    Curry just rolled his ankle in their game against the Kings. Same ankle that he recently had surgery on. Had to be helped to locker room fwiw.

    Should be mentioned he was defending Jimmer on the perimeter and a little shake made his ankle lose stability to the outside about an inch. Didn't look too bad, but potentially indicative of larger and lingering problems.
    Too bad, hate to see that.

    Damn, that sucks.

    BTW, Dre is beasting in his first preseason game for DEN: 8pts, 6rebs, 12asts in 29mins and started alongside Lawson.

    Rudy did well also with 8pts, 3asts, 2stls in 20mins

    I liked Jerome Randle last year and he's been playing great in his two games for Dallas.

    17 pts in 18 min. of play -- 7-11 FG.

    I'm a big Randle fan too. I think he has a place in this league.

    Faried had 14-6 off the bench in 15 minutes.

    Still mad we passed on him for Smith. Oh well.

    5 games in 6 nights?! Geee-odd!! Fucking heinous.

    Shit if we go 2-3 in that stretch I'll be pretty happy. 3-2 and I'll be ecstatic.

    those other teams are gonna be beat too id say, but yeah, thats a rough stretch

    but every team has a stretch like that? and im going to assume most of their stretches might be against tougher competition? it seems like we might actually have a lucky break in that department

    Damn I would've loved to get Evans at vet min. I kind of like that our guys are more then one trick ponies, but he was mighty good at that trick. Hmm think I would've preferred Evans, but still happy with our pickups. Great deal for the Clips, they needed big man depth.

    I pray Nate keeps LaMarcus' minutes limited, he should only be playing about 30mpg for those stretches. Yes it'll test our bench but its worth the risk. No point in riding our star into the ground just to get a better seed, only to have him gassed and unable to perform in the playoffs.

    Me too. The Clippers replaced Craig Smith with Reggie Evans, a better player for less money. Evans would have been tearing up our game last night with rebounds. I opposed getting Evans because I thought he'd cost more.
