It says Kira is out for season. How is that not accurate?
The post he replied to had a screenshot saying New Orleans had no injuries.

Not with the full team. It’s only been with player development coaches and end of bench players.

Right.

Regardless it would be awesome if they know something or he does play.

We just don’t have any reason to believe it.

Griffin basically told TNT that he wouldn’t play even if we made the playoffs.

CJ
BI
Herb
Zion
Val

I want to see that lineup against the Suns so bad. We could be a 50 win club next season with the right support pieces. Hopefully we’re on the Memphis trajectory and we’ll be competing with them for the division next year.

Zion coming in against the 2s at the 8min mark in the 1st/3rd has to worst case for Suns especially CP3. Given his age, I would assume he needs the rest time so having not only Zion playing but playing his bull in a China cabinet style means probably less rest for CP3 and more getting beat on as well.

being realistic, the suns and grizz are much better than the rest of the west playoff teams, pels included.

If they play their game the current roster can hang with any of the other six teams, but not those two. So a choice has to be made:

1) try to win this suns series and advance
2) just be “happy to be there” and get quickly eliminated

for those who say #2 is OK, there’s no guarantee the pels will be back in the playoffs next year. Ingram is healthy and peaking. CJ is CJ. Herb, Trey and Jose are super confident and getting more so. The pels are in the playoffs and have as much of a chance as any of the other 7 teams.

Zion changes everything. If they can get past the suns they can go all the way to the WCF. This is an opportunity no different than any other future opportunity

Play the man and let’s go win this series. Otherwise this is kinda a waste of time. Nobody on this team needs a reminder of how it feels to lose.

Do teams make rosters for each playoff round? I don't remember about NBA but MLB does require rosters for the round before game 1. IF this happens, then with a tighter rotation they might deactivate someone else to not exclude Zion.

Yeah, there's zero chance of Zion until Game 3. They could practice after Game 2.

I personally think that he "should" be ready for Game 3, but I don't really think that he's going to play then.

JV definitely would and will start when Zion returns.

With that said, i do think those 5 guys you have named will be a solid group together.

That wasn’t a starting lineup I was listing.

I was giving a small ball lineup I wanted to see.

I was going to be the first to respond but reading that made the blood rush away from my head so fast that I passed out for a few minutes.

No reason why Zion can’t come off the bench like Steph did last night




What's the over-under when the next season ending injury will occur????
