NBA Injuries & Issues for Tuesday

[redbearde]

Earl Watson & Donyell Marshall have the kissing disease, and they didn't travel to the Bay for the game against the Warriors.

This is actually quite a loss in Watson because Earl's been playing some GREAT bball recently.

Looks like the Mavs are going to pick up Jamaal Magloire.

[redbearde]

Andrei Kirilenko & Jarron Collins sat out yesterday's practice with flu-like symptoms.

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,5143,695256441,00.html

They did travel to Minny, though, and they're being call gametime decisions. the Jazz have depth, but Kirilenko's defense is always useful. Be wary of laying 7 against this minny team. ....Jazz haven't been that great on the road this year.

 

[redbearde]

this is a big one.

Stephen Jackson expects to start on Tuesday.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/02/26/SP48V8DB1.DTL&feed=rss.warriors

he practiced without pain. lucky him, and good for the Warriors. Remember Beans is still out.

"I think I'm going to have to put my foot in a boot to heal faster, but it's not bad enough that I can't play with it," said Jackson. "I try to compensate for my ankle sometimes, playing on the front of my foot."

 

[redbearde]

Eddie Jones had a stomach virus on Monday.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...vs/stories/022608dnspomavsbriefs.3c35bf7.html

don't expect him to be useful any more this season.

Looks like Jason Terry is keeping his starting job.

[redbearde]

Sam (proof that aliens exist on earth) Cassell is expected to be bought out of his contract. ...wonder where he'll go? Celtics would be a good spot. hey need a backup PG.

 

[redbearde]

OH!

The second best middle linebacker in the NBA, Anderson Varejao, is expected to return to the Cavs lineup tonight.

http://www.ohio.com/sports/windhorst/15973312.html

That's a great boost for the Cavs bench. This team could be scary good.

 

[redbearde]

Linas Kleiza played last night for the nuggets, and he looked pretty good.

I'd expect him to eat into JR Smith's minutes.

 

[redbearde]

Kurt Thomas played well for the Spurs on Monday.

He didn't score much, but no one did, really.....9 rebs, 2 blocks, and a steal in 13 minutes is great help for them on the inside.

 

[redbearde]

Spurs scored 5pts in the 1st Q yesterday, and they still managed to crush the hawks by the end of the game.

This Atlanta team hasn't improved at all since December. They had moments of looking good early on, but they still suck overall....

 

[redbearde]

TJ Ford played very well yesterday. He wasn't driving hesitantly. He was hitting buckets. He was dishing pretty well.

16pts, 7 assists, and 5 rebs is damned nice off the bench.

I wouldn't expect him to take over for Calderon any time soon, though...

 

[redbearde]

warriors -14?

is that a fucking joke?

 

[redbearde]

Damien Wilkins has a strained wrist. Chris Wilcox has a bronchial infection.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sonics/2004203381_soni26.html?syndication=rss

They are both doubtful tonight.

GOD I hope the sonics are up at halftime...

 

[tazz]

props to you making this thread daily

 

[redbearde]

oh, I don't do it every day. but I try.....

peace bro.

 

[redbearde]

bad news for philly...

Samuel Dalembert missed practice on Monday with a sore foot, an irritating ankle, and a thigh bruise.

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20080226_Sixers_Dalembert_sits_out_practice.html

"The foot started hurting a little bit, and the ankle was swelling up,"

He's questionable for Wednesday. Even if he plays, he's gotta be limited somewhat with a busted up foot. I think that's a huge loss for the 76ers....

 

[redbearde]

Vladimir Radmanovic's MRI showed he has a strained calf.

http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakerep26feb26,1,3303553.story?track=rss

big fuckin deal. Sasha Vujacic will spend more time on the floor, get more shots, and they'll win by an even larger margin......

 

[philjackson]

nice work red bro

 

[redbearde]

Chris Kaman had an MRI that showed "substantial inflammation" in his lower back.

http://www.dailynews.com/ci_8363600?source=rss

Don't expect him to play very soon. His back is sore, and I doubt he wants to play fight in the trenches with it...

 

[redbearde]

Pat Riley has said that Udonis Haslem will 'probably' start for the Heat on Tuesday.

http://www.miamiherald.com/594/story/433468.html

 

[redbearde]

Nate McMillan expects to start

Steve Blake at point guard,
Martell Webster at shooting guard,
Travis Outlaw at small forward,
LaMarcus Aldridge at power forward
Joel Przybilla at center

......um. brace yourselves for the huge upset over the Lakers.

Yao Ming is OUT for tonight's game with a flat tire.

Bad news for Rockets.

Turns out to be a stress fracture on his foot, as just reported on Houston 610. The Rockets station. He is OUT for the rest of the season and post-season, if any.

 

[Slug]

what a bummer for the rockets. I feel bad; just when they were starting to turn it around...

 

[redbearde]

that really sucks for them. Mutombo gets to play some, tho...so we should see a lot of this

in the upcoming weeks

 

[redbearde]

Jamaal Magloire is apparently going to sign with the Mavs as soon as he clears waivers tonight.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/022708dnspomavsbriefs.2eca182e.html

...whatever will the rockettes do.......

 

[redbearde]

Bonzi Wells and Mo Pete sat out of practice on Tuesday.

http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2008/02/wells_sits_out_tuesdays_practi.html

they're questionable for wednesday's game.

 

[cogenman]

Sam (proof that aliens exist on earth) Cassell is expected to be bought out of his contract. ...wonder where he'll go? Celtics would be a good spot. hey need a backup PG.

:36_11_6: better proof then UFO sightings.
