If you were coach, would you start Jrue on Tues v Nugs or Wed v Thunder

He won't likely play back to back. So do you go for the more likely win versus nuggets at home or attempt to save him and try to steal a win on ESPN against the thunder on Wednesday?

IMO you save him for thunder to guard Russ. He did a solid job last year.

Is there any updated on the restriction? Is this shite going to go on all year?

Every win is precious right now and you can't take any for granted. You put all your eggs in beating the lottery team at home, not the contender on the road on a SEGABABA.

Joel has said the hope is that he'll be cleared of restrictions in January.

I totally agree with this. I don't think we beat either team without him, and your best bet to beat one with him is the Kine Buds.

How about cut him and get someone who can actually play a basketball game on consecutive days?

how about we cut AD too because he always seems to miss multiple games a season.

I'd play him both nights because he is being paid 11 million dollars to play basketball and he isn't hurt. But that's just me.

The entire problem with the lottery is that it's a lottery. Finishing last only gives you a 25% chance at the #1 pick meaning there's a 75% chance someone else gets it.

Ha. Totally, I am that guy. I should bump that thread from when Reke went down. I argued we should play Jrue without restrictions because if we don't we will dig a hole too deep to make the playoffs.

LA sports are depressing right now. Get to watch AD at least.

Wat? You didn't win any argument. You wanted to ignore jrue's injury and play him a full load like last season which got him reinjured and forced him to miss the 2nd half of the season. People arguing with you wanted to make sure we have him for the 2nd half of the season fully healthy. I dont see anything that leads you to believe that you've somehow won the argument and would make you want to bump the thread in victory

Nugs

And FWIW, he's played the first game of each back to back so far IIRC. Team will probably stick to that
