    Anybody heard anything about what the dealio was with Faried not being at the game?

    Very strange for a player to miss a critical playoff game.
    Yes, I know, he wasn't getting any PT. But, still. Very odd.

    Hopefully he didn't go full Vernon Maxwell and walk out on the team?

    Don't know says personal reason ... could be a family thing ... Let's not speculate too much. He has not played much either and wouldn't have played last night anyways.

    He's probably fasting and a guaranteed DNP. Who cares, wasn't going to play anyway.

    Hakeem Olajuwon Played 38 minutes in the Regular Season when he was fasting.

    In Cricket, Hashim Amla scored 300 runs in a Test Match when he was fasting.

    Fasting makes you challenge yourself, what is it like to experience as a poor person, Muslims believe It keeps you away from bad deeds, like the devil whispering bad ideas to you.
    Plus Devils are chained in Hell in Ramadan, by ALLAH - God.

    Personal Reason means Family Issue, Health etc.

    Fasting means no drinking liquid, no eating until 5 am prayer to 7 pm prayer.

    This whole thing is ashame, I’m utterly shocked he’s got little to no time spec when we needed rebounding and energy. I’m not saying he’s not flawed but he’s had a history of matching up against draymond green fairly well this year. His best games this year were against the warriors!. The whole 3 minutes he played he literally got an offensive rebound and passed to an open Gordon and got an assist.

    Also not having house as a factor is hugely disappointing. I knew he would fizzle down a bit in playoffs but I never thought he’d be this useless.

    Outside of that hope everything is good with Faried on a personal level

    MDA mismanaged Manimal and the value he brings. because MDA doesn't appreciate rebounding. after all, he thinks we are going to win the boards by starting guards. And i hope i am proven wrong,but i think his luck is gonna run out on that sooner rather than later. it's a shame we couldn't find a way to use Faried's talent.
