As ever, I'm on the road Tuesdays and Wednesdays so I can't watch the game til Thursday. But I'm rooting for a win- the odds are stacked against us but I'm not ready for our season to go down in flames yet. We have to win this one by any means necessary! Watch out for Paul George to have a big game, so we'll need a few players to step up big time.

Iman Shumpert is here at the arena and looks like he will try to play. Nothing official yet. Woodson speaking at 5:30.
From Beck's twitter. Not sure if this is good or bad

Mike Woodson says Iman Shumpert will play and start tonight.

Shump may be limited though. I dont know if knee pain can go away that quickly...and with JR and Kmart being sick, we really need everyone else step up.

I worry about Shump playing. I always thought his first injury was related to what happened on opening night when he got hurt last year. I hope his playing isn't a mistake.

Shots. His line will be 9 for 40.
JR for 40 shots is similarly ambiguous!
40 ineffectual minutes?
I was going more with the drinking theme, but that works too.
40 ounce spliff!
Woodys going big. Kmart to start.

Me too Crush. I thought he came back too early last season actually. This season I didnt think he did though. Either way, knee swelling isnt something to take lightly. I dont think the team is stupid enough to play him though if he has any risks of aggravating it.

I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like we can't outbig them because that's kinda what they want. On the other hand, we haven't been out..smalling them either

This biggest positive of this is that Kidd wont be the PG for the 2nd unit or we wont have to overplay either Ray or Pablo to help him out. Pablo hopefully can get the 2nd unit going.
I remember when Jeff Vandummy was too stubborn to play Camby and Spree because in 1999, he wanted to roll with the Vets but Injuries opened the door and they never left the lineup and went on to the finals.
This could be Copeland time to shine because of injury to Shumpert.

Woodson goes big: Felton-Shumpert-Melo-KMart-Tyson is the starting five. Pablo off the bench. Might we see Camby, too?
I am not sure if I like this lineup. I really like what Pablo brings when he is on the court. Hope he gets a lot of minutes.

reminds me of tayshaun prince,
he was a nobody in the regular season, then in the playoffs he emerged as a top defender and was a critical piece to the pistons championship run

He's from Chicago he will take a shot, if wade plays with his knee I'm sure Shumpert will give it a go.

Oh no I meant that he might not play as well as he has been so far

His block on Reggie is one of my all time favorite plays
