So if Mihm is as hurt as he looks to be, it looks as if Turiaf will get more PT to prove himself since Kwame will have to move back over to starting center. I get the feeling this might be a blessing in disguise. I've really liked the way Turiaf has been concentrating when he finally get's a chance to pull the splinters out of his arse. It also means Bynum will get a bit more PT.

Mihm was having such a great game so it's sad to see him get hurt that way. WTF is up Phils rotations. Today was weird by even his strange rotation standards. Mihm sits for the majority of the second half when he's having a career night? JJ just gets to sit there and look bored when his poise would have been an asset on a number of occasions. And Turiaf get's in and does nothing but play extrememly well, yet he can't see the light of day for the remainder of the afternoon? Bazaar....

This loss is par for the course this season. Nothing new or surprising really. They are likely to get some help from Dallas this evening when they play Sacramento, so not as disasterous of a loss as it could have been.

Turiaf should get some minutes, because Kwame will have to move to starting center.

Kwame will start at Cand play 40min a game, so we can play ronny, cook or drew as backups to the C

Odom will also have to play more minutes at PF now....

We need George to come back bc he can also play PF minutes...

I was surprised Phil didn't play Turiaf in the second half. He was abusing Petro in the paint.

It seemed like Kwame is good only in games where he has a good post scorer to guard. He automatically gets into those games because he knows he has something to do. If that's the case, then I'd just save him for those games.

Since Kwame will be needed to play center, Cook will start at PF. Ronny will get minutes at PF backing him up.

BYNUM and Turiaf definatley should be getting more PT. but I would be surprised if Phil Jackson says (bleep) it and just plays Luke Walton and Lamar Odom in a PF/SF tandom most of the games.

Odom had 21 points tonight on very few attempts.
