    There is nothing wrong with playing your guys there. Blaming the coaching staff for something like this is borderline insane.

    There's nothing intrinsically wrong with having your key players out there.

    But when the only thing that could happen in that situation is an injury, what's the point?

    The goal was to make the game look closer and make BOB look like less of an incompetent ass. It backfired and he now looks more like an incompetent ass.

    Arian IS made of tissue paper. And he was left in there with 4 minutes to go in a 24 point game.

    Oh wellz!

    On err back to Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes, and Chris Polk!

    Wow. That sucks. Not because of the season which is already lost, but because this could be the end of his career. :(

    Nevermind. That's what people on the internets are saying.

    According to his mom, his injuries are caused by the way he's built..

    I don't know if that's something she heard from doctors or what she's come to believe...but his injuries scream issues with his biomechanics. Maybe he was born with structural discrepancies, or he hasn't done enough to look for the best team that will get him right.

    We'll never know.

    This is the end of the career IMO ... You could almost see how he was reacting as well. Tough ..

    I know some might not feel sorry for a millionaire but I always liked foster's personality and dedication to his field. The team relied on him more than any other player for a few years. Coming back from any surgery is not only physically but mentally exhausting. This one won't be any easier than the last. I really feel for the guy and wish him the best moving forward.
