If Ben Gordon hits a game winner, I'm becoming a full time Warriors fan till Curry comes here.

The terms "glue guy" (and "stretch four") is/are most overused in NBA basketball by commentators and fans alike.

MKG though is literally our glue guy, he holds everything together and when he's out, we fall apart.

Sadly even when he's healthy, he's out too much.

A Raptors fan in peace.
You have had a terrible start to the season but Raptors had a dismal start last year 6 & 13 and still made the playoffs. You are much better than your current record and I felt you could be 4th or 5th in the East.
Hope your ship is turned around.

Heading up Amcoolio's way tonight. Gonna try and stop in his place and grub and watch some of the game. All depends on the wife though, she is in the process of putting in a 14 hour shift at the hospital and I might end up losing the battle and have to pick up a pizza and take it to the house.

This is a must win for us with our schedule next week.

I also thought Wednesday was a must win too. We have to stop losing to inferior opponents. I know we have key guys out, but the other guys have to step up. The defense has to be better when MKG can't play. The fact our defense is so dependent on one player concerns me about Clifford's actual ability to coach that side of the floor.

I'm scared of their front court. Vucevic dropped 24 points & 23 rebounds on Jefferson last season in a game that was super important to our playoff seeding. Channing Frye always rains threes on us and they seem to be playing Tobias Harris at SF which is going to be a size mismatch for our SGs. Wouldn't be surprised if we started Zeller and Marvin for matchup purposes.

Agreed, we need him back bad.

I don't want to sound too sports radio-ish but this sure feels like a must-win. Heading into @MIA, LAC, POR, GSW, @ATL, CHI at 4-9 scares me. The Wizards used to start seasons like this every year for the past decade. Even if the ship is somewhat straightened later on, it's tough playing catch-up from a record of 5-14 or smth.

And let's not sleep on this Magic team. They've played solid basketball. I don't feel any upper hand in this match-up.
