Rebounding

is the major concern here. We're not losing all that much on offense w/o Fab, but his D is something we just can't replace no matter how deep we are.

Hopefully this gets resolved, but in the event it doesn't-- the fact that Keita makes Hot Hands Hanon look like Jerry Rice makes me real nervous. And yes I just made a Little Giants reference.

Disagree, we lose quite a bit wo Melo on O. He has been good for 2 to 3 dunks per game, plus he keep's D's honest inside which opens up things on the perimeter.

While better than Keita, his 7 or 8 points aren't going to make or break us. His presence on D will. His back to the basket game is an adventure at this point, he doesn't keep any D's honest. All that said, he's the one guy we can't afford to lose.
