Did Dame have his kid yet?

Was wondering that also.

Not as of practice yesterday:

 

[THE HCP]

I truly believe the boys see how big this road trip is and will come out hot tonight. I think we crush these guys. Was really hoping The Chosen Ones baby would already be here, and not show up during this trip. He may have to leave the team and come home this next week.

 

[illmatic99]

What does that mean? A scope?

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

If we loose it's because the refs fucked us over.

If we “loose” its because we didn’t tighten up our defense.......

Anytime doctors are opening you up, that ain't good. They must have thought rests lone would have cleared up his problem......should have done this 2 weeks ago.

Technically, minimally invasive surgery is not "opening you up". That's the whole point. From the Mayo Clinic web site:

"In minimally invasive surgery, doctors use a variety of techniques to operate with less damage to the body than with open surgery. In general, minimally invasive surgery is associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.

Laparoscopy — surgery done through one or more small incisions, using small tubes and tiny cameras and surgical instruments — was one of the first types of minimally invasive surgery. Another type of minimally invasive surgery is robotic surgery. It provides a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical site and helps the surgeon operate with precision, flexibility and control."

A+ for original content.

If Meyers Leonard starts in place of an injured Nurk, I think we're in good hands

I think it would be kind of great if Dame plays the first half, we have a nice lead, he gets called to the hospital, team goes on and wins one for the Little Nipper.

Plus it will be over with and he won't miss any of the important action, then he'll be able to go on the road.

Good thing they didn't show his face after these dunks on this video. The stupidest faces I've ever seen him make, and those are no small words

 

[noknobs]

Not as of practice yesterday:

Well I hope the baby doesn't make it all about him and decide to come out on a game day. Not cool, baby.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Well I hope the baby doesn't make it all about him and decide to come out on a game day. Not cool, baby.

Did Dame have his kid yet?

Technically, HE's not having a kid. SHE is the one having the kid. Dame's just there for support.

 

[kjironman1]

According to the Family leave act of Oregon Dame can take 14 days off for the birth of his child.

 

[kjironman1]

Or he can take 12 weeks if he wants also. That works out to June. Just in time for the finals.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk is injured?

 

[Chris Craig]

taking his own #lillardtime

So he will be born at the end of the 4th quarter

 

[Boob-No-More]

Nurk is injured?

Jusuf Nurkic 2018-03-22 Back Nurkic has soreness in his lower back and his status is uncertain for Friday's contest against the Celtics.

How do you know Dame's SO prefers the pronoun "SHE"? Technically, you don't know. And why do you assume his SO identifies as a female? ... which makes about as much sense as correcting Chris Craig.

 

[BonesJones]

You just afraid that he goes back in lazy shit mode and then you have to defend him as you allways do even when he plays terrible

No I'm not. Don't ever tell me I'm afraid of some made up crap. I give him fair praise and criticism.

 

[hoopsjock]

No I'm not. Don't ever tell me I'm afraid of some made up crap. I give him fair praise and criticism.

Keep in mind this is the same guy who talked mad shit about Dame after last game with no stats to back up his claims all while having a picture of Dame as his avatar.

God I hope we have him on Sunday. OKC is give us all they got

Didn’t Oden have this done, and came back in a few weeks?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Works very well then

 

[Boob-No-More]

Didn’t Oden have this done, and came back in a few weeks?

No, Oden never came back from any surgery in a few weeks. He had three different microfracture surgeries, which can best be described as maximally invasive. So much so that the procedure is no longer used on professional athletes.

Maybe you are a Nuggets fan whose fetish is to iritate PTB (and Nurkic's ) fans as well... I say maybe...

 

[SportsAndWhine]

He doesn’t have to take them all at once; he has 365 days to take them. So he could take a few weeks before the WCF, then a few more before the ASG in 2019 to be rested for the second championship push.
