@rphenomenal_1: "He can easily come back the Saturday after Thanksgiving, needs time to heal the wrist and rest his knees and ankles. They play Nuggets, Heat, Hawks and Knicks. A 2-2 record while he’s out is very possible. But even a 1-3 is not that bad. They have time to figure things out"

@fernyy_y: "blessing in disguise. let him heal from that, his groin, and his knee. we go 5-1 without him and a 100% healthy luka comes back against the grizzlies."
