Anybody heard any rumblings about this?  I don’t want him coming back too early so we hopefully have him if take the series but he is definitely a factor in the paint and on the boards.

If it's a bone bruise as they are reporting you have to "man up" for your team and give us something even if it's just 15 minutes.

I’m betting the coaches are gambling they can close the series without him and bring him back next series. …..which , if they can pull it off , is the most likely the right strategy .

 It’s probably a lie about the bone bruise.

It may not be a case of his being willing to play.  If the bruise limits his lateral movement and jumping ability, it's more about him being effective.

Yep.  Time Lord is special because of his explosive leaping.  If he can’t do that, he loses his value very quickly.

Right now I feel team wants a 100% TL or they go with better spacing of Al, Theis, and Grant.

They should still have him in uniform . If there is foul trouble and you just need a minute or two to finish the 3rd or the end in a close game. Unless its career threatening he should at least be available for emergency

If Khris Middleton is coming back, then you need to play Rob.

And isn't Middleton a game-time decision still

Yesterday, Windhorst said KM was unlikely to be ready for the start of the ECF series if the Bucks advance.

Yeah, he’s out tomorrow:

Rob brings a verticality that would really tell in a game 7 of this grueling series, especially in the second half. Milwaukee's been able to neutralize Rob as a lob threat and rebounder, but his presence alone impacts the game because they have to put a body on him at all times.

He also gives us the option of going big, have great rim protection during the entire game, and putting everyone in their proper place as far as position and minutes.

Rob's fresh legs in the seventh game of this series are welcome if he's healthy; if not, he should sit. We've seen how rough Giannis and that Bucks team is wouldn't want him to aggravate an injury before the Miami series.
