    He probably shouldn't play in them, when you are tired, you are more likely to get hurt.

    Bring him back slowly and make sure he's got something left for the end of the season and possibly the postseason if the Rockets make it.

    Same with Dipo per Silas.

    And likely Boogie as well.

    Smart move. He and Boogie and Oladipo need legit load management. They need to be healthy and Oladipo needs to look tradable.

    Two walls back to back will be just one thick wall. If you put a little space, the two walls could become a room. If the mason and his cousin could get the stone from home-Dipo, it could turn into a beautiful house.

    I am moved by this statement. You obviously saw this from the seventh dimension, proving Michio Kaku’s string theory is correct.

    Do you need to buy wood also and paint it in brown?

    i thought boogie already played a b2b (when he couldn’t make anything and then came back the next night with 28), right?

    And Oladipo will sit Thursday against Memphis

    Neither one player will play both nights of a B2B

    I think this is over strategizing, and over strategizing will likely end up losing us both games.

    IF there is that big of a concern then maybe we should tell Olidipo to not do intense leg heavy workouts right after playing a game

    You may be right.

    Nwaba before his ankle sprain was not sitting on B2Bs either. And he was coming of Achilles injury too.

    But Boogie already suffers from lack of lift and mobility issues, Silas may want to consider load management of some kind for him too.

    Boogie was finishing better at start of season than he is now, his weak finishing must be frustrating as heck for a former All Star who is only 30.

    I specifically watched some of Boogie's vids as a Sacramento King, yes, he was faster.

    But a superathletic player he wasn't even at his absolute prime.

    Got by mostly because of combination of skills, deceleration, strength and surprise moves.

    5 years ago and the league wasn't even as possession driven, trigger happy.
