FIRE MISTY! LOL

The curse of the ludis sacci hernialis (Latin for sprots hernia) LOL!!!

Crap

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/ba...sports-hernia/

"Rondo is reportedly dealing with a sports hernia and will be seeing a specialist to determine the next step on Monday, Sean Kelley of ESPN radio reports. Rondo's timetable for a return likely depends on whether or not he decides to undergo surgery or try and play through it, so we'll have to wait until he visits a specialist to see what route he ends up taking. Either way, it's certainly concerning for his availability to start the season..."

Seriously, we are cursed.

Have the surgery tomorrow & Rondo would be back in Week 3 of season. 4-6 wk. recovery pending on Rondo's body. Assuming he's in great shape & follows recovery protocol, he could be back in week 3 of regular season. I say have surgery now.

More information will be available after Rondo visits specialists Monday, but sources say initial expectation is he'll miss around a month.

LOL

So jrue running pg?

so two starters out to start the season. it seems to be like this every year for the Pels :(

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So pathetic there's nothing else to do but laugh.

I don't believe in curses, but the Pelicans have had injuries ever since they changed the name to Pelicans

We have to win early for confidence.

I'm guessing you don't remember the Baron Davis injury years, the ending of both Mashburn and Peja's careers, Tyson foot and it's magical heal after leaving, CP3's long list of injuries, David West's back and blown out knee etc etc etc. Happened well before the Pels became a thing.

unless there is some reason why they wouldn't, I'm thinking the Pels need to make a move and go after a Ty Lawson now...from what I gather, he still possesses the skills to run the point for this team...

He signed a contract in China.

Frankly it’s not the starting unit I’m worried about so much as the backup. We have Finch who just got done running a league leading offense through a facilitating big man like Cousins and mostly combo guards. It’s the drop off from Jrue to everyone else that concerns me. Davis and Cousins can get you 50-60 a night, but we have to find a way to get 40-50 more. I’m getting flashbacks to the CP3/Chandler/West era where we just didn’t have a bench to speak of outside one or two players like Pargo and in part because we didn’t have someone that could facilitate when Paul was off the court. Until right near the end of the CP3 era that is.

Can we contact Rondo and let him know about water only fasting?

I got a feeling they are just being cautious and he won't require surgery

A month isn't so bad but yeah... we're cursed.

If it's exactly a month, that's about 11 or 12 games. So not a terrible long time. But still annoying as hell.

This injury is not so big a deal. The Hill injury is a bit meh since he should be back for the postseason. It's more the impending feeling of doom it cast over our PTSD riddled fan hearts. And Spaniard recounting all of my past traumas isn't helping!

You can say that about an injury by itself. But now there is the potential of being without 2 starters for an extended period of time. This team does not have a lot of depth, so the cumulative injuries are becoming an issue.

#Pelslife

Ian Clark, Jrue and Moore are going to have to deliver.
I think we can get the numbers we need for PPG to win.

AD: 28ppg
Cousins: 25ppg
Jrue: 17ppg
Cunningham: 7ppg
Moore: 13ppg
Crawford: 11ppg
Clark: 6ppg
Miller: 7ppg
Diallo: 4ppg
Ajinca: 3ppg
Tony Allen: 4ppg

I think we'll get about 105 ppg
I think we'll hold teams to 102ppg

We get off to a 3-7 start or something and in this West might well be done. Hard to fathom.

One "positive" of the Rondo injury is if he does end up having surgery then he would be our 4th injured player meaning after all 4 miss the 3 first games we would be able to sign a temporary player to take one of their places until one is able to return.

The injury itself is not what worries me. It's the rehab. I hope Rondo knows a few good men (or women) from his previous stops. Trust, but verify my friend.

I'm sure his rehab will be handled by the specialist he is going to see located in Philly.

Careful.... there was a time when mentioning Tyson Chandlers career ending degenerative toe was a bannable offense around here.

#Pelslife

Clark, Crawford, allen, Moore will have to step up. I think we go as a team as clark/diallo/crawford go.

Let's hope rondo is out 4 weeks only.

You must've had a different name back then.

Sure did!

I hardly posted back then either, except to argue with some guy that hated CP3 like nothing else.

Dropped in one day with a sarcastic comment on how well Chandler was playing and bam! Perma ban.

Twas a sad day.

Ah, those were the days.

I came very, very, very close to being banned myself back then.
