    If we do end up making the playoffs, I have an inkling that we will really miss Ed Davis. Seeing him on the injury report just doesn't feel right. That extra depth down low would definitely be helpful vs. GS or SA.

    We are in trouble if Nurkic gets in foul trouble. Losing Ed will hurt us if we make the playoffs for sure. I would expect NO to bring in another big.

    Would a street free agent be playoff eligible? Not like stotts would play him anyway.

    If Meyers can continue to bang down low and hit threes like he did against the Thunder we will be fine.

    I'm hopeful for the 300th time. He is nearing a full year off the shoulder surgery, now would be a good time for him to hit his stride.

    Alaa Abdelnaby is a reporter or commentator for the sixers. I really wanted to meet him pregame but I am not gonna make the game.

    We can't take this game lightly. Henderson is back in town.

    Alaa Abdelnaby would have been a much better hire than Hurd.

    Still one of the funniest things I've heard is when someone asked him about Duke's academic standards, and he said "The only way I could make 5 A's in college was to spell my name"
