He should bring the team a Papa John's Buffet to make up for his absence...

Big Papa could surprise us with a return against the Mavs, 2nd April, but my mail is both he & D-Mo will be good to go against OKC on 5th April, getting ready For (to play against) our possible 1st round opponent The Spurs, on the 8th & 10th.

If we were in desperate need both DMo & Papa would be ready to go against OKC...but front office again is being 'cautious' with rushing injured / fatigued players back too soon.

The success that we've had of late plus the intriguing emergence of Capela, free throws aside, has allowed the Rockets to postpone the Return of Captain Hook and Big Papa against OKC, but as I said in an earlier post, I expect DMo & Papa not only to be ready to go, but ready to return against the Spurs.

Papa has been training with the team, but with no 5 on 5 drills. Ankle is good, but Rox aren't taking any unnecessary risks...I still expect Papa to return against the Spurs, but mail is that he will be back next week at the latest though against either Pelicans or Hornets to get in a little game time before The Playoffs.

He has been working on his shooting & should be much improved upon return...

@Jonathan_Feigen: Kostas Papanikolau practiced today. Would think will be available tomorrow.

Needs to come back soon.

Praying that he takes a step up and contributes right off the bat...I wouldn't mind seeing him at the 4 next to Dwight and have Smoove play the 5 with TJ in some rotations.

KPap knows how to get the ball to Dwight.
