Kyrie Irving is OUT with a concussion, but is seemingly symptom free. He should be back relatively soon. Anderson Varejao has a displaced wrist fracture. There is no timetable for his return, but he's out for a long time, it seems.

I like that the team is proceeding cautiously with this concussion. Make sure he’s absolutely perfect before he returns because it isn’t worth risking his health for this season, and besides, the extra rest might be good for him
sexsalad - February 11, 2012
I agree. Reports make it sound like he’s good to go now.

So, Lin vs Rubio tonight…
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
dude, what are your thoughts on lin? my fantasy team has benefitted from his production this week. is there anyway this guy sticks around as a starter for years?
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012

Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
That’s an excellent article, read it earlier today
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
mehh the link isnt opening for me, i tried googling it too, think the website is down or something
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
nvm got it
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Meh.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
This player intros is depressing
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Semih Erden show!!!
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
“he’s from israel, OMRI CASSPI”
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
semih truck starting tonight, should be interesting
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
we are overmatched everywhere except SG
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Casspiii
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
follows it with an airball #spoilerAlert
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Nice air ball, Casspi.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Blehh
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
not missing
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Wow, Jamison
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
jamison playing with some fire tonight actually. his defensive rotations have been good so far too. i am so afraid of another massive losing streak sans andy though.
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Me too.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
then we have to read all those fucking stupid headlines again, “look at the cavs now”
vomit
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Honestly Antawn doing well could be awesome, if we can dump him and tank real bad we can do some nifty stuff in the draft
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Yes, seriously. I would do really immoral things to get Barnes or Gilchrist.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
MKG <3
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
It could be a blessing…we need to get a good draft pick.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
hive mind
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
It won’t be a blessing if Varejao gets injured 20 games into every season.
If Manu’s broken hand/surgery kept him out 5 weeks, is it reasonable to think a minor(?) fracture will keep Varejao out 3-4 weeks?
MondayNightTebow - February 11, 2012
Yeah probably.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
barring rehab setbacks
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
i will say, however, that the defensive intensity seems to be there tonight even missing a few guys. big difference from last year is that i havent really seen this team ‘give up’ once
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Hey look, it’s Jamison
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
BOOBIE
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Omri Casspi has all of your fail.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
I was excited, and then disgusted
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
shooooooot
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Semih Erden blows.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
In other news, Jeremy Lin is having a good week
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Razor Ramon
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Nice take, Sessions.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Wow, pretty pass from Ramon
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Casspi has been doing better lately, though it’s a bit hard to be worse than he was to begin the season
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
he’s looking more like the player he was rookie year recently. definitely attacking the basket more. wish he could get that stroke going though
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
he has also done decent so far on defense
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
His defense has been surprisingly good lately, I’m starting to get that pitbull idea
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
I’m taking bet’s on what time Lin starts trending on Twitter, my guess is 8:11
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
ill take the under on that haha
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Probably. I might watch the game tomorrow if I get time
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
#WeloveSG&TS is currently trending… Shooting guard and transsexual?
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
sessions with a nice, nice move
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Did not think that was going in
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
TT could really do with a little learning how to play offense. I don’t think Jamison is the right teacher for him
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
(When he doesnt force it) Thompson seems to have a decent array of moves, and the wingspan to get his shot up over the defender. He seems to kind of short arm the ball though whenever he goes to that little hook or whatever
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Agreed, but he forces it almost always
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
True, but like that last one for example, he had a nice one-dribble move and then just kinda clunked it off the rim. i guess he just needs to develop a little touch, and im hoping that something that can be developed.
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
It can be, and he’s definitely the kind of guy that will put in that work
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
TT with some decent moves, just needs to finish
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Skyenga!
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Apparently he’s really worried about his parents in Congo and calls them every two hours or so to make sure they’re ok. The organization should think about trying to get them over here, if he learns how to play he’ll be awesome.
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
if they would want to live in america, gilbert should hook them up
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
It’s really hard to get a green card, but with resources like Gilbert’s it would seem possible
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Not a terrible first quarter.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
i thought once we went down like 9-5 we were headed for blowout haha
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
It’s not too late for that!
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Whitney Houston died…
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
lebrons fault?
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Always
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
also, random, but i am a big lou williams fan
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
He’s one of the best offensive PGs out there
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
This could get ugly.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
once ky and andy are back in the game we got this!
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
ouch.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
We’re a fourth quarter team!
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Charles Barkley must love meatballs
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
skyenga looking lost o_O
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Thats his usual look
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
We gotta get his parents out here
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
for those keeping track, that’s one “Get That” for Tristan Thompson, and one “Weak Stuff out of Here” for Christian Eyenga.

This is awfully awful
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Well, at least we have Ryan Hollins
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
silver lining
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
Ryan “Silver Lining” Hollins, i actually kind of like that
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
ramon and jamison doing their best to get traded
FrenchToast979 - February 11, 2012
I’m gonna switch to Linsanity. Way more fun.
MondayNightTebow - February 11, 2012
I might as well.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Maybe they’ll trade him for Razor Ramon. It makes sense.
MondayNightTebow - February 11, 2012
Goodness, they are way better than us.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
Cavaliers>Clippers>Sixers, it’s the transitive property of equality

im out guys! see ya for the next one

Semih Erden is garbage.

Anyone still here? We’re getting rocked like I predicted.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
I am! My score guess was 89-115 Sixers…

For some reason I can only pot replies

Weird. I think Im gonna go and catch up on the game later. It’s not very engaging currently.
Conrad Kaczmarek - February 11, 2012
You could say that.
kptb - February 11, 2012

teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Semih Erden is so awful
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
Nice board by Boobie

Ben Uzoh!!!

Only 2:27 left in this debacle.

It’s the worst game I’ve seen this year
teamrobhogg - February 11, 2012
But hilariously emphatic Hollins slam!
