Not sure if the Heat can recover if he sits out tomorrow's game.

Want to see a lot of Markieff Morris at PF with PJ Tucker out. Also need Yurtseven to get over his cold cause this is a great opportunity for him to get extended minutes.

I'm with u on that. I want to see Morris play position where he can defend Giannis and Durant or Collins.

Might be a first round preview.

Tatum and Horford out so far for the Celtics tonight against the Bucks. Wouldn’t mind seeing the starting lineup look like this tomorrow:

Dipo
Gabe
Herro
Martin
Yurt

Get the W. If 76ers and Boston win tonight then rest everyone

No Dedmon, no yurt, no kieff, maybe no Tucker?

Tucker definitely out, he'll be reevaluated in a week.

I'm sure Dedmon could play, but they're likely to rest him if Yurt can play (or maybe just rest him even if Yurtz can't play). If both Dedmon and Yurt can't play, then Keef definitely getting PT.

What I find interesting is that Rice was traded for Zo who went on to be a hall of famer and certainy was more decorated as a Heat player, but in today's world, Riley might shy away from doing that deal.

Perhaps Zo's game could of adapted to the new rules; he certainly was talented enough for that idea to be entertained, but Rice would have been a killer in this era.

Heck, had he not have been traded and if Mia still went on to acquire Hardaway, that duo would have been box office to watch.

Glen was a hellava player then as well. Just never played with a well built team except during his twighlight years as a laker. He was better than Pierce in my book.

100% still remember watching the all star game live in 97.. rice off the bench exploded and got the mvp over Jordan who got a triple double. He was amazing.

Back then I use to think only is Sonics traded for Rice instead of Schrempf. They would of ran the Bulls in the finals.

These last 2 games would be a perfect opportunity for him to prove in game that he can provide more than Dedmon, if he can. He needs to be very sharp defensively if he wants any shot at cracking the playoff rotation

That's an interesting proposal. Today, Rice would be seen as a Lillard type, maybe. Volume shooter for sure. Would Zo still be seen as valuable?
