    ESPN is reporting Amare might be out for the season due to an eye injury he had surgery on today! Wow!

    That's too bad. 8 weeks may be a minimum. I remember when Sugar Ray Leonard had a detached retina; it needs to completey be fixed or one shot to the eye could cause permanent damage.

    Damn someone beat me to it. That sucks for Phoenix as they were looking to turn it back up.

    Re: Amar'e with detached retina out 8 weeks

    I do think this will really hurt Phx's chances to make the playoffs. I'm guessing a lot of teams wanting Amare for a playoff push are probably glad they didn't trade for him now.

    Dayammmm!

    What the fuck is it with teams and injuries this year? This seems like one of the worst years I can remember for big names going down (T-Mac, Bynum, Garnett, Boozer, etc.)

    I hope Terry Porter is having a good chuckle right now.

    Re: Amar'e with detached retina out 8 weeks

    Yeah, this definitely puts a damper on the Sun's playoff chances. I guess we'll see if Shaq can step it up. But for all those people saying we won't make the playoffs because of not making a trade, I think our chances are pretttty damn good now with Amare being out 2 months, and the rest of the West getting bit by the injury bug.

    Re: Amar'e with detached retina out 8 weeks

    There were nine teams (IMO) with a shot at making the playoffs in the West. Now there are eight. Welcome to the playoffs, Portland.

    Chances are if he would have been traded he wouldn't have been playing in that game to get injured.

    Re: Amar'e with detached retina out 8 weeks

    A partially detached retina AND a partially torn iris in the same eye within months? Sounds brutal... I feel sorry Amare. That doesn't sound like a fun thing to go through.

    Re: Amar'e with detached retina out 8 weeks

    We still may not make it. We've not looked good at all over the last 7 games. I'm actually scared to watch this game tonight, because we did not beat the Thunder, Knicks or Grizzlies very convincingly at home. (and they were all coming off back to backs I believe)
