This is going to be another tall order for New Jersey, Eddie Jones does a good job on Vince...so it is going to be hard for him to cary the load with a 40 point night against EJ's defense...they need that 2nd scorer in Jefferson. If Jefferson doesnt play then we are going to need strong performances from Krstic, Robinson and Murray...because after Kidd and Carter, those three are our most capable scoring options. They have to help shoulder some of the load in Jefferson's absence.
If Jefferson isn't atleast 85% I say he shouldn't go. Back spasms are hard to play with and we just got off a 10 game winning streak. We can afford a loss or two, but I just don't want to see him playing on it and end up like Tracy McGrady.
He shouldn't play if he ain't a hundred %...Memphis isn't SA anyway...lol..We still might be able to get a win vs. Memphis even w/o RJ...
