    Why can't he just let it heal, play later in the playoffs, and get surgery in the offseason? Sure there's a risk he'll dislocate it again, but unless the injury is so severe that it requires immediate surgery to repair it, I don't see why we can't just do what we did back in December when he first hurt his shoulder against Charlotte.

    Man... talk about the worst time ever for this too happen. Luc was going to be key.

    Nailed it ! We need 5 Ingrams on the floor and you just named them. Ought to take a cattle prod to MDA for any other strategy. He's still rolling the dice NEEDLESSLY.

    In the words of the great purveyor of calm staying, I'm trying to stay calm. It's tough. I love Luc.

    Hell who knows? One of them might actually turn in to something if they actually get minutes.

    This dislocation wasn’t as bad as last one. Shoulder just pop out of place as soon as he dunked it. I believe they will pop it back up and he will just need a couple days of rest.

    This is what I meant when I called MDA an idiot the other day. Even the Lakers calling up random g leaguers. Warriors playing chess. Rockets risking health against Lakers 4th stringers lol.MDA is a good coach but this is his weakness.

    You want to go into the playoffs rolling like the Warriors? Winning 4 out of 10 games and having your guys feeling like losers? Winning is contagious. You don't just turn it on and off. Adversity comes, champions overcome.

    Uh, no. Even if they pop it back in, he's not coming back in a couple days. They'll be cautious and probably sit him during the entire first round. The good news is the NBA prolongs those series so much with all the days off that the 2nd round wouldn't start til the end of April. That's nearly 3 weeks from now.

    I'll take rust over injury any day of the week. Rust can be shaken off....injury can't.
