Add Donovan to the list of injuries.

Gonna need another big game from NAW and Conley. Hopefully JC stays hot. This will be a good gut check.

What exactly is a "calf contusion?"

Add Donovan to the list of injuries.

It's Butler and Sneed time.

 

[Agent#00]

NAW is the time for NAW

What exactly is a "calf contusion?"

It the official term for "I have a booboo on my calf."

 

[Jingled]

What exactly is a "calf contusion?"

A contusion is basically just a bruise.

Really should consider sitting Rudy and Mike too.

 

[fishonjazz]

Jared Butler!!!

Nice, I see we're tanking for 6th. Smart move.

This. Might as well schedule loss this sucker and play all the new guys today. Whiteside has been killing it so if he decides to be connected we won't lose much there until he sits to rest. Give Juancho, NAW, Butler, Paschall all some heavy burn.

Minnesota's remaining schedule is tough, so I think it is unlikely we fall to 7th, but not unfathomable. I'd like to see that scenario become even more unlikely before tanking for 6th.

 

[Avery]

I'd sit Mike knowing we have a six game road trip starting tonight where we'll no doubt stink a few times.

Cause we want to play who? Warriors? I will take it i guess

Ya and even if we sit everyone i think we have a chance to win. We are at home, the clippers are no juggernaut and lack star power themselves, and our deep bench is better than ever imo.

Yep, this. Sit all of the ones with fraggle bodies, let them heal up a bit.


Damn sometimes I really miss the days of Stockton and Malone when most stars played most of the season. I know there were injuries, but they didn't sit anyone for "rest" days really.

This proves that out:



For the 20-21 season:

"The increase was even more pronounced when focusing on the league's stars. This season's All-Stars missed 370 of a possible 1,944 games (19%), the highest percentage in a season in NBA history, according to Elias Sports Bureau. They missed an average of 13.7 regular season games each this year."

Yeah there was the short off-season, and some different situations, but it is still a bunch of games missed, and how many of those were "rest" games as opposed to real injuries?
