Przybilla did not practice Wednesday, but he does intend to play on Thursday.

"The X-Rays were negative, but it's still all black and blue on the outside of my foot,'' Przybilla said. "But I'll be fine. I'm going to play in all 82 games.''

There is a bet, btw, between Joel and one of the trainers, I think. If he plays all 82 games, then at halftime of the last one, he has to kiss Przybilla's ass at midcourt.

...or something like that. He fully intends to play all 82 games...rest assured.

that's not one of my witticisms, either. ...I heard about it during one of the Blazers' broadcasts.

Brandan Wright is on the bench for now because both Biedrins and Harrington are healthy. Good to know he's capable if they need him, tho.

Ben Wallace missed last game. Signing center Lance Allred from the Idaho Stampede is not a good sign for either him or Big Z.

He is questionable for tonight.

Ime Udoka returned to San Antonio to receive treatment for "tarsal tunnel syndrome" in his right ankle.

They expect him to miss 2 games. Look for him Monday...maybe.

from a wizard backers perspective...
I'm trying to think of whether ben Wallace in is a good/ bad thing

 

[redbearde]

opens up rebounding a lot for the Wiz....also with sideshow bob flopping onto the floor all the damn time, it leaves the Cavs shorthanded on defense a lot.

Well put

Btw
I'm on my phone and can't check. Is Wallace in?

 

[redbearde]

Yahoo has him listed as a starter...not sure that's reliable.
