    Perhaps we shouldn't get too comfortable just yet? We've been down this road before.

    Sucks. When he was in the game, everything came easy.

    He needs to train on a higher gravity planet during the offseason. That will strengthen his bones and increase his muscle mass.

    Not really concerned. He will sit out the rest of the series and be fine next year.

    We should have had contingency plans but we fucking blew it.

    He's a couple weeks from being fully healed If the timeline is correct.

    The rest of the team let him down starting in the mid 4th Q. Turner, Harkless, Crabbe under achieved.

    Fucking idiots.

    Fuck the team
    Fuck the doctors
    Fuck the fans trusting the team and doctors
    Fuck me not having enough money to own the team, so I could start having input on what goes on there.

    • Harkless is the player I want gone along with Meyers and Crabbe. Hell I'd even take Turner over Harkless. Everyone is on Harkless jock just because the dude is 23 years old.

    Festus and big Ed were the contingency plans...we didn't blow it...injuries gutted the bigs on the roster ...all of them but Vonleh...even Meyers is hurt and now Nurk. Shit happens and this was as good a year as any to weather a season....we weren't winning a ring anyway...it was a season of tryouts for next season and we do have 3 first round picks

    Just means he isn't healthy at the moment, this doesn't add a long term concern for me.

    Biggest disappointment is that guys who I want to trade away didn't really improve their value much...probably have to trade them for peanuts about now

    Clippers losing Griffin for the rest of the playoffs was huge....that team is going to get blown up quickly...half a decade without success

    You owning the team would make my life amazing. I would save something like 300 hours a year not watching, caring about, or following your team.

    He needs to let his leg heal during the offseason.

    Yeah, he'll be fine by the time the season starts back up again. And now he's had a taste of the playoffs, a game that slipped away because he couldn't play. That's some potent motivation.
