Link HereEL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- When looking ahead to Tuesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said that the Spurs have a much deeper team than the Lakers.

The bench disparity could be even bleaker for the Lakers after Steve Blake did not make it to shootaround on Tuesday because of an illness.
The team announced later Tuesday afternoon that Blake has chicken pox and would not play Tuesday; beyond that, he is out indefinitely.
Also, Matt Barnes has been added to the injury list with a sore right knee and a decision about his playing status would be made before the game.
Blake did not practice on Monday because of a fever. The back-up point guard is averaging four points and 2.2 assists in 20 minutes per game this season. Blake scored nine points and made all three of his 3-point attempts in his last game Sunday against Oklahoma City.

I'm gonna ing laugh my ass off when he comes back in the playoffs with all those scars. But apparently, the chicken pox are much more dangerous in adulthood as opposed to when you're a child. So get well.
His parents ed up...he shoulda got the pox long ago.
"The back-up point guard is averaging four points and 2.2 assists in 20 minutes per game this season."
us.
Wtf... I had that when I was like 2-3... How do adults get this?
Fish is averaging 6 and 2. That makes Blake a pretty solid backup, tbh. tee, hee.
I still haven't gotten chicken pox and I'm already 20, I'm sure I'll get it one day though...
Even more of a problem is that people who get chicken pox as an adult have a much higher incidence of shingles later in life. They are extremely painful.
I'm going toif the playoffs roll around and half of the Lakeshow team has chicken pox... that is contagious through the air...
Overprotective parents who didn't allow them to get it as a child. He probably has a kid himself that got it from school and passed it along to him.
You'd still find a way to it up.
True, but you only get it once, and most people get that out of the way when they are toddlers.
There goes El's good mood. Back on the rag.
You're too tense Culby... you should ask katiegirl to prepare you a warm bath with milk and honey
Bend over. I'll give ya some f'in milk, honey.
getting Chickenpox as an adult is some serious ...
Glad I got it in the 3rd grade.
Chickenpox complications are more likely to occur in adults than in children. Despite the fact that adults account for only 5 percent of chickenpox cases per year, they account for a disproportionate number of deaths (55 percent) and hospitalizations (33 percent) compared to children.
Most complications of adult chickenpox are caused by an infection from bacteria. These bacteria can cause chickenpox complications that include:
•Skin or soft tissue infections
•Pneumonia (usually more severe in adults, as well as children over 13 years old)
•Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
•Joint infections (septic arthritis)
•Toxic shock syndrome.
Other serious adult chickenpox complications directly related to the chickenpox virus can include:
•Infection of the brain (encephalitis)
•Bleeding problems
•Cerebellar ataxia.
I thought you couldn't get it up with adults anymore...
I'm gonna try extra hard for you. Less talk, more bendin'. Chop, chop.
If you haven't got the C-pox by now then go get a varicella vaccination...think it costs over $100 iirc...I used to administers those at work.
No way, if Luke hasn't had the chicken pox yet then it's pretty much guaranteed he'll transfer it to if he hasn't had it yet either (They meet up every time LA comes to town no joke), then would contaminate the entire Spurs team.
