    Terrence Jones?

    Ribs are bothering a little bit, minor thing. Hoping it's not a major thing. I talked to him. More or less, one of those games, at least I'm hoping. Trainers told me before the game he was having a tough time with those ribs again.

    Dwight: We've got to do a better job of getting him more minutes. We have to get up to 26-27-28 minute range. I hope his knee can handle 30 minutes or so. We need him on the floor. He can rebound in crowds, scoring on the post helps (with D-Mo out). His presence alone puts pressure on the defense. We need him in the 26-30 minute range and see how his knee reacts. I wanted to get him up to 27-28 last night but it never developed.

    Prigioni more assertive?

    Pablo is pass-first. He's just gonna do it. Every person and coach who has talked to him has told him to shoot more. When you're open, load it up and let it go. Him and Jet, Nick sprinkled in there too, we want Pablo shooting. He usually makes the right decision. He's a pass first guy and will always look to pass.

    How critical is winning the division and getting 2 seed?

    Of course we want it. We'll have to win our way in. You'd love to have it. Starts tomorrow night. 2nd seed or 5th seed, we'll be playing a good team.

    T-Jones will have to tough it out. We're running out of bodies in the frontcourt.

    Could have been worse, somebody could have said "the biggest game in franchise history" like Andre said when Texans played the Patriots in that MNF game 2 seasons ago and proceeded to get beat like a drum.

    Smith should be able to fill the void and TJones can only pick his opportunities as he has no post up game. I think Capella should be the back up 5 from here on out.

    Dwight needs to start playin 30+ min to see how his knee reacts. Cause dwight will need to br at 35+ in the playoffs or this team could go home very quickly

    At least Terry was man enough to admit the Spurs gave us a "whoopin."

    That follows. If I remember correctly, Tjones usually played well against the Spurs. Could just be the fog of middle age.

    In any case, playing small against the Spurs in such a big game (and only 16 minutes?) didn't make sense.

    18 and 12 against them last season (4 games).

    We need him to dial it in - and some vintage 'SpursKiller' Harden wouldn't hurt :grin:

    Are there any decent PG's on the waiver wire that we can get heading into the playoffs?.. If so , can we sign them or is there a rule of some sort??.... Just asking , because Rondo is gonna shred us in a 7 game series... But Rockets by 3 hopefully tomo!!!

    What about McGee, has any team picked him up yet? Rather have him than Dorsey

    Hands down the biggest regular season game in the past 5 years. Lose and we fall to the sixth seed and lost home court.

    Win and getting past the first round is a reality.

    I would agree. Not to mention Harden's MVP chances are done if we fall to 6.
