WE host the Nets who are 16-25. We are favored as we are riding a 7 game win streak...
Before the game, the Bucks GM calls us. He offers us Rookie SG Gene Hall (78 rating), C Larry Sanders (80) for Embiid and Grant. I turn him down.

Ellis led us with 37 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He shot 13 of 20, 3 of 6 from the arc, and 8 of 8 from the line. However, he suffered a hyper extended shoulder during the game.

The Nets played without an injured Garnett. They wre led by 16 points from Jordan Crawford. Javale McGee added 15 points and 10 boards.
Deron Williams shot 2 of 12 and had only 3 assists.
Joe Johnson had 14 points on 5 of 13 shooting.
After the game, our trainer says this shoulder could become severe if we play Ellis although he can play through it. He gives it a go at practice the next day and he just can't shoot. We are going to be resting him for at least a few weeks, maybe a few months..
Rookie Darin Stockton might get a few minutes in games now...
Theus will start at SG.
Our next game is hosting the Raptors on the 22nd. They are 21-21 and we are favored to win. We beat them 109-85 in our last game on their court.
