...Elton Brand was able to play several solid years after coming back from same injury and he relied even more on his athleticism as a "big" so I am sure Boogie will be just fine since his game isn't as explosive

Holy crap. How do you guys think this affects Pelicans this year? They still have Davis. They may still be good. Or are they out of playoffs now?

Does losing a 25/12/5 guy affect the Pelicans? Short answer: Yes. Long Answer: Definitely.

And he wont even make it D1. This kid makes Tacko Fall look like the most agile person in the world.

Who replaces Cousins in All Star game? Paul (Chris or George?), Lou, or Drummond?

Well, not Drummond that's for sure

How will it affect them in the standings?

They are going to drop like a lead balloon

 

[riverman]

They are going to drop like a lead balloon

They are going to make trades.....Meyers!!!!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Can we petition the NBA to let us GIVE them Meyers as compensation for Boogie getting hurt? Call it a charitable player donation.

(Like donating a pee stained mattress to Goodwill)

 

[riverman]

They have to trade Boogie or lose him for nothing....he's a free agent....I'll bet they could get Tyson Chandler for him or Deandre Jordan right now.

I feel like you just want to see Boogie's head explode. Meyers, of all people, replacing him?

(So do I.)

I don't know. They still have some good players.

 

[Lukee]

Andre Roberson is hurt pretty bad. Damn.

Ouch.

Speed that clip up, put Yackety Sax on, and you have a decent Benny Hill sketch.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Fucking pussies all of them.


(By the way, I thought I tore something stretching today)

Getting old sucks when you used to be indestructible.

Yikes, OKC has been a completely different team defensively when Roberson is out. That one could cost them a couple wins.

Yeah, their defense will take a serious step backwards. Also, OKC already had an iffy bench and lack of depth before this injury.

That was awful to watch.
