Gasol, who had an MRI in Boston today after injuring foot in Brooklyn last night, is expected to get a second opinion in the coming days.

25m Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS
One option for Gasol is rehab, with estimated timetable of 6-8 weeks. Surgery would mean 10-12 weeks, with better chance of full recovery.

This might be a blessing in disguise.

How so??

We need to sign Slava Medvendenko and Samaki Walker.... We're desperate....

[LoveMeOrHateMe]

**** this season!! Injuries and bad coaching really did us bad this year! We need Howard now more then ever!!
Step up Get in the playoffs! And gasol get surgery dude!


Btw welcome Kenyon Martin!

If Howard comes back, I think our starting 5 of Nash, Kobe, Metta, Clark and Howard is fine. But it will hurt our depth. More Sacre is not a good thing. If Howard is back we might be able to find a way. If Howard is out for more games this is horrible.

Look at Houston's schedule, it's brutal. IF dwight comes back soon we should still be able to get at least an 8th seed, as long as we continue to play hard like we have been lately. Just get ready for the playoffs (if we are able to make it) pau. This will be his first time getting "rest" in about 5 years.

Also, Time for Jamison to step it up. He's been solid lately. He needs to keep that up with even more minutes now. This is when we need him. I have faith in him.

How so??

Well it would allow howard to be the main post guy and also allow gasol to fully heal. The team is good enough to make the playoffs in the 5-8 slot without gasol. So we would have a better shot at making a run with gasol being 100%.

I think we can still compete for the 5th seed. If we keep playing this style of play, there is little most teams can do to beat us.

^ exactly what I was thinking plus getting Pau back right before the playoffs might be the boost this team needs to take it all the way. Hopefully Pau heals completely and embraces coming off the bench when he returns.

But we have to unite w/ Howard & Kobe.

[GetShrutedOn]

****......this sucks. We wouldn't have won anything with him in the lineup anyway, but this is just going to make it more difficult to make the playoffs. Hopefully he can come back before then if we do end up making it...

****. Did the say what the injury was? Last night after the injury, I predicted torn plantar fascia, minimum 4 weeks.

[KillaInstinct24]

we're losing bigs at an alarming rate. FO needs to sign someone using that injury exception
