    Raja Bell sprained his right ankle against the Sonics tonight in the third quarter of their game. He was helped off the court and didn't return.

    No word yet on the severity of the injury, but Saturday's game is only 3 days away, so there's a shot he won't be back by then.

    Who did this? Whatever, thanks!

    Nash is a good passer, but everyone has a settled thinking mode. Stoudemire, Barbosa/Raja, himself.
    So, we have stopped his second choice.
    But before all, we should stop Stoudemire first...

    OMG! GIVE ME A YAO PLS!!!

    Maybe not very good offensively but he does a good job defending the shooting guards like Kobe. Hopefully he doesn't play in Saturday's game so Tmac can catch fire since he's been having such a shooting slump lately.

    It will be tough. Looks like it will be Nash and Barbosa outside - Alston can't defend Nash and no one can defend Barbosa. Not to mention they can eat us alive inside with Shaq.

    Amare is an easy assignment. As long as his defender has energy and denies him the ball, he loses interest. I think Scola, Harris and Carl would do a nice job defending him.

    However, none of these guys can defend worth a lick so we may be able to go off ourselves. With a healthy Landry, we can inflict a lot of damage with:

    Scola
    Landry
    T-Mac
    Head
    Bobby

    Trust me. There is only one ball, and they will definitely handle to Stoudemire.
    Shaq is just a bait.
