    Didnt you say he wasn’t hurt? Now seems a good time for you and others who talked shit to those of us who correctly said he was injured, to retract statement and maybe, if one had the balls say “whoops, sorry about that!”.

    Ideally, he sits out until he won't have to worry about this again. Even if it takes all year, as much as that's a bitter pill to swallow. But it's not like we aren't accustomed to dealing with players missing big chunks of the season.

    It'll help either players getting their grove on (Little, Simons, Powell) or improve their draft position.

    Hopefully some of the other players use this to improve their trade value before the deadline.

    It may be painful, but it is still the right choice. Do what they need to get him back to 100%.

    It was painfully (pun intended) obvious that he was hurt. He was having problems blowing by defenders like Dylan Windler and his jump shots were consistently coming up short.

    By the way, now that we know Dame has been hurt, what is CJ's excuse???

    Is it though? I have heard rumors of an abdominal injury to Dame since the Olympics.

    He had the same issue long before that...it was really bothering him when we went to 4 OTs against Denver....CJ stepped up in that series...Dame said he's had this for something like 4 years...I don't think it's new at all...he's said as much.

    Not as silly as those who wanted to trade him after 5 games, injury or not.

    Actually, those people look smarter now than a day ago ... for however much that is worth. His trade value has likely declined from where it was the first week of the season.

    You do realize the posters who wanted to trade him were the ones who thought he wasn't hurt and that something else caused his decline?
