    Skal out for a month and he walked off the court
    Little was carried off the court and was grabbing the middle of his lower leg.

    Great now Stotts can play Melo 37 minutes or put in Mario while ignoring Gabriel.

    The young lost that quarter 27-25 not bad CJ Dame Trent Simons all double figure scoring. Trent continue to grow as the first guard off the bench with decent box score.

    Since when is Stotts ignoring rookie Gabriel? The guy got to start vs Lakers and played 11 minutes tonight.

    I think Melo kind of taking a few step back in his play.

    Playing in Denver during the regular season, it's a mulligan to me. Playing at home against the Spurs is the next real game.

    They showed a replay of him turning his ankle. Of course it could be more, but looks like just a bad sprain.

    He is supposed to go off against his old team. The Melo I saw tonight didn't give two shits...no effort

    Just ran it back and you might be right. High ankle sprain maybe? Probably not a break.

    expectations need to be lower for a guy in his 17th year

    Yeah I ran it back a few times and looked. Let’s hope it’s not more. Probably a pretty bad sprain though.

    Problem is at the beginning of the year he was playing off the ball a lot, and giving more effort on defense. Now he can't be f'ed to move at all on defense, and he's starting taking more and more possessions to isolate on the block.

    After the last week I’m betting he is done after this year.

    Efficient scoring has never been his forte. He is near the bottom of the team in effective field goal percentage and true shooting percentage. He needed more shots tonight to make his box score look better. He would have gotten them in New York.

    Well we rarely play well at altitude so not concerning overall. Much more important to beat the Spurs and push them behind us.
