    You're not and you're right, we shouldn't diagnose from afar. I was just putting that idea into the world because if it's what he has, it's treatable. If the man can be treated, why not. Therapy is not a big deal. Healthy people go to therapy. It's healthy for most folks really. It's just expensive to get a quality therapist.

    Is he actually going to play this year or are they more focused on him getting his mind and life together?

    I think playing would be helpful for him as part of his therapy honestly.

    That seemed to be his only safe harbor growing up.

    Still rooting for the guy. I know this guy can flip the script and become the lovable Rocket type. Own the past, work on his future, smile to the world.. Kevin can do this.

    What’s so neat about this season is that we get to see a bunch of young players play

    that never happened under Mike D’AnPhony

    Yup, the only time you see young players play back then was in the G-League.

    Yeah, let's not forget that not too long ago a young Miami Heat player flipped out in the lobby of his condo building and started screaming incoherently. It took several people to hold him down so EMTs could get him on a stretcher, and he spent a few days in the hospital afterward. There was very strong speculation at the time that drugs were involved, possibly even bath salts, but those rumors were never confirmed. The Heat never gave any details about what was going on, and it remains a mystery.

    And now that guy is the most loved current Rocket (or almost-Rocket, at the moment).

    Too bad there is no G-league to send him to.

    It's due to injuries, especially to the "star" players.

    What a bunch of maroons.

    Vipers schedule came out few days ago.

    Will be played in a bubble.
