Jrue return!!!!!

[BP225]

He will play before the year is done. I am willing to make a friendly wager on this

I'm sure he will play again sometime in the 2015 calendar year. If you want to be really amazed, I bet I know where you got your shoes at.

[Bongzilla]

I am willing to take this wager

Ditto, I'll take this wager as well.

I am of the believe that this will be a chronic, and on going issue for Jrue. IMO we need to trade him ASAP.


Great player -check. Spent 50% of the last 2 years on the IR - check. Reasonable to assume this will become chronic - check.

Stress fracture is basically a weakness in the bone. How can this be true and not be re-occurring? While I have read on this board that there is no propensity to re-occur, that is simply not true. THEY DO OFTEN RE-OCCUR. Think about it, you have a bone weakness, at a place in your body that takes a TON of stress. Basketball players run, cut, shift, and stop about as much as any sport. This is, once again, putting constant and continual STRESS on a weakened bone. I can't be the only one who thinks this will be ongoing for the rest of his career? Can I?

Multiple months for a few "hot spots" and "swelling" -- not good. Having a stress fracture happen in basically the same spot you just had surgery to repair..... not good.

As for Jrue playing... even if he was healthy.... why would he play? To re-injur himself? To mess up all of our rotations and the good basketball we are playing?

I keep seeing how we need Jrue back, and Reke can't do this....blah blah blah.

IMO, we wouldn't even be sniffing the playoffs with Jrue not getting injured. It has always been stated that we had an odd man out at the G position, well to me, that player is Jrue.

He is probably our 2nd best player, but so what, I don't like his game, and we have a losing record with him playing over the last 2 years.....

Trading Jrue would make no sense. No team is willing to give up anything to get him at this point. You're buying high and selling low.

People can be aggravated or whatever that he hasn't been able to stay healthy but he absolutely makes us a better team and the ONLY option I see at this point is to hope for the best. Trading him will get you next to nothing. Hope he can stay healthy and be happy that we have Tyreke in case we need him to play point.

[PELICANSFAN]

Jrue may have surpassed Gordon as the most injury prone player on the team.

[Taker597]

Wait Jrue did get surgery last year? Really? I thought opted they out of surgery and went with rehab?

[N.O.Bronco]

Jrue may have surpassed Gordon as the most injury prone player on the team.

The narrative and talking points certainly are starting to mirror the Gordon story. Minus the immature statements that plagued Gordon's early years here that intensified the scrutiny.

[Asteptooslow]

Hopefully, he doesn't come back slower and less athletic.

You guys are all taking this quote and running with it the wrong way. You will see.

Let's talk again this weekend.

For all those willing to take my friendly wager - if I am right and he plays before the regular season is over, you have to leave 3 sincere, positive comments about Monty and Asik on this board every day for a week. What you got for me?

You change that hideous outdated AVI of yours and replace it with da GAWD Marvin Williams.

I will replace it. No Marvin though, but open to other options.

[iNolaNightmare]

I will replace it. No Marvin though, but open to other options.

My suggestion for the new avi.

I will replace it. No Marvin though, but open to other options.

Not sure how informed John Reid with NOLA.com is but it is getting harder to optimistic about Jrue's return when nothing but bad news is reported:

What if you already say nice things about Monty and Asik? I want Monty and Asik to get extensions through 2020. I also believe Monty should be coach of the year.

I want you to bash Ryno until the cows come home. J/K we will just leave it at the sake of being correct.

[kdalw1]

Haha. You are too cruel.

I don't really have a problem with asik, now Monty on the other hand...

[Heavy]

My suggestion for the new avi.

that one's already taken

[Eman5805]

That's the only face Gordon can physically make.

[Brian]

Who is this Jrue Holiday you speak of?

[kclaboy504]

Who is this Jrue Holiday you speak of?

Good lord this has to be the best Avi ever. Who is that? Any idea?

[42]

You guys should have 4 way tourney... rivers, stiemsma, salmons, henry.

[Sovereign]

Misa Campo

ETA: Actually it's not. Still, you won't go wrong searching for Campo

ETA 2: Spent waay too long searching for the right girl, I've seen her before too... this is frustrating dammit

ETA 3: If anyone's seen her before, feel free to add to the conversation for scientific purposes

Monty makes it sound like he COULD play, but they don't know how effective he'll be after missing so much time. The fact that there's only 6 games left is a factor as well.

'I know we don't have as many games left, but my hope is that he can play this year and help us,'' Williams said. ''Even if it's in a limited role. I hate to say day to day. But it does have that kind of feel, especially when you have limited games to go. I still don't know. I hope it's tomorrow.

[DaBrow]

He is probably our 2nd best player, but so what, I don't like his game, and we have a losing record with him playing over the last 2 years.....

Lead off with that next time so I can save some time by not reading the entire post. You dont like that he plays elite defense? And hustles on every play? You dont like that he is the best all around guard on our team, that can mesh with any line-up? It's just astonishing how "what have you done for me lately" this forum is. Yes, the guy is injured and has been for longer than he has ever been. Yes, mostly everyone on this forum is worried about his injury being a future problem. But to say things like "we wouldnt even be sniffing the playoffs with jrue not getting injured" and then saying "he is probably our second best player" is just plan ignorant, honestly. And also to say "we have a losing record with him playing" is also a weak arument knowing how few of games our starting 5 have played
