Yeah, I'd say a very light sprain. He'll probably be fine in 2-3 days imo.

The whole team becomes THAT bad when he becomes the pg lol

It was weird, but everyone is right. The team was rolling and then roberts comes in, dribbles too much, doesn't pass, and everything goes out of whack.

It was really evident this game due to how we were dominating.

lol conley

Wowww!!!! Gay didn't get it off in time did he?

Edit: Heck no he didn't get that off in time.

What bothers me is monty rewards ppl who play well with minutes... Rivers has been playing well at PG and monty puts him behind Roberts in the pecking order. I dont get it.

Vasquez had a very nice bounce-back game ;)

Haha just playing. It's funny how much the team defense suffers when Davis isn't on the court. It's just an intangible difference when you watch the game. Ryan Anderson with 7 treys? Me likey :evilgrin:

Wow Rudy gay gets it with 1.4 left and dribbles the ball around actin like he has 3+ sec or sumn smh....lets the clock run out and then shoots it...to make it worse he makes it and the arena erupts like it wasnt late :hihi:

team built like 11 point lead, bench and roberts came in barely held the lead. starters got it up to 25 at half. got it up to 27 in third. roberts and bench came in 17-0 run. vasquez came in for roberts got lead back up to double digits then it was a battle

Come on, you know the Hornets will keep him out for at least 6 weeks

On a side note, I really don't like the MLK memorial in Washington. Dude looks like he's about to whoop someone's *** instead of peacfully gain civil liberties for all.

Malcolm X would stand up looking like that. Not MLK.

Hey guys watch the cuse cincy game starting now on espn....Michael carter williams the pg for cuse....I really wanna draft this kid

Does anyone else think Gordon looks slimmer today than he has in the past? Hopefully getting that body fat back down to where it was when he played for the Clippers.

Definetly looks slimmer. But he runs and moves around like he's playing heavy still. That's just his gait though.

I truly think he puts fear in teams trying to go the rim. He had 3 blks before he went down. He affects teams going into the paint. Which makes it easier for everyone else on D because they feel secure to take chances cuz they know AD is there to help.

YOu can see where AD gets hurt. Looks like he slipped or stepped wrong over there on the base line when Gordon was coming thru with the dunk....right at the 2 second mark i think

Yep. Looks like he stepped on the dumb refs foot. :idoh:

Good. That's a simple lil' ankle turn. Shouldn't miss anytime at all.

Hopefully, but that's the same ankle he had the stress reaction in right?

I hated him in the beginning of the year, I thought his play was getting better as of late, but I guess he is just another inconsistency to deal with.

That was his foot I believe, not his ankle.

WOW NICE CATCH!!!

I watched the vid twice and didn't even notice it.

Good win but once again, these rotations are killing this team.

Once and for all, please never let Roberts run the point. Mason and Rivers will be fine on the second unit. I don't get why Monty even lets Roberts run the point when he's terrible at it.

I was one of Roberts biggest supporters when everyone disliked him. But he's worthless when his shot isn't falling. Play Rivers as backup PG and Mason as backup SG.

GV/Rivers
EG/Mason
AFA/Thomas
AD/Ryno
RoLo/Smith

That is a team with a fair bench.

Monty: "Rivers is playing well, so the best course of action is to give Brian Roberts his minutes. Yes... It just might be crazy enough to work."

I'm fine with giving roberts 3-8 minutes. In that time frame, we should be able to see if his shot is falling, if it is, playing him for an additional 5-8 minutes is acceptable, I suppose. lol

IDK... I don't like the guy's play style. Dribble, dribble, dribble... BRICK.

Anthony Davis Postgame

Grievis Vasquez Postgame

Jason Smith Postgame

Ryan Anderson Postgame

Monty Williams Postgame

Watching this game makes me hate Demarcus Cousins so much more. Such a whiny *****. It's beyond me why people STILL want him.

What the HELL is AD doing 5 feet out of bounds?!?!

He wasn't THAT far out but went out further with that little shove by Cousins.

Yes.

For those confused, this may be why: The ankle is a joint, and it seemed to the foot side of the joint instead of the leg side.

Left, by the way. Familiar?

Okay maybe not that far, but maybe if he is inbounds and cousins pushed him we get a foul call or something. But instead AD effectively took himself out of play and got hurt doing it.

It didn't look to serious, but with this team, I'm sure he'll miss some time.

Maybe we are showcasing Roberts for a trade?

My only real complaint with this game is that I dont understand why this guy is getting minutes. He is not a long term piece and he is not an upgrade short term. Mason has been on fire and Rivers looks very comfortable running the point with the second unit.

Roberts needs to be the 5th guard, only coming off the bench if an injury occurs or if Monty is desperate for a spark.

I didn't get to see the game. Davis get hurt or something ? Only seeing 15 minutes played ????
