    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Josh Boone tweaked his right knee in the second quarter of last night's 99-90 victory over Toronto, but returned to the game. His absence was providential: Stromile Swift played 27 minutes, and had one of his best games (10 points, six boards), especially as the fourth-quarter center. "It's just a little sprained MCL, nothing too major," said Boone, who played only 11 minutes. "We've got three days off, we'll rehab the next three days and hopefully I'll be ready."</div>

    Holy shit. This better not lead to another off-season with surgery. [​IMG]

    Screw this. Let's trade him and Krstic for someone who isn't as weak as my 6 year old cousin. Pathetic.

    Overreact much? He's been durable all year and realistically it's a minor injury he'll miss maybe 1-2 games...nothing major.

    **edit**
    He'll be able to play but given our playoff hopes being slim if the Hawks beat The Pacers tuesday I could see us resting Boone for a few games just to insure he doesn't further injure humself.

    He better not get ANOTHER offseason surgery. He needs to get his goofy ass into the weight room and get big b/c right now he is way too weak to be a legit starting Center in the NBA.

    Also, Swift should get more minutes he's the only one who brings excitement to the game.

    Tough break. Hopefully no surgery this offseason is needed... they should just shut down VC and rj and Devin to complete tank mode and let the youngesters play... we can find excuses for our stars not to play jiust like the miami heat . They want beasly badd.

    If Boone does need another off-season surgery, I wouldn't mind drafting a big with the lottery pick.

    You can't end a great season without a good 'ole injury.

    If it's really just a mild MCL sprain then he just needs a little rest and he'll be fine...
    Jesus.
    People need to calm down...worse case scenario is that he sits for the rest of the season...AT WORST.

    Not really considering we could feasible lose the rest of our games and end up falling behind Chicago and Charlotte for the 8th worst record and therefore have a better chance at top end talent.

    They could easily win 4 of 5.

    Chicago has a tougher schedule with Miami, Milwaukke, Orlando (twice), Cleveland and Toronto...still I could see them winning 4/6.

    What if he can't recover his confidence of that knee and turns into a Krstic? [/sensationalism] [/devil's advocate]

    He's way to used to coming off an injury for that to happen.
