[Injury Update] Beverley and Jones out for at least a week 11/7/2014

"We're gonna be without Terrence for, you know, almost the whole season. Up to this point you know, ah, his comeback date is, there's no time on that whatsoever."

Kevin McHale, 11/24/2014

(sorry for the repost)

 

Correct me if I'm wrong

Terrence Jones
Injury: "Drop Foot" banged nerve
Return: No Timetable

Patrick Beverley
Injury: Strained Hamstring
Return: No Timetable. "...suspect he'll be out longer than last
time"-McHale. (Last time he sat 4 games, and was out 12 days)

Dwight Howard
Injury: Strained Right Knee
Return: No Timetable. Knicks pre-game Adrian Woj said he was a "probable go"

Isiah Canaan
Injury: Sore Back
Return: Still playing. Craig Ackerman said he "seemed to be fine." But Nick Johnson was called up just in case.

Tarik Black
Injury: Jacked-up thumb.
Return: Still playing with it heavily taped. Craig Ackerman said he "seemed to be fine"

Kostas Papanikolaou
Injury: Sore thumb on non-shooting hand. Heard on 790 this morning.
Return: No reports saying he is out.

Clint Capela
Injury: Apparently still recovering from strained groin.
Return: Playing on Vipers apparently with set limit on minutes.

 

I could be wrong, but i think those posts mischaracterize what mchale said abt TJ. In the post game I heard him say we didn't know that we'd be without TJ for most of the season, up to this point. As in, we didn't come into the situation knowing he'd be out as long as he has -- not that he expects him out for most of the full season going forward.

 

I just posted the transcription word for word at the top of the page.

 

Yea I agree, tough for me to say who's better, but we need both of them back regardless.

 

Quick question. I've watched most of the games, but I havent noticed if Tjones has been on the bench for them? I see Dwight and I remember seeing Bev when he was out, has Tjones been there?

 

I agree with this. He was talking about "up to this point."

That was word for word, but you have a period where a comma should be, before the "up to this point" part.

McHale wasn't saying TJ would be out for almost the whole season.

 

T Jones is been there. I didn't see him last night but he's been in other games, well dress btw.

 

How do you say "We're gonna be without Terrence for, you know, almost the whole season, up to this point"? He clearly says, "We're gonna be." You can see it as well as hear it. Oh, I know, McFailHair is so idiotic. . . .

Well, then what does this mean? "his comeback date is, there's no time on that whatsoever"?

 

As KlutchQT was saying, he was answering a scenario question. He was mumbling, but the beginning was about we didn't think we were gonna being without TJ for almost the whole season, up to this point. He was explaining that this scenario wasn't something they planned.

If you want to get into semantics, the point is that a Coach doesn't drop a bomb like that; you're misunderstanding him. And why would one sentence say matter of factly that they will be without him almost the whole season and the next sentence say there is no timetable that they don't know. That doesn't make sense. Plus, no follow up question on such a big comment, because no one else misunderstood him in context of the question.

 

He has for the home games.

 

I dvr'd his interview and just rewatched. You left out the whole first part of his statement, which makes a huge difference, imo. You also omitted an "and" that suggests the "up to this point" belongs on the tail end of "miss almost the whole season."

Media: Could you have thought coming in that with the injuries and the way you had to piece em together that at 14 games, you'd be 11-3?

McHale: Well... I mean, you know, no, you never look at everything and kinda think boy, we're gonna be without Terrance for you know, almost the whole season up to this point. And you know uh, his comeback date is, you know, there's no time on that whatsoever.

Not trying to be nitpicky and we can certainly agree to disagree, but I just didn't hear it that way, especially given his full statement.

 

Hm, OK, maybe you're right.

Q: "Could you have thought, coming in with the injuries, and the way you've had to piece it together, that through 14 games you'd be 11-3?"

A: "Well, you know, hey. You know. Nah, I mean you never look at everything and kind of think 'Boy, you know, we're gonna be without Terrence for, you know, almost the whole season, up to this point.' And you know ah, his comeback date is, you know, there's no time on that whatsoever. . . . So it's been kind of crazy."

 

FWIW though, I highly doubt we see TJ on the floor again in 2014.

 

his injury is a very sensitive because it deals with nerves so u can't be too careful.

i hope the doctors don't clear him until a week after he has regained complete feeling completely or at least 48 hours.

 

Anyone know what he is doing there? I also interpreted McHale referencing the past not the future.
