So John Collins, 2 weeks? maybe not

 

 

With Knight I am not worried about Collins being out tomorrow.

Assuming Nate plays him 24 minutes or so. Keldon Johnson smoked Collins last game.

Keldon is a SG sized (6-5, 211) small forward, being used as a PF,

Asking JC to chase him around all game is a bad idea. There is no good matchup for JC against the Spurs since they basically play 4 SG's, but I would think at least if he guarded DeRozen he wouldn't have to leave the paint to guard the 3 point line. Strictly midrange and post ups.

Doesnt matter tomorrow I guess. Gallo is going to have the same issues if he starts at PF.

Man I feel like we just keep slipping backwards with injuries... wasn't long ago we were all looking forward to Hunter being available most of this road trip and Dunn seeing his first minutes, now we're out Collins and those 2 and there's still no line of sight for Reddish getting on the floor.

Its never ending. Imagine how these guys feel inside the locker room, seeing these cats work out every day but not be able to suit up. It hast to be just as demoralizing

Some good news on Hunter and Dunn today!

Remember two weeks ago when we thought that Dunn was going to be making his debut in March? 

I miss those days. They were simpler times then.

Everytime he works out his knee starts bothering him. That's not good.

Gonna be the same thing if we make the Playoffs with Tatum, KD, Tobias, etc....I hope Hunter gets 100%..

I feel like this year he has done better against true Forwards. I think the Tatum's and Harris's are more in his wheel house than a 6-5 KJ.

Keldon is a G/F to me being asked to play PF. And to be honest, he doesn't play PF, he just guards them. He is a true wing on offense running off screens and dribble penetration. Keldon is smaller than Bogi technically. That's not JC's prerogative to matchup with nightly. The Spurs are a one off in that regard.

Collins out at least a week. Not bad. I mean it could be worse.

Yes, Gorgui. We know the basketball gods are not pleased with that. Now, more than this time last week.

Penance sucks.

What the heck is going on with our training staff. Is this just insanely terrible luck or are our guys not getting the correct treatment for their injuries.

One thing I can say for Trae is he's about the only guy on the team that will plays through dings and minor injuries.

I must say it's pretty admirable of him to do that.  Weird how NBA fans hate the idea of guys sitting out as precautions and whatnot.  The golden one sat out a game a week or so ago for "rest" and folks were all up in arms ... but they still keep him in their mvp discussion.

We literally have a guy clearly playing through pain to lead his short-handed team to a road victory against a playoff team and what do we here ............ crickets.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Trae sat tonight.  Considering what Hunter's going through, would you want to have Trae play and end up dealing with that?

Yeah.   Trae should probably rest.   this is where it's nice having Lou.   At least he can score.  

And Goodwin should really be the backup point.   I like Skyler but BG seems to have a better feel on both ends.

Looks like both teams will be sitting a lot of their main buys. Battle of the benches tonight.
