Afflalo update?

[KingSpeed]

Any news?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Any news?

Nothing new that I can find. Someone said something about a tear but I think we're waiting for MRI results and a timeline. Shit.

FWIW:

 

[S550]

He'll be alright

 

[BlazerWookee]

He'll be alright

Who are you, and what did you do with S550?

 

[S550]

Who are you, and what did you do with S550?

Haha its me

 

[BlazerWookee]

Haha its me

That's exactly what I would expect someone pretending to be you to say...

The training staff told him to walk it off and to stop being a pussy.

I thought they got rid of Bobby Medina.

Hmmmm my dad and Bobby Medina must've had the same philosophies when it came to injuries.

Any updates yet? I keep refreshing Twitter, but nothing ... not a peep. I would say the pessimist in me believes the longer it takes for a diagnosis, the likeliness of good news decreases.

Mark my word he'll be fine.. If anything the longer it takes the more likelihood it's nothing

Told you guys.. Not bad.. He'll be fine

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well, not awful, but if he's not available for Game 1 of round 1, that's still a big blow.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

not too bad. not optimal but at least i'm not in a spiraling depression anymore! :MARIS61:

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Hopefully not the 'couple of weeks' shoulder strain that Freeland had.

 

[MAS RipCity]

So, do we keep CJ in the starting lineup for the playoffs if Arron's ready to return?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

CJ is the better player (vs Crabbe and maybe even Afflalo at this point) but I bet Stotts starts Crabbe and keeps CJ in his bench role as it is a good fit for him.

 

[PDXFonz]

Fuck the TNT reporter who reported last night saying "I followed Afflalo to the locker room and he was in noticeable pain saying he felt a tearing sensation in his right shoulder"

I wouldn't put CJ in the starting lineup at all. Crabbe is longer and a better defender. We need CJ's scoring punch from the bench.

 

[noknobs]

Aren't we undefeated or something with Crabbe as a starter?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

8-0 I think.

Well...maybe he said that leaving the court.

I wouldn't put CJ in the starting lineup at all. Crabbe is longer and a better defender. We need CJ's scoring punch from the bench.

On that note...Crabbe might be ready. I loved the poise and quiet confidence he played with last night. He's a decent defender and if he gets hot. Look out:

Still not good news

 

[BlazerBeav]

Still not good news

Uh, this is the Blazer board after all - did you expect any?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mother F'er! I had complete amputation in the office pool.

I hate when I pick wrong.

 

[S550]

Still not good news

1 week or so is still not good news? Ok. I guess

 

[Rhal]

Still not good news

Thats about the best news possible with his situation.

 

[riverman]

Hopefully not the 'couple of weeks' shoulder strain that Freeland had.

you beat me to it again Homer!
