    You know what was going through my mind during the commercial break? Wow. Just when he decides to hustle and get a few put-back slams, he has to break his damn wrist.

    Was anyone else thinking this exact thought about our injuries...

    Okay, let's see. That makes it a sweep.

    Starters:

    PG Francis - injured
    SG Mobley - injured
    SF Rice - injured
    PF Taylor - injured
    C Cato - injured

    Well, thank God Cato wasn't serious. It sounds weird, but judging by last night, I was hoping Willis wouldn't come in. Of course, when KC went out to ice it, that's when everything went downhill.

    Anyone know if any team in NBA history has suffered injuries to all 5 starters?

    Just curious.

    96 Rockets team went one period of time with all 5 starters injured and out of the lineup.

    That's just great. So we're basically playing our bench vs everybody else's starters, for a month.
