Rest up Dwight

We should be able to handle the wolves without him, they play tonight as well.

 

Is the cyst on the surface of the ankle, or was it internal? Was it like a giant blister, or something completely different?

 

Dude should just sit until Monday vs. Al Jefferson and Charlotte. No sense in risking reinjury vs. the Kyrie-less Cavs. Plus, nobody wants to chase around Spencer Hawes

 

Not bothered by Asik in the starting lineup against these squads.

A little worried about who backs him up, though.

 

Enter...Marcus Camby.

 

disgusting...

but we're gong to need pics or gtfo its a hoax.

 

GET RESTED D12

the whole "cyst" is BS. It's just taking a page from Popabitch and resting his big man. This also allows Asik to get his wind and rhythm back, especially on the offensive end where his timing and hops are lacking compared to his defensive play.

 

So....is he playing tonight?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if he sat out again. If he doesn't play tonight, he can then sit out the Sixers game and come back against the Clippers on Saturday. That'll mean he got nearly 2 weeks of rest.

 

He deserves the rest, but I'd love to see him and Al Jeff go at it. Would be nice to see him bounce back from that pathetic showing against Noah.

 

Asik can minimize the damage that AJ does.

Let Howard sit until LAC.

Sit him out till he's ready fosho, that's the luxury of an $8mill per yr backup Center

 

He rested enough ... He have to play against Charlotte and Big Al, CHA isn't a weak team. He can rest against Philly.
