    Big lineup?


    PG- Alston - average
    SG- Wesley - short for SG
    SF- DA - short for SF
    PF- Howard - lower end for PFs
    C- Yao - Very tall

    He said that we'd have a big lineup if Swift started at the 3.

    I bet Bowen starts in T-Mac's place.

    Back spasms can be a nasty ailment. It can take anywhere from days to months, ot until the source of the problem heals.

    I honestly don't see him playing for at least a few games. There's no sense in taking any chances this early in the season.

    The important thing is to heal.

    I agree we'll slide Wesley into the starting lineup. Because it's so early in the season and our chemistry is so wacked out, anybody can beat us. We should still beat the Nooks but it's not a given. Orlando could be tough without T-Mac even though Grant Hill won't play.

    I hope the game time decision is that he plays. Apparently T-Mac's back issues are muscular (like mine) and not skeletal. Skeletal back problems are scary, sometimes require surgery and can end athletic careers prematurely. Muscular back problems seem scary sometimes, but it's the lesser of two evils. I've been laid out 3-4 days by my back but it's always just a matter of time before I'm on my feet again. You just learn to live with the flare ups because they are inevitable.

    Damnit.. All that time around Grant Hill Tracy must have caught what Grant has.. :p

    Doesnt sound that bad, he'll be back in a few games and it'll give his legs some time to get better.. well Tracy and Shaq out really hurt my Fantasy team so far..

    what do back spasms have to do with getting undercut? ic2000 said he got undercut and fell on his back and that it looked (meaning he saw it happen) pretty bad. i would assume the fall itself is what injured his back. why would they report it as back spasms?

    DCballer like yaomania is known to work for the rockets. IC2000 is more of a mystery, but it seems like he's at the Toyota center enough to lean that way also.

    Best thing about this BBS? The 'insiders'. We get news before the media gets it.
