They better both play Tuesday…also I’d consider starting Yuta over Allen on Saturday. The Jazz play big and don’t really have a primary perimeter threat we need to be overly worried about.

Give me a Gordon/Okogie/Yuta/KD/Nurk lineup

The ONLY good thing about this… we’re seeing what does and doesn’t work against some of these potential playoff teams but would rather see our team building some cohesiveness.

Shouldn't Frank Johnson be in there somewhere?

Terry Porter will make sure there are plenty of frank Johnsons drawn during the next team building arts and crafts hour.

Not looking good for the 2/3 who voted for the Big 3 appearing in a majority of the games, and maybe not for my "optimistic" 29-41 vote, either. :?

This was kind of to be expected if you look at their history, though. If you're gonna risk it all on the Big 3 staying healthy, then it just comes down to timing and luck. Beginning of the season is better than the end. But it's hard to have confidence in all three being--and staying--healthy for the playoffs.

Let's just hope the two least optimistic are wrong. :)

I just always felt that with load management and injuries they'd get maybe 1/3 of the season or so... maybe 30 games. I just felt that we would play it cautious and can afford to with the depth we have.

It's just a drag as a fan to be missing two of your top three to start the season. Oh, well. As long as we keep winning, I guess.

It’s been 3 games(4 after tonight)…I hardly think this means anything yet. It won’t take much to get back on track for playing half the games together

I didn't vote because predicting injuries just felt like bad karma. :lol:

I won't be worried if they're playing together for two months leading up to the playoffs. Less than that and I'll be skeptical of them winning the Finals. It's more about how they finish games together than anything else, IMO. They need those reps before the games become significant.

I'd rather rest guys than grind them to the bone and limp into the postseason. If Book or Beal need some games to rest, they're welcome to do so. We have a ton of hungry guys on the roster who want minutes, anyway, and no shortage of offensive firepower. We have the luxury of being able to rest some of our core players as needed. Vogel does seem to "get" load management as an important thing to do, which I like.

Booker probably isn’t playing both Saturday and Sunday unfortunately. Sunday is @Detroit so I’d guess he wants to play that one. I’m gonna guess he sits out tomorrow.

Also how has the nba not at least figured out to make b2b home games..or at the very least in the same city.

This is almost like back to back to back due to the 10 am start on Saturday.
