winnable game. Would be nice to get the 5 game winning streak going.

Rubio will play tonight but not tomorrow. We need to take advantage of tonight and win handily so we can rest our players for Tuesday and Thursdays big games.

Looking forward to watching "the Spanish Unicorn" again, you never know what he'll do next!


News from Jerry:

Love cleared to play tonight but no Josh Howard for the 2 game trip.

BRoy said he hopes to practice with team after Thurs OKC game, said if he does well Saturday, thinks he could play shortly thereafter

How long will Ricky be limited? He gave a hint: "Let's see how I feel after 3-4 games w/ limited minutes and see if we can move forward."

Listening back to Ricky tape, he might have made some wiggle room here on not playing vs Heat. "It depends how I feel, but that's the plan."

As long as it's an option, I am voting for Barea pounding the air out of the ball.

So many good poll options, but I went with the win.

5 in a rizzow.

Might be tougher than expected. Even if we win a close battle, it would be a good confidence gain for players. I would prefer if we coasted to a win though

[Aleksandar]

Oh, and we one healthy SF Kirilenko, and one healthy SG Shved. They'll have to play heavy minutes again, but Shved seems to be surprisingly well conditioned.

really hoping this 18 minute limit ends after another few games.

[4wanderingeyes]

It did say after 3-4 games they would evaluate how he was doing.

Loompa does love to dribble. And he loves to shoot. But there is nothing sweeter to him than dribbling as long as possible and then shooting.

All told, I have been pretty happy with Loompa this year. He has done a better job of staying in front of his man, done less flopping, and seems to work within the offense more consistently. Dude has been breaking some ankles too.

[PurpleJesus]

Does Rubio have a minute limit again tonight? If so, how many minutes. I would think they would maybe play him around 22 minutes tonight, considering he won't play tomorrow, and that would give him a full two days off before the next game.

whadda ya know, when you ask loompa to be a spark scorer off the bench, instead of a lead guard, he looks better....

I read they plan to stick with the 18 mpg, no back to backs for at least his first 3-4 games back.

everyone make sure to realize the start of the game is 6 tonight, I dont think we have had many 6 o clock starts this year.
