2.5 poor injury stricten season and 40 million other reasons to be

If Tim Duncan and David Robinson can, i don't see why not

Mitchell, not really known for running good set offenses, will likely just let the guys play

No. not yet at least. they have to prove their worth, until then.

Yes, out of first round. Force a game 7 in the second round and lose.
