Injury situation not good. Kirk is feeling better, but Taj is probably a no go, and Luol is hurt....Jimmy B and Vlad Rad are going to have to step up. At least Vlad knows this team. I predicted a feel good win, but the force is not with them. This will be a Thibs will to win sort of win. 95-85.
We win if Kirk has near a triple double and creates for his teammates. Every time. Every time is not often enough, sadly.
