Amare's return

[fordronken]

For me, the drop-dead date is April 1, more or less. Later than that and it won't do any good to bring him back this season, so I'd just as soon let him rest. But that doesn't mean that I expect anyone to listen to me.

So, if we're in a conference finals match up with the Spurs and Amare is getting closer and closer, working his tail off and getting absolutely 100 percent, we're down 3 games to 2 and Amare says he's ready...you wouldn't want him to play?

And more importantly did you like how long of a run on that was?

I loved how long of a run on that was. It's not every day you see a run on that long. Oh. Wait. Yes it is.

And he hasn't played a minute until then? Since the probability of that scenario is zero ... sure, I wouldn't want him to play.

Chaplin, "If the doctors say he's ok, and he says he's ok, what right does anyone, especially fans who aren't doctors and have no idea what they're talking about, have to say about it?"

Lets see, have we ever witnessed a case where the docs, team and player all decided it was time for the player to return to playing after being injured, and later said 'maybe he came back too soon'?

Compare the number of times you've heard that with a statement like, "We were ridiculously over-cautious bringing XYZ back, we should have had him playing much sooner."

When the Suns consult me on the matter, and I'm sure they will any day now, I'm going to tell them just that.

How many times has the above happen, and how many times has it not? My guess is the latter far outweighs the former.
