    [790am] Sura MRI on his back

    Sura is out for tonight. He's getting a MRI done on his back. Just reported on 790am

    I hope he's not out for a long time.

    Didn't they have like a week to do the MRI? Maybe it just flared up today?

    That sucks. We now get a chance to see how exposed we are at PG with Sura out.

    All the more reason to continue to push for that Derrick Anderson for Taylor trade.

    We can only hope we see a lot more Barry to night and not too much Strickland.

    Crap!

    I hope Strickland and Barrett step up. We might see T-Mac at the point tonight...

    When I heard he was heading for Vegas during the break, I was like "Crap, arent you supposed to take care of your knees". Man, we need Sura tonight to fight those hobbits.

    This sux...

    We need to see more playtime for Barry tonite or have T-Mac start at point. I don't want to see Rod Strickland on the floor period.

    Yeah, I think a lot of Wesley at the 1 w/ John at 2 and we should be ok.

    Tough to make up for Sura's rebounding, though.

    I'm hoping Barry gets a bunch of the PG minutes. He'll struggle defending PGs and his handles aren't that good, but Seattle isn't really a team that breaks guys down one-on-one and along with Wes and T-Mac we should have enough guys that can bring it up the court.

    The way Barry's been moving the ball around it's almost like he's playing PG on offense already. We'll miss Sura's drives to the basket so Wes and Mcgrady just have to step up the attack.

    This reveals just how important Sura is to this team. Our other PG's have had time to work, rest, practice and play with this team and they need to start delivering. We can't go to the championship with only one point guard.

    This sucks.

    Jon Barry should definitely get more playing time tonight. Actually he should start the game alongside Wesley.

    Can we keep the streak alive without the X factor?

    Rod, we're counting on ya buddy..

    Everyone is really going to have to step up now. Terrible timing for something like this, but hopefully he'll be okay.

    CD better be working his A$$ off right now.
