    Gotta get someone with some length to defend and rebound. The small lineup with Anderson as C is not working now.

    I've said it before, i'll say it again, time to make a man out of Zhou. Throw his ass in there with the wolves against a meh team give him more minutes than he's used to and see how he does.

    Injuries suck but they become crippling when you're not prepared for them. We can only hope MDA has to learned a lesson from this and we'll start to see him expand the rotation.

    at least it's not lower body. He just have to wear a mask like Kyrie after surgery or whatnot

    Gortat is going destroy a washed up Nene and Black. Celtics have Baynes who is not great offensively but he is a a good offensive rebounder.

    Our team is built to beat the Warriors but if we have some injuries we can’t beat anybody!

    Likely so. Oh well.

    Injuries really hurting this team right now. Can't do anything about it. But the 1 seed goal is likely going to be out of reach at this rate. Looking like 2 or 3, especially since the Spurs aren't missing a beat.

    Probably. Spurs extend their rotation, keep guys minutes manageable, get others experience, and can weather injuries because of it. D'Antoni will never learn this, it appears. Injuries have struck, and we're not really adjusting. Just playing guys more minutes.

    The worst part is that it's not even 2018. This only hurts us later in the season, as it did last year.
