INJURIES: AAA (out - hamstring) - GALLO (gametime decision - ankle) - TIMO (out - ankle/knee) - iLL WIL - (wil play - ankle) - KMART (out - rest) - NENE (out - groin) - RAY (out - rest)

UTAH JAZZ STARTING FIVE:

INJURIES: ANDREI KIRILINKO (doubful - knee) - RAJA BELL (out - faking it) - RONNIE PRICE (out - calf) - KYRYLO FESENKO (out - thumb)

Pointless game... lets just hope there are no more injuries to finish out the season. Koufis time, the Jazz have been warned.

Expect a completely different background but the players will be like that and there will be some stuff for our poor opponents and what have you.

Nice pic. Btw: BENCH EVERYONE! sign 5 d-leaguers and let them play for 48 minute.

Denver is already full of injuries... so..

Karl has to be a moron. WTF is he playing his starters?

amazing.

My assumption is he was resting Ray because he is older and playing Ty because we don't have a third point guard. Kinda tough to play any NBA game without a real point guard playing a little bit. Can't really blame Karl too much, just unlucky there.

Wow, Ty gone and Mavs up by 20. The least terrible thing to happen tonight was that we lost.

what? the game means nothing for the nuggets nor for utah and he's playing his starter? Just play without a point guard.

you can surely blame him. idiotic move by karl.

How bad was the injury?? What happened?

Post #14 » by **corona** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:14 am

lawson defended haywards shot and landed on his foot....turning his ankle over.

i didn't think it looked that bad. looked more like a tweak....and i've seen a lot of nba games where guys turn it over way more and play fine the rest of the game/week. but he didn't look fine being helped off. hopefully its not too major.....and the first game starts on sunday, not saturday.

Seriously, If I was a GM I would put these decisions on my shoulders. The game means nothing so put the scrubs in. Don't have enough scrubs? sign d-leaguers for 10 days..

Hopefully Affalo and TY are ok. I already accept the bet with my friend.

GO denver please.

Scrubs what scrubs? You can only have 15 players on the roster, and the Nuggets have 14, they could not have went out and signed Dleaguers even if they wanted to. The Nuggets rested Kmart and Felton, and only had 8 players even available. It is not Karl's fault that they have 5 guys who are injured he has to play someone and Lawson just got unlucky.

Play with 7 players but don't play a starter... Sorry but playing a starter in a 100% meaningless game when the Playoffs are knocking on the door is just stupid.

That's my opinion. We'll have to agree to disagree.
