    Light your candles.
    We need him for the 5 game stretch starting with OKC. Sit him against Memphis but if it's more than that it's so unfair to this team

    Definitely looked like serious. Hope he has the magic potion for this under his 1M a year spent in body stuff

    Hopefully everyone steps up so we can use him in limited minutes as a decoy. Sit against MEM? Sure, I'm all for that. Need some of this:

    Stupid of him to concede that three with so much time left. Luckily Dennis saved him and killed clock and made Fts.

    I'm very concerned that he won't be able to physically last the rest of the season. The man is old on a bad foot that isn't getting better. Loved his work in the post in the 4th quarter. He needs to do that when he's struggling out there.

    Sit him against Memphis. I know he said he wants to play the rest of the games, but it's about the sum of games and not one game. If it's a scheduled loss, that'd be the one to sit. And hopefully that's enough.

    Seems we have said that here at least two times maybe more for similar situation games and then have gone out and almost won or actually won against top tier teams when missing one of LeBron or AD plus a couple other key players, or when both of them have been out. If he can put up with the discomfort I hope he plays. We don’t have the luxury to concede any games without first giving our best shot with our best players that can go …. even if not 100%.

    But I thought he's got no skills and doesn't play thru injuries

    We'll see how that develops. I'm sure it hurts.

    " I heard a pop", sounded like a catastrophe.. then he went out and finished the game. The guy has remarkable healing powers.

    Could you imagine if this guy had a polished post game with his size, strength, agility and passing?!? His rudimentary post moves today were so effective.

    he developed the Hakeem turn around fade away in 2020 and 2021. I don’t know where it went.
