Ouch, hopefully it just swelled up a bit and he'll be fine after ice and some rest.

New plan:  we rest our starters until the end of the season, with the goal of hanging on to the #8 seed.  That way, we get a better draft pick, as well as going into the playoffs healthy.

Just kidding...  sort of.

I'm with you on the "sort of" part....Can we lobby to make the All-Star break two weeks long?

  In a way, it's somewhat funny. He's at practice, they practice what happens in games in practice, he keeps bumping his knee in games...

Man, I really can't stand Shelden Williams....EVERY time I see him drop a pass(which is always)...and NOW this---he sucks....this guy is a JINX---probably the reason we've had so many injuries all year

Sadly, I kinda wish this would happen. I mean, either way, it's a 4 team division. Either way we face 1 or 2 out of: Atlanta, Orlando, Cleveland. Not worried about anyone else.

But then imagine if, through the right combo of teams being afraid, we could add, say, Evan Turner going into next season?

  Weird flashback. Thought you were referencing Landon Turner for a minute.

Exactly. You hear "back" and it's really scary, but he just broke a bone. No spinal damage, no weird recurring disc thing, or spasms, or things like that. I bet he'll be fine. But he'll slip a few spots, "just in case."

Well we still have a better record on the road than at home.  8th seed would save us from home court disadvantage.
