Gentry: "...we're not having (Lopez) for the playoffs, not for the first series, anyway"

Coro just posted this not too long ago. Hopefully we'll be able to get him back once we get to the 2nd round.

Robin's been a huge part of this team in the 2nd half of the season. After seeing Collins play like he actually cares last night, I'm more hopeful about advancing than I was a few days ago.

It'll be up to Collins, Frye and maybe even Dwayne Jones to pick up the slack.

I hope he can at least play in one game on the first round

I think is likely that the Suns will win it in 5 and that we face a tired team on the second round since the Dallas Spurs series should be a long and though series. That been said we need Lopez for that second round and having him play a game before the second series would be great to get him on the court and ready for that though second series.
I might be getting ahead of myself but now I think we can go to the Finals is Lopez is healthy. GO SUNS!!!
