If they go 2-2 I'd be way pleased.
 
In a way, Roy has let the team down with his stubbornness and lack of communication with the training staff about the extent of his injury. I understand he's a competitor and I love that about him, but an athlele at his level has to learn when to listen to their bodies and do what's right for the team and his long-term health. If it costs the team a game or two, I'm sure that's a fair trade-off, and the way everyone on the team is stepping up and bringing the effort every night, him sitting isn't a guaranteed loss, especially against teams like Detroit.
 
Yea I love the fact that Roy wants to play and help this team win but in all honesty we aren't going to win a ring this year so I don't understand why he would risk further injury just to come back against the 76ers...? I'm sure he didn't think he'd get hurt and he just wanted to play but our medical staff needs to make him sit for a while before he comes back again. At least 10 days. I think we can win some games without him.
 
Didn't Roy just say a couple days ago that he expected it to be a 4-game injury, same as last year?

Agreed.

Roy is a disappointment in a lot of ways.

No way. Have you ever had a strained hamstring? It's tricky as hell. You rest for a few days and feel like it's fine, then it tweaks on you out of nowhere. It's really hard to know when you are really over it. Brandon isn't being stubborn - I'm sure he felt ready to play today and was as bummed out as the rest of us when it came back and (literally) bit him in the ass. I got bad news for you guys - this could continue all year. I've pulled a hammy several times, and have played with guys who did as well. They are just a pain in the ass - and they can take months to heal 100%. So, how long do you sit him out if he feels okay? There's no guarantee (by any means) that in a week or even two that he'll be over this.

What a catch-22 for Brandon. Let's say he had played this real cautious and decided to sit out the whole road trip and the team goes 0-4. Guys like Canzano would be all over that. They'd question why he needed to sit out if it's just a strain (and not a tear) And that a true leader plays though pain like Kobe (bad back, broken finger) Poor guy - you can't win for trying sometimes.
 
:smiley-corbis:Unleash the Spaniard, he will conquer distant lands and bring greatness to Rome...err Portland.:smiley-istra:
 
Since this is from Quick, that means Roy's probably starting in Boston.

That's what I'm afraid of. A bad hammy is like a psycho ex girlfriend - they just don't go away. And just when you think she's gone and it's safe to come out and play . . . SNAP.

Is there something you'd like to talk about, Kaydow? We're here for you.
 
We can win all these games. Comon folks we have depth at SG for a reason. If we don't use it, it is useless. This is the exact situation we got all of these players for. If we got a win in San Antonio without Roy, I do not see any reason why we can' have a good shot at winning all these games. We just need guys like Bayless and Rudy to step up.
 
Somebody needs to introduce Brandon to Yoga. He needs more elasticity.

Have you guys ever heard of DMSO? I tore my hammy in college so bad that I had a bruise about the size of a football on the back of my leg from the internal bleeding. Everybody told me it was a 2-4 week injury. One of the guys on the baseball team gave me this (topical) DMSO stuff. I was back on the field at 100% in about 7-10 days. Totally unreal stuff.

It makes you smell like rotten milk, but it works. I think it's made from tree bark or something. I wonder if it's outlawed in the NBA?

DMSO rocks, but you have to be careful with it. In a majority of the cases, there is nothing bad about it, but it has some chemical properties which can be bad when in certain conditions, because it is a super solvent. Basically it will carry stuff into your body that normally wouldn't be able to get in. So you have to watch what you expose yourself to while using it.

Is it legal? Do they test for it in the NBA? Does anybody still use it? I remember the guy who gave it to me swore me to secrecy like he was giving me roids or something.

My father in law thought that stuff was the greatest thing he ever came across. Instant arthritis relief.
