C’mon Mirza, gotta play through some sickness.
*See MJ in the finals.*
Although this is not the finals, and we are playing the Suns. So fine. Get better soon!

Ok, wow.
Wallace either broke his right arm (which doesn’t look likely) or cracked some ribs. Damn…

Disgusting 1st half defensively. We can’t lose to Jared Dudley…

The usually durable Humphries is being hit with a rash of injuries despite playing sparingly. It makes me wonder if a deal has been reached that cant be consummated until the 15th, and they’re avoiding any possible injury.
