    And the Lakers will be on the second night of a back-to-back. Kendall Marshall's looking good, though.

    It's pretty pathetic that we have to depend on ish like this, but you're right.

    No Kobe.
    No Nash.
    No Farmar.
    No Henry.
    No Blake.

    Falling to a likely starting lineup of Sacre, Wes Johnson, Kendall Marshall, Jodie Meeks and Gasol -- a couple of nights after they got walloped by the under .500 Nuggets -- that would be pretty unforgivable. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be shocked. :-/ I trust Dwight to dominate if we go to him early and often, though.

    ETA: And if we don't inexplicably stop going to him in the 2nd half.

    Could go either way. Rockets have yet to prove they can be trusted.

    Ok, not to dump everything on McFail, but is this team actually snakebit or are they just doing a p-sspoor job in protecting their players? I've never seen such a young roster have this many injuries. Hell, even the Dream/Barkley/Drexler AARP squad in 1996-97 didn't go through this.

    Holy schet.

    Injuries

    Injuries everywhere

    Obviously McHale forced Jones and Parsons to hit each others knees.

    They hate that part of practice. But you have to toughen them up for when it happens in games...
