    Hello darkness, my old friend
    That "same player" comment doesn't mean he'll be frozen in time at the moment before he got hurt. It means there's a 75% chance that this injury won't limit him once it's healed. Any upside potential he had before would still remain, if that doctor is correct.

    I heard pretty much the same thing about a recovery time.
    If that's true then I'm expecting him to be able to compete right about the start of next season.

    I never thought of this.
    Yeah, Curry makes an excellent scapegoat.

    It's easy to look for a scapegoat. If nothing else, I think the idea of allowing players to hook a guy underneath the basket and not allowing room for landing should warrant at least a conversation by the league. The truth of the matter is 3 players fouled out trying to guard Nurk Monday. They were doubling him down low (sandwiching him essentially) because he was abusing them on the boards. There's nothing in the rules against doing this but it does set up for incidental contact.

    Charles Barkley is the scapegoat!

    Good news is Nurk is only 24 years old and under contract for 3 more seasons ...this guy is what we wish we could've had in a young Sabonis ...he's a stud that is worth being patient with...man his numbers in the last game were those of a superstar...he'll be back and when he is our younger guys will be even better suited for a championship run than they are even this season

    Curry is no different than every other player who missed a shot...at one pt we had bricked 7 free throws ...for some reason we've been slipping at converting free throws recently.

    Nope, Curry is different. He is my convenient scapegoat.
    But if it would make you feel better, someone suggested blaming Charles Barkley and I'm okay with that, just as long as it isn't me. Blaming the water boy? Okay. Hey, let's blame Sly, now that would be fun.

    Anyone else think it’s a bit odd(or lame) that Terry didn’t stop by the hospital to see Nurk? Especially since Dame/CJ did. I mean I understand it’s probably 10 min from the arena but wtf.
