No worries... by that time, Anthony Tolliver will be back.

Note: I wanted to make as much sense as zeeb.

our bench is now dangerously thin, we essentially only have third stringers (besides baynes).

That's bad news. That just really sucks for us. Wow

We already have the shortest/worst bench in the NBA. This is beyond a killer

A killer would be if they're out of the season. I'd give SJ and Tolliver 2 weeks to get back. In the mean time we have 76ers and Bucks. Gotta win those games. Then it's a back to back with toronto which is probably a loss healthy or not. Then San Antonio. Then maybe we'll get a player back. Their injuries are only sprains and that usually goes away in a week or two

Depressing. He was a huge reason I get pumped for every game

I can see Baynes getting 30 mins tomorrow along with Hilliard

Eh whatever, he's been playing horrible as of late.

Starting group looked strong last night. That's what we need to carry us into the 8th seed.

We probably lose the game last night if we don't have SJ

I'm lost. The Pistons have a killer starting lineup and now an admittedly decimated bench, but why does stanley going down hurt our chances of a playoff berth?

I actually think this in the short term makes our team stronger as it forces the starters to play a ton of minutes together forcing familiarity.

This is actually the perfect thing to happen right now.

Playoff chances actually increase with this happening.

I don't know how you can think like that but I love it. I hope you're right man. If anything, the next two games are must wins and then we'll take it from there
