Oh fuck.

Ricky Grace available?

Not really. JJ couldn't handle a basketball when someone was playing defense on him.

This is terrible news. Drake UU??

If Martin gets any more plates inserted we can start calling him RoboDamo.

"This is terrible news. Drake UU??"

Correct. Getting Drake back would be terrible news.

Ouch, that's going to be hard to cover. Thank god don't have any double headers over the next few weeks.

Two weeks really means one for Damo.

Steve Markovic, Rhys Carter?

There's a list of free agents that haven't been signed as of yet on pickandroll.com.au.

No idea who on the list would be able to fill PG though.

New plan:

Casey Prather to play the "points guard" role that James Harden will this season.

Monkey Magic Narrator Voice:

"The nature of Damo was irresponsible!"

I was thinking Rhys Carter. He's payed with the Wildcats before

Pretty sure he's overseas again.

Brad Robbins

Is Tre Nichols of Bunbury slammers naturalised?

Wow, if this squad makes the finals without any PGs for any significant period, they deserve the record for consecutive finals appearances.

Issues are starting to stack up now for a squad that is lucky to have as many wins as they have.

I like Wagner as a replacement

Should sign Sami Whitcomb, she is naturalised now and the Lynx are under the same organisation. #synergies.

Wagner is useless! Why don't we just stick with wroe for 10-15 minutes a night and use Ingram as well? At least he knows the system already.

Big Corbs will have to step up. He did alright filling in last season

Wroe did ok backing up Kenny. Glad he's still around, and happy to see him get some minutes, but even if he can step up and hold down the starter role, we're still short of backup.

How rigid are the injury replacement rules? Specifically, can you chop and change?
We could bring Walker back on as another body, but that's not going to help the PG situation.

Anyone know who our TPs are at the moment?

If Damo is only out for a short time, we can probably get through this.
Perhaps in the short-term we rotate Prather to the 2, and use Redhage & Hire at the 3.

Anyone know if his wife has given birth yet?

Whilst Ingram may be seen as a one-trick pony, the irony is that we are now better off with him, than JJ. JJ was a better all-round player no question, but from the little I've seen Ingram is a better ball-handler.

Dolla would be a nice combo guard to have right now to run the point in a circumstance like this lol

"Anyone know if his wife has given birth yet?"

Yep she gave birth to a boy on Sunday morning I believe.

Happy with Wroe to start at PG, but he has been prone to fouling in the past so if he gets hurt or into foul trouble.....then what.

Prather looks comfortable bringing the ball, wouldn't be surprised to some minutes for him running point.

Dazz, you should probably read up more on what NBA players get up to off the court.

To lose 2 of youre best 4 defensive players and the starting backcourt in one hit is a huge blow. I see the Cats struggling from here till they at the very least get Damo back. As for Kenny the guy is one of the most underrated players in the league.

Kenny most underrated player in the league? LOL

Totally agree on Kenny being underrated. How he was overlooked by Breakers is a mystery.

Witches hats would be better than wroe. Wroe
Really? He got towelled up all season in SBL he's a liability in the NBL.
Enjoy Perff fans.

Dazz, do you think it's even theoretically possible for anything the Wildcats do to not be the best possible move?

I mean, this wouldn't even have to clear that bar - a good DP is not a good starter - but your inability to comprehend the possibility of the Wildcats not doing everything absolutely perfectly is ridiculous.

If Kenny is going to be out for more than a month, they'll have to source SOMEBODY as a replacement.
All Wroe needs to do is hold up his end for a couple of weeks whilst Damo is out.

Maybe its time we looked for our "Asian" player.???

Imagine how much worse their plight would be if they had lost those close games to start the season.

Just give the ball to prather as they did back when Rashad Tucker ran the point with grace out injured.

Speaking of Tucker has anyone managed a triple double since the 40 minute game?

Does Steve Holt qualify as an Asian? Is he available?

What's Steven Holt doing ?

Playing for Zaragoza in Spain.

Just give the ball to prather as they did back when Rashad Tucker ran the point with grace out injured.

Speaking of Tucker has anyone managed a triple double since the 40 minute game?

Holt is playing in Spain.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the Wildcats sign a point guard like Hugh Greenwood...

I think when Markovic went out last season we got to see a young fella called Indiana Faithful, from what I remember he impressed me.... is he available?

Anyone know what Earnest Ross is up to?
Supposedly he was in good touch for Ballarat in the SEABL this year?

Earnest Ross? Seriously?

Lol.

Rumour has it Homicide Williams has put his hand up.

This just illustrates what a tough SOB Damo really is. After that screen by Majok in the 3rd he still played on for majority of the 3rd and the 4th with the injury.Not only that he finished with 13 freaking rebounds and 7 assists and out played Jackson yet again.

I liked Ross, and thought he was unlucky to rupture his Achilles before really getting a shot.
I don't watch the SEABL, but obviously its the best of the lower tier comps, and I HEARD he played really well this year, playing more of a combo guard role.
It's a question of who'se available to fill it, at short notice, especially considering we need 2.
What are our options?
Luke Martin, and somebody from the SBL?

Luke Martin is busy throwing rocks at the Lindt cafe. He was terrible last time we had him anyway. We would have to go for carter but I like Jackson Hussey as well

From The West Australian;

"Ace import Casey Prather played as a point-guard during the pre-season and is being considered for a change, while Andre Ingram and Corban Wroe could also fill the role.

State league pair Jackson Hussey and Joel Wagner trained with the team yesterday and Gleeson said he was assessing other options.

"We looked at the State league first, but now we'll cast our net Australia-wide to find out who is out there and are they in shape and are they ready to go," he said.

Andre Ingram now gone!

Martin & Kenny will be replaced by Wroe & Hussey and Play on Friday. JJ may be re-activated to replace Ingram.

..Until they sign a proper import combo guard.

Good to see a local get an opportunity.

For a DP I thought Wroe looked ok last year. Haven't seen much so far this year.
From the little I have seen, he looked like he might develop in a Brad Robbins type bench player. Not sure I'd be too comfortable with him shouldering too much of the PG responsibilities.

Hopefully Hussey adds another option.

Still wondering who'll they'll chase as the other injury replacement, plus now of course another import.
