I'm shocked. I would opt for slowly working him back into the lineup instead of giving him heavy minutes from the onset. Its only a broken hand, but still.
Mchale is freaking dumb, why rush him back like that. Dude is running these players into the ground. McHale should bring him back slowly
i think it's obvious bev would start immediately. if he's ready to go...he'll get big minutes. he's prob mchales fav player on the roster. remember when parsons came back against boston, they said they'd monitor his minutes? didn't he go on to play 39 mins? lol.
To be fair, that was the game where Garcia took a hit to the face (I think it was his face) and bled profusely throughout the rest of the game. I don't think McHale had much choice.

LMA went off against TJones earlier this season for almost 40 points and a bunch of rebounds. He'll go off against almost anyone on him
Friedman said DMo will likely get the start if T. Jones can't go. I hope I'm wrong, but I could see LMA baiting him into very early foul trouble.
That is very likely. DMo is really trying agressively on the defensive end lately and might pick up some quick fouls around the basket instead of just letting LMA get easy points.
