nobody's claiming that the doctors said ron was healed, but you're in denial if you can't accept that the doctors cleared ron to play and said he wouldn't do any further damage by playing on it. if he has in fact made it worse, then its hard to draw any conclusion other than our medical staff messed up big time.
calm down. this is just a fancy "medically-justified" way for artest to take a break and rest up to help him feel 100% without the criticism that tmac has endured. Notice Shane is back now from his medically-justified vacation? Sure you noticed. As long as we are healthy heading down the stretch and into the playoffs, all is well.
So is Ron seriously hurt or not? I find it odd tonight's chronicle would not have done a follow up. I refuse to accept another major injury.
2nd time vs Lakers, Ron is out, Battier is back, good or bad, we a have one best defender to defende Kobe Bryant. Bad thing is we dont have two best defenders to serve Kobe in turn. I dont know will tmac play or not, hope he can play and do well his job. But if he cant play, we still have great choice at position 2, Von Wafer is the answer. Rockets, Go. Revenge Lakers. Lakers is the best to prove how good we are, we can beat Lakers surely.
i guess it's time to put up or shut up. We can still steal a few while our starters heal. besides, it's our second unit that's the spark anyways lately. edit: wait.. is he out for the season?
If he gets a season ending injury, then, these medical staffs should get kick away without even a second of hesitation.
Why wait for that? If he's injured because not resting, it's time to fire medical staff. Too many injuries, maybe not that bad luck, is too much casuality.
Just heard on 610 that Ron may come back earlier. They said he is definitely out tomorrow, but he practiced today and Rick said he may come back earlier than planned. I dont want him to rush it but if he feels like he can I hope he plays...
I think the organization has had enough with this in and out crap, but are keepiong it inside..... I would not be surprised to see Tmac back early too. DD
If the organization is taking a stand, then good for them.....they should also stop all this bickering in the press..... Just take control...tell the players to do their job and to keep the fighting and angst in house. I think this is just the team taking back control. DD
