    Pritchard can't prevent Euro players from playing for their national teams. Just like the NBA can't prevent players from playing for Team USA. It would be nice to have a boogieman to blame Batum's injury on but we don't have one.

    Shit happens.

    from his blog. it is not KP's staff, it is clearly a young kid not wanting to be the "wuss" and admit something is wrong.

    Just to clarify my own opinion on Pritchard. My only criticisms of Pritchard are that it appears he might: over value players, have trouble closing trades (possibly because people don't like him or his own over valuation of assets), and he might have assembled too much talent if there is such a thing (Batum would seem to render this false, but there is still a log jam). Now these are all up for debate and aren't HARSH criticisms, but I think reasonable ones.

    I think Pritchard was masterful in his drafting and rebuilding of this team. His eye for talent is great although it sucks he passed on Millsap and Dejuan Blair. He can't nab ALL the talent in drafts so you can't fault him there. I hope he is able to pull off any final trades that are necessary. Overall I give Pritchard an A to A-. If the Outlaw for Harris or Conley trades were passed on I might have to down grade him.

    Now dissing Nate that's totally different. I have a serious bone to pick with him, but alas Roy loves him.

    You guys are ridiculous to the point of embarassment. How can you even entertain the notion that the medical staff isn't damn good at their job? You think they're just picking people off the street and seeing if they know how to tape an ankle? I mean, what the fuck do you know, right?

    And you're even more ridiculous, which I didn't even know was possible until reading your post. Do you honestly think the team would let one of their multi-million dollar investments and key part of the roster continue to play on a fucking tear? And does anyone really think they'd want Batum to have surgery if it wasn't necessary? Give these people just the tiniest amount of credit. Maybe they know how to do their jobs. And maybe injuries just happen sometimes. Maybe try to deal with this reality of sports in some way other than throwing the front office, coaching staff, and medical staff under the bus. It's like if anything unfortunate happens then everyone must be totally incompetent.

    Nic re-injured the shoulder in practice a couple days ago. That's when he realized he couldn't play through the pain. I don't think you can blame the team's medical staff.

    You're not only the best reporter, but you also can coach better and take care of the players better than anybody else.
