Howard and Lin miss practice with sore backs 3/3/14

Said no Tmac ever.

 

BUUUUUURN

Ya got BIT.

 

Explains Lin's struggles. Why didn't he tell the fans earlier so we could have avoided 15,000 posts on his poor play.?

 

Does a sore back make you drive to the lane with nowhere to go and literally throw the ball at the wrong teammate three times in a row?

Look I'd love for Lins back to be the explanation for his collapse in the game that is basketball but come on... Let's be rational here folks.

 

I think teams and players like to be mum on these things because it doesn't help your team one bit to tell your opposition who's hurting, what injury they have, etc. This knowledge can be a great help in game planning and strategy.

 

I don't think the issue is team-wide. It is just the trio of Parsons, Howard, and Lin. If they were not doing something that broke their backs at night, then it has to be the medications/supplements they use together that causes the issue.

 

My neck. My back. My p***y and my crack.

 

time to bring up Asik and Cannon

 

If Dwight sits out tomorrow I'll lose some respect for him not gonna lie. Tomorrow's a statement game & we really need Dwight, he's the mismatch that works for us.

 

If the guy can't go he can't go. This is a regular season game, not the playoffs. If it were the playoffs it would be a different story

 

Lin has been doing that for years, since Linsanity. It's nothing new.

 

Lin not playing? gonna have to watch some heat and okc games now to see some superstars

 

I think that was sarcasm from the post you replied to~

 

Bye bye Jeremy.

 

Glad it's not serious AND he MUST play tomorrow- D12 that is...

 

This. I don't want Dwight to play hurt over a regular season game lol. Not worth it since he's such a vital piece of our team.

 

You mean the only starter who has not missed a game? If he is hurt, he is hurt. It is the regular season...

 

I knew I was going to get this reply, you guys can keep acting like it's just a regular season game but it's not, these two games against Miami are pedestal games. Miami has owned us for a couple years now & you know Wade's had this game marked on his calendar the whole year due to that Durant comment before the season.

The west is also not losing as of late & this a tough stretch coming up, if Dwight's saying that it's just a cramp then I expect to see him in uniform tomorrow. We have them at home on a b2b, can't be taking off nights.

Little over reactionary with my last post, I won't lose any respect for him if he doesn't play but I will be disappointed.

 

The mistakes are not new, but when healthy, the mistakes came in between effective drives at the basket, and those became fewer with the injury. It's actually not that rare for NBA players to look like that are playing stupid basketball when they get physically diminished with age, injury or obesity.

The big myth about Lin is that he is a white point guard. You know the type: heady, high motor, making the most out of limited physical ability with smarts and hard work. The truth is that he is one of those "relying on athleticism" guys who is good because he is fast enough to blow by a defender and strong enough to often finish through contact. Someone more from the Baron Davis-Ramon Sessions - Stephon Marbury school of PG than Steve Nash - John Stockton. When his body isn't right, his game isn't right.

 

I'd prefer Dwight to rest. We know he has a history of back problems .

How does jeremy hurt his back ?
Get some treatment dude
