This is nothing for the Rooster to crow about. Just as he had gotten back into his stride, Danilo Gallinari has suffered a freak injury, smacking and fracturing his thumb on the backboard after an attempted block. And the doctors are talking four weeks. All Stiffs are invited to help illuminate the path before us.

The Denver Post's Benjamin Hochman talked to the Gallo here http://blogs.denverpost.com/nuggets/2012/03/20/nuggets-danilo-gallinari-talks-fractured-thumb/6181/.

So, do we plug in Chandler in Gallo's place and leave the rest of the rotation alone? How do we intergrate Mcgee now without creating confusion? How long will Dre's shoulder keep him out? Should we say to hell with it and just tank with an eye on the draft? Or try to inspire the thinned ranks to another one-and-done playoff debacle? Tough situation.
