No clue.

Hope this doesn't slow Davis development down too much. This offseason will be big for him.

Hopefully nothing serious. However, you do know that is the diagnosis usually given before an MRI is taken? Hopefully it is not bad enough to even need an MRI, although I am sure they will do it for precautionary measures. How many times do you hear a player in the lockerroom with a knee sprain only to get a more specific diagnosis later?

We defended- well we didnt really defend. Hell that sums up our defense pretty much. Ad had a block or two but we were **** poor for the most part. Got killed by the mismatches tonight.

Correction
gordon with 23-7

True, but getting sore muscles after working is also a tear. Microscopic tears.

It's like the difference between a hairline crack in a bone and a complete fracture. Both could technically be called broken.

They don't. When players get hurt, that is usually the initial diagnosis. It means it could be anywhere from nothing to significant damage. You usually don't know for sure until further tests are done.

Its a sprain he'll be 100% in a couple weeks. He'll be ready for the offseason as will Austin and Smith.

Can't wait to see these youngins develop.

He did awesome for the worst player in the league.

Davis, dont take any more charges, ur too skinny now.

What a disappointment defensively. This is the most points we've given up this year.

Unless the cautionary MRI shows something worse, and with our med staff, his knee could contain a zombie bite, it shouldn't be a problem. He'll be shelved for the rest of the season. Then he should relax at home, jog in a pool for a while. Then get to serious weight training for next season.

Looks like we finish no worse than 5th overall.

How many times do players get injured? Just chill out. It's not the end of world. If anything we can tank like you want. No reason to go all ape **** crybaby on the board because of a freak accident. If Thornton finishes or doesn't try for the crazy play he lands on his feet and all is good.

People called for minutes, and now they are upset he had minutes...

Big time runs happen in this league. The game was not completely out of reach...

Yeah, but injuries announced as a sprain have a not-insignificant chance of becoming a serious tear.

West Coast trip on the 2nd half of a back-to-back.

Anybody have any idea what is the remaining schedule for the pistons? if they can win 1 more game that would be great

it looks like Aminu will be gone, i see X coming back and compete with Miller for backup SF next year assuming we get a new one.

Is that a forshadowing?

you think maybe one time an ex hornet won't torch us? maybe when we become the pelicans they'll leave their grudges with the old team...

That would've read "He's a bruiser"

Man Denver is such an exciting team to watch. They just went off on the spurs

Not a valid excuse. We had a back to back west coast trip earlier in the year and wasn't anywhere near as a bad defensively.
