Due to flu like symtoms. He missed yesterdays practice and if he still runs a fever will be forced to sit out tonight. As heard from 97.5 about 5 minutes ago.
If Battier is going to guard Durant, then you've got to have someone who can defend the SG. Is Chase ready to guard starting SGs yet? Should be lots of mins for Lowry & Brooks tonight, along with a possible Jermaine Taylor sighting. I like Chase coming off the bench at this point in his career. I'd expect to see Landry at the 3 when Durant is resting.
Budinger is going to miss the game, most likely. Lowry would probably get the start, and Taylor may get some minutes.
Good to hear. Always a good point of a down year is seeing rookies get PT and seeing what they can do. CBud is showing LOTS. That was a nice scoop reverse layup!!!
JT just might get some playing time if Ariza is out for tonight. Let's see if the match up allows at SG position.
I hate it when a player is said to have flu and comes out and score 41 points...lol. Anybody who has the flu knows you cant go running when you dehydrated, body aching, fever, etc... Kobe may have been a little sick but he didnt have no flu.
Great idea. Pay millions for a rookie, lock him in to a cheap long-term deal, then cut him after 6 games. You should be GM.
Blair has no knees though. I'm pretty sure that scared Morey away. Brooks had it rough his rookie year too. Morey definitely saw something to make Jermaine our very first pick that draft (Morey screwed the Cavs out of Blair using that pick too).
