Losing Coleman is about the biggest non-event that losing a starter could ever be.
Let's face it, we lost Coleman as a regular contributor about 8 games ago. If Coleman got even 5 minutes in a game recently it was a minor miracle. With the loss of Coleman, we have to now divvy up about 3 minutes of playing time. I think that can be done without causing too much stress on the rest of the team.
It's not an ideal situation, but it barely even registers on the radar for this team. We had an all hands on deck game on Saturday, and he only got on the floor when he absolutely had to.
I think losing AO and Melo have altered our perspective on losing guys. Not every loss is the same. Melo and AO were season altering. Losing JS changed the team, but didn't significantly impact the team's ceiling.
Losing Coleman doesn't even belong in the same paragraph as the other 3.
If we get James back, most of us will forget that Coleman was ever injured.
