    You always need 3 centers. But any discussion about a player being soft, injury-prone, or made of glass because he broke his nose after being hit like he was....... is a little over the top.

    are sarcasm & wisecracks really discussion? If so, I have some ammunition the next time my wife says I don't talk to her enough

    My initial draft included "stupid fucking idiotic comments" but I am trying to be more "Zen" on the message boards. It is not easy......

    It's the era of the mask! Roco just had his nose reconstructed...they rebroke it..he said before they did that he had trouble breathing all last season...now he can breathe...at least Cody will get it done right away and not just have it reset temporarily. Boxers go through this all the time

    I like my nose ok except I didn't notice until recently that it is not centered properly at all (broken twice and never set). Which probably explains why I don't have any biological children; I have read that women pick symmetry in a mate. :) (of course @theHCP will probably think there are other reasons so I will add this to reduce the effects of any BAM)

    I have never since enjoyed watching a team so much as the Kamikazi Kids.

    Is this guy actually going to miss the first 3-4 weeks of the season? If so, major bummer.

    I don't know if it will be that long, but the regular season starts in just 12 days. If the nose was "crushed" like the reports said, his recovery time could be toward the end of normal. And the normal seems to be 2-6 weeks. I think cartilage heals faster than bone, but if he had several fractures to the cartilage, they should probably be cautious

    I've had nasal surgery and I know that if a month after surgery I got bumped on the nose I would have nearly fainted, cried like a baby, and reached for the Vodka

    I know it was an accident and I know Iggy didn't mean to hurt him, but I find it hard to believe he did not see him standing there.

    Nah, we looked at it from all our angles and he definitely didn’t try to hurt him.

    I'm sure he saw him standing there, but he was standing right where Iguodala was going to land after a dunk. I'm actually surprised Zeller didn't move at all.

    Oh great. Next you’ll be telling us that his heart went boom. Blazers can’t catch a break on centers.

    don't be negative. Blazers can get by with a little help from their friends
