    They were in a good position to take risks in that they had a good young team already. And they're still risks - MPJ so far is like Anfernee - can he put his manifest offensive gifts to the service of the team? Will Bol Bol escape injury? He looks like a bundle of twigs. But then again, so did his dad.
    The best thing that those guys could do for the team, I think, is be assets in a trade. I still hope for that for Anfernee.

    Play in game if they finish 9th? I guess I know nothing about this format. I thought it was 8 games and wherever you land you land?

    Here's how it goes. After the 8 "seeding games," IF the 9th place team, say us, is within 4 games of the 8th seed, say Memphis which is now 3.5 games ahead of us, that would trigger a play-in tournament. Here's how that works. The 9th place team must beat the 8th seed on August 15th AND 16th to steal the 8th seed. If we lose the first or second game, we're out.

    It would be a bigger deal if these were spectator events. I think they can transport the essential people to arenas.

    I don't think this one will be a hurricane when I gets to Florida, but I've been wrong before.

    Boy How about that "Around the NBA Restart Edition" thread?

    Seems like it is really keeping up with the times.

    I heard Lillard is out Friday as well.

    What word? There is nothing about it on Casey, Quick, or Woj's twitter feeds. They'd be all over it if it was an issue. And Stotts said everyone will be available on Friday. Where are you getting your info?
