    He doesn't look comfortable in this offense because he can't run fast break and he is not a good shooter, nothing can change it.

    He also have difficulties to fit in the defense, because the Rockets normally will switch a lots, which is not in his favor.

    However, these is something he can bring to the table better than Terry, that is he tend to make less TOV, sometime when the Rox will be in a funk, that helps.

    Overall if you don't expect too much from him, that's fine, he is what he is.

    If he will split the PG minutes with Terry in playoff, it will not be pretty.

    Well here comes to losses with no Dmo, Howard, Jones or Bev. Wizards and Raps are not the TWolves.

    Hopefully we win the game he does play. A split and then a win at home against Sacramento is good enough heading into the 3-game road trip from hell.

    That was always the plan. It's unfortunate given the absence of T-Jones and D-Mo, but better safe than sorry.

    I thought McHale said he would play one of each back to back.

    This teams resilience is a thing of beauty. Three key rotational players down with injuries and we still find ways to win.

    Great win Red Nation.

    Good that they won. But giving up 110 points to this Wolves roster is not good even with a few of your guys out.

    Capela better be ready for he will get some PT in one of those games. Dwight will more than likely be playing the Wizards game on Sunday.

    It is not good, but they not just a few guys. They are key rotation players.

    He is. I meant that he's not playing in both games, not that he's missing both.

    Very true. It would have been nice to have a healthy K-Pap for depth in a game like this too.
