Raja Bell's injury...

[TJ]

And hopefully Giricek's thigh bruise isnt serious.....

Him and DJ are gonna be spelling Nash for his breaks

 

[Hat]

Did Giricek play tonight? I was listening to most of the 4th quarter on radio and didn't hear Giricek's name being called.

No he was out with a thigh bruise, as mentioned earlier.

GG has a thigh bruise, dont know if he's going to be able to stay with TMAC. We shall see, but I say Hill cant do it alone.

TMac? Overrated. He's a brick waiting to happen.

 

[arwillan]

Dont flatter yourself, he was talking to 95pro.

which seems odd, seeing that i was the one he quoted yet none of what he said related to anything i said.

 

[mojorizen7]

Arwillan, are you still on strike? And what are you boycotting to protest?
I'm Just curious and bored.

 

[AceP]

I read from somewhere saying Bell will be out for a few days, probably back after Tuesday. Can some1 confirm that?

You said everyone watching the game heard about it; I said that I and others had no chance to watch the game. Then I mentioned someone else. So, next time you want to play offended over absolutely nothing at all...don't. Why are you being so strangely touchy?

 

[Phade]

i was watching the game but in silence cause my my wife and son were sleeping next to me..

so i was someone who was watching the game but didn't hear the outcome of bell..

 

[fordronken]

My main concern is that Bell will come back while it's still tender, and his defense and shooting will take a lot longer to come back than if he'd just waited an extra week for it to fully heal. That's the good and bad thing about Bell. He tries so hard, but sometimes it's too hard.

 

[Cheesewater]

I think we can guard McGrady without Bell... McGrady looks tired after carrying his team for 22 games.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

ok it's a sprained ankle, to me it looked like a normal roll of the ankle. Now iirc those would keep me from playing for about a week or so, but I was a stupid ass and really did nothing to make it heal, no ice, no NSIADs, in fact sometimes Iwould just keep playing because my freinds would rip me for being a *****.

Raja is a superb athlete with the best PT staff in basketball, I am sure it won't linger too long, they probably iced it and gave him naproxen. He'll be fine in a week.

 

[TheHopToad]

Looks like he didn't have any additional swelling on the flight or overnight and is tentatively doubtful for the Houston game Saturday. Not as bad as orignally feared. Good news.

That's good news...

 

[elindholm]

"Tentatively doubtful"?

it seems we have a misunderstanding. i didn't mean that the thread was unnecessary because we all knew or anything like that. i just meant that it sucked having to hear about it over and over again because nobody really wanted to be reminded that we could be in trouble with that injury, yaknowwhati'msayin'?

 

[KidPhoenix]

With Houston playing for the fourth time in five nights and the hangover that generally comes from a long winning streak this game shouldnt be a problem. Let Bell rest for the East Coast trip, so Leandro can come off the bench and light it up

thank you for the link, but the news doesn't sound too good. i really hope he's there for monday's game. We need him on rip/chauncey pretty badly.

 

[arwillan]

any update on raja? will he play on monday? i can't seem to find any good info.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

I'm going to leave a burning bag of poo on dantoni's doorstep if he brings raja back too early.

 

[bigfoot]

We know he'll be tempted to to prevent another embarrassment like our last game vs the Pistons. I hope coach and Raja use VERY good judgment on this one. i don't mind losing to the pistons again in the regular season if it means this team playing with a full complement of players in the playoffs.
