    Basically post allstar break, which is what majority have already been saying would be for the best.

    You think we could start Josh Smith now instead of Jones with Dmo?

    I have faith in this team.

    JSmoove will step up, TJ's back, DMo's playing like we hoped he would.

    Grind it out and get into the playoffs healthy.

    February is the month you want him to miss if he's going to miss a month.

    Our paint defense will look very bad for a while.

    5-5 or 6-4 might be best case scenario with the beg men we'll be facing.

    Whos gonna rebound for us
    I mean Dmo isnt a very strong rebounder
    Jones might need to be put back in the starting line up or josh smith
    Harden had the most rebounds and assists tonight
    someone needs to step up and give a little help

    Wait... How is different than what Woj said? Extended time sounds like weeks or even a month or two to me.
