    What if this team rallied and made the playoffs, how crazy of a story would that be.

    Yes but we are only 4 wins ahead of the 2nd to last team. no one is catching that train wreck in Milwaukee.

    I blame him more for this than ever. Monty inexplicably continued to play Brian Roberts, who let Pressey take the ball from him like a middle schooler and Ryno gets injured on the inbounds play after the layup.

    I can hate a fan base if I want to. They have very little class, and Saturday only made me realize it.

    Of course you can. You can hate anyone for whatever reason. I wont stop you. Just saying, humans arent much different from each other, no matter how much we like to believe we are.

    I've never booed or cheered an injury. I can guarantee that. Plus Minnesota's misfortune didn't really give us anything of value as they played so well for the first 3/4ths of the season.

    But if you could go back in time and had the choice of a Love or Rubio injury, resulting in the Pelicans getting a pick in the 6-9 range (Lillard, Barnes, Drummond) instead of Rivers, you wouldn't do it?

    If that is true, you are a better man than most.

    I got a herniated disk in my back this summer. Sucks. With rehab, I was able to run again in about a month, but surgery really isn't avoidable if you want to be a pro athlete. He could get rehab and play in February or March through the rest of the year, but whats the point?

    Do the surgery and hope it sticks. My doctor told me only about 70% of first time surgeries are successful. Manning had to have multiple surgeries. Get in there, get it done. Hope it sticks, and if not, get the second surgery done this summer as opposed to October.

    What a tough year for this guy. He's been through Hell and back, and he didn't deserve any of it. I'm not saying Wallace whacked Ryno on purpose, but damnit man you can't be that reckless.

    Glass half full/half empty view on Ryno's injury

    Half empty:
    • We lost our leading scorer - 20ppg gone
    • We lost our best 3pt threat - Morrow is really the only 3pt 'specialist' now
    • We lost another big - With Smith out, we literally have no backup PFs on the team. I'd expect Amudson to be resigned or to see AFA play some PF


    Half full (if you can even consider these positives):
    • More shots for Davis, Holiday, Evans, and Gordon
    • If there was any chance of Ryno being traded, that just decreased to 0%
    • We get to see how the players/coaches deal with adversity - Think if this team were contending this year, let's see how we respond when a key player goes down.


    That's it. Back to being depressed now.

    Next time we play him someone needs to take out a knee.....there my bad thought of the day.

    This does seem rather unfortunate. Wish him a good recovery. But some possible good news is...#AjincaUnleashed

    I hate seeing people injured like that. I understand the hustle your *** of mentality, but you don't apply it to the detriment of someone's safety. He's not the first player to foolishly harm someone and he wont be the last.

    Ajinca is now going to get a great opportunity to develop and prove his worth. Maybe he can turn into a really solid asset. We have him signed into next year. Elite 4th big, here we come.

    Wow. First Tyreke steps on someone's foot and wrecks the same ankle twice within weeks, now this worst case.

    I hope this team responds and guys like Morrow step up. I'm also holding out hope this disc problem is as minor as possible.

    Glass half full take: AD and to a lesser extent Jrue get to extert their personality on this team. I hurt for Ryno and I don't want to see anyone injured especially someone like Ryno, a total stand up guy and class act, but this is a superstar driven league. Our two most likely candidates for that status and catalysts for future success are those two guys. I don't mean to sound harsh in the wake of a great guy's injury, but there was always something out of whack about Ryno being our most important player. Now there are a variety of factors for that: age, experience, Ryno's elite shooting, etc., but the fact remains that in order for us to ascend AD has to assume his place as the alpha dog. Injuries have played a part in this process throughout sports history but I'll give you two recent and relevent examples. Danny Granger and Alex Smith. Both of those guys were the most important players on good teams, their replacements are critical pieces and catalysts for potentially great teams. The difference for us is Ryno can return and seemlessly add his game to whatever has become of our team in his absence. We should take solace in that. I find it very congruent that AD has very recently played his 82nd NBA game. His true rookie season just finished a few weeks ago, his 2nd season begins with some adversity. I think we will emerge from this the better.

    For instance, if healthy we could have looked at the Pacers and Heat games this week as true barometer games regardless of result. But now if we're blown out by both like we should now, what can we really determine??
    meaning monty likely gets a pass for this season

    i know we go on and on about gordon and his injuries and say guys are injury prone and it is a skill to be healthy...but a lot of times it is just a matter of luck..that is really it..and this franchise has only bad luck it seems
