GP2 underwent an off season procedure

[illmatic99]

So we're nearing the halfway point in the season and no GP3 still. With the lack of communication on this, I'm not buying the "season conditioning" excuse. Dame was back for preseason, and if I'm not mistaken, both he and GP3 had the same abdominal surgery at the same time. This to me sounds like there's more to what ails him than what we're being led to believe. Is there an ancillary injury I'm forgetting? I know we're in this for the long haul with GP3, but this season started with so much promise and he would have been a difference maker in 10 games or more. I'm just frustrated - we need him.

Dame's surgery was in January. GP2 had his in July.

He had it later than Lillard

OK I see that. Looks like his was closer to Little's core surgery. Thank you

GP2... years?

By the time he finally plays, I feel it's gonna be GP2-little-2-late.

By the time he plays GP3 will be in the league.

People will start counting time in GP2 weeks instead of dog years. Sorry, @SlyPokerDog

you forgot pictures of Fabricio Oberto and Joe Ingles

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Has anyone checked to see if one of GP2's legs is longer than the other?

Or if he's been playing Dance Dance Revolution?

All I care about is that he knows what to take pictures of.

Honestly not a good look for Joe that his prized free agent who hard capped us hasn't played a single game.

Getting Grant was the prize of the offseason.

Relax people. He'll be back soon and he'll have an impact when it matters most.

He was dressed down last night....Not sure why he would be unless he's close to playing?

He'd have had to play once for him to "be back", but I'm with ya. He was more impactful in the postseason last year for the warriors than he was in the regular season, so as long as that trend continues, who cares. We just need to make the playoffs...

He didn't want his picture taken during Lillard's post-game ceremony in street clothes.

So he's back to wearing hoodie during games?

Grant didn't hard cap us. I said "prized FREE AGENT."

why in the hell won't the team give us some reasonable update

Because they might not know. If it's a "feel" thing and he's just "sore."

Holy crap--"Fortnight" is an even better nickname than "GP2weeks".

 

[Strenuus]

Patience is goooood.

 

[Chris Craig]

I wouldn't be surprised if he made his debut against the Warriors. I also wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

I wondered about that. The flip side is he might not want to get embarrassed in front of the GS crowd since it would be his first game back....and more than likely a little rusty.

I wish everyone would chill out on this. The team and GP2 himself have said that he's making sure that he's 100% when he starts playing in games again. That's why they haven't listed him as injured but instead have been listing him as being out for conditioning. I don't think this is some conspiracy (however much people love those these days) and I think it's pretty simple.

GP2 and the team have made the decision that they want him to start playing in games when he can make the team better, not play into making the team better.
