The mental image in my mind...seeing Meyers sprinting up the floor, beating everyone back...arms straight up in the air as he runs...has got me in a perma-state of chuckling.
I would say Joel needs two games minimum before the playoffs to get the rust off. I know he hopes for the GS game as well. Lets hope it happens.
Its likely too early for tonight, but the Kings seem ripe to bring a guy back against...their own coach said his players who were out there the other night didn't seem like they wanted to be out there. A nice defeated team with no desire to play spoiler on the road...Bring forth the development squad! Should make em start....Give me Mo, T-rob, Will, CJ, and Joel to tip things off see how it goes. (would NEVER happen, but if there was a game to do it...)
If he's not 100%, which he won't be this season, he'll hurt us more than help us. A big man with pain in his knee is useless on defense.
This game would be one where I would consider playing 5 guys in and 5 guys out. I know it won't happen but it could provide some rest for the starters and force the bench to look for their own offense instead of feeding Nic and Wes when on the court. I don't expect Joel to be contributing much for a few games. he's been out a long time.
What I would love about doing that without prior notice is it would completely throw off the other team's game plan.
