    I only worry about Jones, Jones I don't see coming back till maybe after All-star break. However Dwight and Canaan I see coming back for next week or MAYBE GSW? Kpapa coming back in two week or so. I don't believe these "any time soon" cases. Just seem like he was just saying that and the media took it and spin it into BS for Laker/Dwight haters to keep calling him "soft" with.

    Your post does well in that it has both McHale's pregame and post game comments. But for those who don't read everything...

    After the All-Star Break for Jones? That would mean mid-February, 3 1/2 months after he got injured. That'll be crazy if he winds up missing that much time.

    I've been shocked that we're still winning games with Howard missing this much time. Being 7-3 without Howard this season has been impressive, but we need to get him back ASAP. I have this feeling that defenses will figure us out and the wheels will fall off at some point missing so many people.

    How cool would it have been to see TJones in this depleted lineup getting more touches and being free to exploit his skill set freely.

    It's the sad curse of nerve damage. It's never a time table for it. :(

    With Pap injured that count is 4. With that many people out, can't we use the hardship exception and sign another player and exceed the 15 man roster?

    The Thunder did it with Ish Smith in November, just wondering if i was missing something to use it

    I think all 4 players have to be out for at least 2 weeks. Feigan said we are unlikely to use it because Canaan and Dwight are expected back soon. So I'm guessing "soon" is no longer than 2 weeks.

    Here, I looked it up

    However like KlutchQT said we probably won't bother because we are expecting Pap/Canaan back relatively soon.

    Here's the tweet

    @Jonathan_Feigen: Four players must be out for 2 weeks. Beverley could be back tonight. Dwight, Canaan soon RT @mysansky: @Jonathan_Feigen hardship exception?

    He has a better post game but thats it. Dwight is a better offensive player...

    And slightly worse on defnese? Dwight is miles ahead.
