Well if they ain’t playing maybe you start someone with more size like Little to hound Wemby…although Wemby isn’t really good enough yet to be making adjustments like that.
I think we roll with our normal lineup and if that goes bad, there’s always Thursday haha

Sit him as long as is it takes. Even if that means multiple weeks.

I my gut tells me Booker will be back by the end of this week.
You can't even fit a sheet of paper under him on some of those jumpers. Yikes.

Doesn't look like Beal is close to returning. Oh well. Rest him. Get better, fella.

Let Beal rest until he's not shooting Andre Miller's shots.

My gut tells me Beal is couple weeks away, while Booker will probably be back by the end of the week or early next week.

These predictions are completely base on my gut metrics.

I hope they're both back by next Thursday for the first tournament game against the Lakers.

I think you guys are overreacting to a simple video. I’m not worried at all. I bet he plays Saturday

Hate to be pessimistic but the way Beal looks there, he might be at least 2 weeks away if not more. Really frustrating because of how good he looked in the preseason only to have this come up right at the start of the season.

I keep telling myself that all this extra responsibility for the role players will pay off as the season progresses.

Might have to change that prediction on the number of games the Big 3 play together.

Will you take the over or under on 17 games.

It's just a bummer.... the one guy I thought would have health issues is the one playing. I can already foresee what's going to happen... This is all going to put too much strain on KD and he'll be out the latter half of the season. They still need to load manage KD, even with Book and Beal out or we're setting him up to be out later.

I'll go over 17. The key is to be lining things up to play your best basketball post All-Star break and into the playoffs. If we can get all 3 back playing 100% by Christmas, it'd be ideal. Christmas to All-Star is one stretch and then post All-Star thru the playoffs is the stretch run. But 1 in, 2 out or 2 in and 1 out throughout the year is just choppiness we don't need with bench guys moving in and out of the lineup. Then next thing you know EG has played more minutes than he should and he's missing games with a hamstring or ankle or something.

Too late! Then it's no longer a prediction.
