    Not awesome he got hurt, but awesome news overall. Should be just fine for the playoffs, which is all that matters to me.

    I'll wait on Feigen to make this official. Watkins is just an opinion guy who loves attention.

    Terrence Jones purposely planned this injury so he could sit home and watch March Madness.

    The lung is only "partially collapsed." Why can't Jones just breath and play with the rest of his lung?

    You're right. He should just suck it up and play.


    On a more serious note, this shouldn't be season-ending, right? We're looking at maybe a couple weeks? Three at the very worst?

    Hopefully he can be back before the playoffs to get his rhythm back.

    That's probably on the high-end. 1-2 weeks seems more likely, especially because the recovery time for this injury is pretty drastically increased if it's treated immediately. I've had this before. Sounds worse than it really is.

    So D-Mo and Dorsey as starters? Or D-Mo and Josh?

    I think I'd go with Dorsey and leave the bench chemistry intact. Dwight will be back in a few games anyway.

    Gotta be Dorsey. Smoove is too good off the bench with Brewer.

    Why do you choose to be that guy? Making witty jokes at the expense of someone's else's health is borderline psychopath.

    Watkins is legit. He was moved from ESPNDallas to ESPNHouston to cover the Rockets. He was big time for ESPNDALLAS

    The last collapsed lung I remember was Gerald Wallace taking the elbow from Bynum in 09, and also having to be taken out in a stretcher. He missed 3 weeks, so playoffs are still in the picture hopefully for Jones.
