    I'm baffled.

    How in the world does a guy go from being out a few weeks and should be back any day now go to being out for the rest of the season and the playoffs?

    Is Keith Jones a good Head Athletic Trainer?

    What the hell did Clutchfans do to the basketball gods? Because the fact they ******* hate us is difficult to argue.

    sigh. There is a certain segment of the Clutchfans population that finds it necessary to prop up their favorite players at the expense of another--in this case, its jones vs. DMO rather than "hey, lets cheer for both guys equally because that helps the team win!"

    Lots of Jones fans hated DMo's success and pounced on him the second he had a bad game... and some DMO fans did the same but --to me--it felt more vicious coming from the Jones fans. This vitriol of picking a side started (for the most part) when Jeremy Lin came onboard and then escalated to out of control levels until he left. We are still experiencing the remnants of Lin's ghost as people beat each other up over DMO and Jones.

    Bottom line, losing EITHER ONE hurts the team. Sucks all around.

    Accounting the total number of bodies that have been out AND total number of games missed, we have been MORE snakebit than any other team, INCLUDING OKC. I understand that KD, Russ, and Ibaka basically ARE the entire OKC team, but we obviously have had numerous injuries ourselves, but whoever was "next man up" has indeed picked up the slack.

    I'm guessing you missed the Yao and McGrady years.

    the basketball gods have deemed that Capella will go 0-200 on FTs before making his first one apparently...we will see lots of hack-a-cappella if he even makes it to the court.

    Honestly bro, we gotta still keep on hoping.
    Can't piss those Gods off anymore.
    Who knows why or how they became pissed off at us in the first place.
    We gotta show we still believe in them, for whatever thou shall throw our way.

    In other words... **** THE BASKETBALL GODS... :(

    I am tending to blame either DMo or the Rockets. Probably DMo. Woudn't be surprising if he kept ignoring pain until it got unbearable and did not report it

    Maybe they did and mri which shows a need for surgery?

    FWIW, i doubt Keith Jones does much besides just hold the official title of Head Athletic Trainer. He's more of a front office guy now, it seems.
