Lebron James is a gametime decision.

HOW USEFUL!

LMFAO

Joakim Noah sprained his left ankle early in Saturday's win over the Bobcats and did not return.

This can only help the Bulls bench...

Rip Hamilton played with a protective sleeve on his right hyper-extended elbow on Saturday.

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071202/SPORTS03/712020708/1051

"Just try to make it tough for him," Hamilton said. "I think at times you just try to deny him the ball, not let him get the ball. You know, any great scorer, you just try to take away their touches. My teammates did an excellent job of helping me out."

Steve Francis didn't play at SacK yesterday because he had a sore lower back.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/5345141.html

I was wondering why he was benched...when he's healthy, I'd expect to see more of him.

Jermaine O'Neal is doubtful for Sunday's game at the Clippers.

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071202/SPORTS04/712020413/1088/SPORTS04

He has a sore shoulder to go with his knee and ankle injuries. That's good for the Pacers' chances at a win.

Marquis Daniels missed friday's game, and he's questionable for tonight's game.

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071202/SPORTS04/712020413/1088/SPORTS04

That's actually a problem for the pacers.....he's been pretty useful as a backup PG.

 

[redbearde]

Sam Cassell is doubtful for the Pacers game with that strained left calf.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/baske...855.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-nba-clippe

With the pacers' frenetic running style, that's not good news for the Clips.

 

[redbearde]

Smush Parker is not expected to travel with the team on the upcoming road trip.

http://www.miamiherald.com/594/story/327876.html

That is GREAT news for the Heat bench production. Turnovers should drop by about 50%.

 

[redbearde]

Al Jefferson has a bruised knee that's hurting his play.

http://www.startribune.com/wolves/story/1585941.html

lucky him...cus what the T'wolves need is to lose another player. It's not like they have much quality to begin with.

 

[redbearde]

Marko Jaric should be available on Tuesday

....does it matter? I mean...can they win a game?

 

[redbearde]

Stephon Marbury, who left Friday's game with a shoulder spasm, expects to play Sunday against the Suns.

[redbearde]

Steve Nash revealed that he hyperextended his right elbow a month ago and "aggravated it really badly" in Friday's game, forcing him to take fewer shots.

[redbearde]

Robert Horry might play in the near future.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/...es/MYSA120207.08C.BKNspurs.horry.297dc68.html

I don't think this is likely yet, and even if he does play it probably won't be for long. He wants to wait til he's mentally ready? wtf? Is he clinically depressed or something?

"I feel fine physically," Horry said. "Mentally, I just want to get some (more) practices in, go up and down, get some full body contact. I'm just trying to get my mind right."

 

[DuY!]

Yahoo have lebron as out for the game

 

[redbearde]

Kurt Thomas is expecting to play against the Warriors.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sonics/2004047314_soni02.html

Good news for Seattle's interior play.

 

[redbearde]

:seeya:

big news.

 

[redbearde]

Line is at 15 now, so obviously Lebron is out.

 

[redbearde]

Robert Swift is likely out for another month...

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/basketball/341823_swift01.html

that's GREAT NEWS for Seattle's interior game.

[redbearde]

GL folks.

Well...I got it with 35 seconds left.

Miami should be ashamed.
