the 5 game losing streak and now these injuries. OH BOY!

Edit: We put our selves in this position. #2 seed would be locked up if we had just won 2 games -_-

2nd seed is irrelevant though in terms of path to the finals other than the first round and homecourt.

how is it not when you just pointed out the hca stuff, if they're not 2nd they might be 4th, which in turns lead to 3 rds w/o HC

Sucks to have chicken pox. Heard it's worse when as an adult. Then again, it might be shingles.

the NBA 2k lineup lol....IF only it works like the video game, I hated playing against this lineup, you cant reb against this lineup.....I would like to see Phil try this and switch on D, put Kobe back on the 2, Ron on the 1 or whoever is faster Ron gets and Odom guards the 3....

Not good, chicken pox can potentially kill you as an adult.

Dude shoulda got vaccinated if he never had it as a kid.
