    Dame has Plantar Fasciitis. Its not like he just came back from surgery or has terrible knees.

    While we have at least a 50-50 chance, I wouldn't say we're more than likely going to win.

    I was really looking forward to this game. But now with Dame hurt (along with Mo & Ed), I no longer really care so long as we have home court and are healthy for G1.

    I never miss us playing the Spurs. Pure hate compels me.

    Winning this game would GET us HCA so get psyched. Isn't Ed coming back tomorrow too?

    Without Ed, I'm not very optimistic. We lack inside presence, when Nurk sits. That is hurting us. Our other 7 footers don't like to play inside. They just want to jack up 3 pointers ... and they can't even make them consistently. All they really need is sit by the rim and dunk lobs (ala Jordan from the Clippers).

    Heal your best player. Insert the hungry bench players. Baldwin, and Company should play major minutes.

    You should stop sitting and maybe get some exercise.

    Both teams playing in this game would get swept in a 7 game series against the Rockets. I still laugh when I think of Lillard guarding Harden. Terry Stotts is retarded.

    Stop man. Stop. He’s 26. Dame stills get better every year just as CJ. He’s a better defender now

    Why? If there's no risk of re-injuring and it isn't going to prolong recoverer through the first game of playoffs, then why not?
