Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Cards, Health to cause more shuffling

With the Red Card for Jaqua, the Yellow accumalations for Hurtado, the three players on IR (Eylander, Graham, Smith) and lingering injuries to Scott, Alonso, and Vagenas the Sounders may not even have a full 18 healthy and fit.

Seriously. They've only signed one player due to the space opened by the IR - Dragovan. Is it time to add one or two more for the short term? Or just go short during an 8 day stretch with 3 league matches?

League commenters say that depth is the biggest issue for an expansion side, and while the depth has been tested so far the Sounders aren't getting a point a match during this stretch.

I don’t think it will be too big of a problem. Jaqua and Hurtado are only out for one game. They will be rested for the mid-week contest. Also, Marshall had a nice rest this past weekend. My point is that we have already had so many games with multiple subs, that I think we can get through this little stretch with no fatigue. If it were later in the year or on the road in sweltering heat, then maybe a different story.
