NBA Injuries & Issues for Monday

[redbearde]

wow...the Heat...just....wow.

http://www.miamiherald.com/594/story/405274.html

Even during practice, the Heat can't catch a break. The already short-handed Heat was down to eight players Sunday, with forward Luke Jackson out with the flu. His status for Monday's game against Toronto is uncertain.


Center Joel Anthony (quad) also is injured and might not be available. Shaquille O'Neal (hip) and Udonis Haslem (left ankle) remain sidelined. Both players were at practice and Haslem continues to wear a protective boot. Coach Pat Riley said he is unsure whether Haslem will play before the All-Star break Feb. 15. The Heat figures to enter the Raptors game with at least eight available players, the minimum required by the NBA.


''It's an ongoing problem,'' Riley said. ``I think that's probably one of the problems we've had all year. The guys starting in games very rarely ever practice because of injuries and stuff so it's hard to get anything together. That's why I think there's so much breakdown on the court. I think that has been one of our major problems with our mistakes.''

I'm relatively certain of the Raptors winning by DD, but this is an awful lot of road chalk...

 

[redbearde]

Corey Maggete is probable for tonight, and Chris Kaman is questionable.

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NBA&id=932

Kaman's shin should be absolutely fine, but he apparently lost like 10 pounds due to that "particularly virulent flu" he had. I want to see him play before I assume he's good to go.

 

[redbearde]

Jameer Nelson has fallen out of the rotation in Orlando due to sucking too much ass on the court.

the Magic still don't play defense, but Arroyo & Co seem to be handling the PG position relatively well.......as long as no one presses them.

 

[redbearde]

TJ Ford actually practiced with the Raptors on Sunday.

so what?

it's not like they're planning on bringing his ass back anytime soon. "maybe they bring him off the bench on Friday"....? ya, whatever.

 

[redbearde]

Andre Iguodala has the flu, and he didn't practice yesterday.

be wary for tonight's game. If he can't go, that's a huge loss for philly.

 

[redbearde]

Marcus Camby is questionable for tonight with a bruised knee. The nuggets will likely need him...

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_8158965

Eduardo Najera, the best middle linebacker in the NBA, skipped last game because of a bruised rib, but he said he'd try to play tonight.

 

[redbearde]

Devean George is squawking about being traded to where he'd get more playing time.

[philjackson]

let riley suit up already!

 

[redbearde]

Tyrus Thomas & Ben Wallace missed practice on Sunday, but both should play today.

 

[redbearde]

let riley suit up already!

well, they have 8, so I don't think that's necessary yet.

 

[redbearde]

Kevin Garnett is doubtful for tonight, and I don't think he'll play this week. Doc still sounds extremely timid about letting him play til he's 100%.

...can't blame him.

 

[redbearde]

confirmation:

http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/2008/02/garnett_to_miss_1.html

KG will not be playing at all Tuesday and Wednesday, and he may not even be traveling with the team to Minny.

 

[redbearde]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

TJ Ford may play tonight...

http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/300260

"I think I'm going to give it a shot tonight," said Ford. "I feel like I'm 100% coming in to playing...so I'll come in early, break a sweat."

[El Mago]

Thanks for the in Red, love your ml dogs, I like to look for them too, screw the pts eh...

I really like ATL.. i mean... Nj is a better team in the standings(barely) and they were like -6.5 and now phil is only getting 5 with a possible weakend AI that doesnt make sense... unless the books know something I don't I will be on the hawks for sure

also like the Heat for the same reason.. I mean SA was -8 on tnt thurs and now raps are -9?! so does that mean raps are better then SA.. I dont think so...

I know these 2 reasons sound kinda strange but it is a new theory i m trying... GL Red

 

[redbearde]

right now I think the raps are better than the spurs.

at any rate, the ML dog wins have been tough to come by. that's why I haven't had a thread on em in a few days.

GL tonight, bro.

looks like Damon Stoudamire is going to come off the bench for a while.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/...A020508.BKN_spurs-pacers_manu.en.37ea0ad.html

The idea is to get him acclimated to the Spurs' schemes.

 

[redbearde]

Kobe Bryant didn't practice yesterday so he could get some rest.

expect him to play today, but who knows how this affects Gasol's ability to play with him.

probly not at all....

 

[redbearde]

Shaq & Haslem aren't likely to travel with the team to Detroit & Philly.

http://www.miamiherald.com/594/story/406657.html

 

[redbearde]

Jamal Crawford has denied a reported interest in being traded.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...al_crawford_denies_trade_wish_-2.html?ref=rss

"It's interesting it was in a blog," Crawford said. "It wasn't even a real article. Maybe that was his own opinion."

Crawford's been a big pile of poop on the court the last few games. I blame Isaiah for the Portland loss.....why keep running plays for Crawford to take bad contested shots?

 

[redbearde]

Michael Redd did not travel with the team to Memphis, and he's not expected in Dallas either.

 

[redbearde]

Kirk Hinrich is trying to rejoin the team. so he can play tomorrow night

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/fullcourtpress/2008/02/hinrich-update.html

Call it a gametime decision, sure, but he wouldn't bother if he wasn't going to try to play....I'd assume he's playing unless he gets into a car wreck with Bobby Hurley....
