I'm no doc... but I understand there is a test the trainers can do to immediately determine if there is a full tear in the knee

hopefully since they called it a sprain... they did that test and they found the kneecap wasn't floating around in there

They do a series of stretches and pulls on the leg/knee, and depending on how loose certain pulls are can tell them if there is a tear or not. They stretched it out, it wasn't loose, so the diagnosis is no tear, just a sprain (which is a minor tear, but no long term effects, no surgery). That said, they will almost certainly do an MRI to confirm the results, but you can almost always tell if the ACL is torn by the field test.

This is great news. It looked real bad for a second the way MT landed on Davis' knee and pinned it to the ground.

We have a lot of players who don't fit the athletic mold to run our defense while the ones we do have keep making mental mistakes.

e: Basically the same it has been all year.

We have like 3 offensive weapons: Anderson, Gordon, and Davis (who's still developing). Anderson = bench points. When he sucks, we generally lose

I don't know about you but I'm talking about defense. Considering that we scored 110 on 48% shooting, offense wasn't the problem.

Its been a LOOOONG time since the team with the most ping pong balls won the lottery. You're gonna get the pick you get it doesn't matter where you finish. There's no "AD" in the draft anyway so picking between 3 and 7 won't be such a bad thing. Whoever gets drafted #1 won't be worthy.

And it often isn't, despite the complaining in these threads.

I know that and i came up with my own theory, the 1st overall rarely wins, and last year the 4th won it, this year im thinking the 2nd 3rd or 5th wins it, which is why i was asking

My bad.

Lol, i'm on the back end of a back-to-back long day (literally)...

But still, our defense was horrendous tonight; but the way they played last night, I could see why they could be exhausted. Anyway, can't do anything about it now. More minutes for Miller would be nice

Id like to blame Monty for that. Hes had a good three game stretch after the assssss blasting he got from Monty.

I can dig it.

If you had the #1 pick... and there were no trade partners... who would you take? Posing the question to everybody. We could use just about everything but wh do you take?

I was disapointed Miller didnt get more minutes but he didnt really earn them tonight. He needs to be more productive offensively, or at least get some shots off.
