I like your optimism. Let's pray for three weeks and a clean sweep. Minny better not pull any of that 2000 Sixers/Lakers game 1 BS. Also, your profile pic is terrifying.
hope Luc speedy recovery and come back sometime in the second round, to get his condition right before we face worriers in the west final
Hopefully he can make it back by the WCF and be a big contributor. He's definitely going to be at risk for another dislocation, but hopefully he can survive one more month without it dislocating again before getting surgery in the offseason. Who knows how he will be after surgery, as his arm may never be the same. Luckily, his game is predicated on defense, so he should be able to come back strong. Not the type of surgery you want when you are going to be a free agent though.
Devastating blow for our bench. Should be able to get past the TWolves without him, but the Utah/Thunder series will be a lot tougher now. And we have no chance of beating GS without him, so hopefully he's back by then.
Not sure if I agree with that - this team is still talented enough to get through Utah/Thunder This team has dealt with injuries all year - Brewer got hurt in the last game; injuries happen - Time for the other guys to show up... "Sending positive vibes to JJ, Green, and Ryno"
The main concern is that his agent might ask for another doctor to evaluate .........(like Kawhi) Then he would be out of the playoffs.
Gerald Green can approximate Mbah on the offensive end but we could use the wing defender depth against Paul George/Melo/Westbrook. I think we can still beat OKC in that matchup, but at the expense of a longer series.
You realize that if Luc was going to dislocate his shoulder on THAT play, chances are he was a ticking time bomb. Would it really have been better if he had dislocated it in the playoffs?? At least this way, we have time to work through rotations, and not scramble to find replacements in the middle of a series. There's literally nothing MDA could have done to prevent this. Players have to play. One game of rest would not have solved this.
I can’t believe people are actually complaining about a bench player who only played 1500 minutes this season to need more rest. Hey, the Rockets have to play at least 8-9 guys every night with a roster of 13 players. Even if MDA wants to he can’t just rest everyone. And that’s before the fact that some of our guys have been dealing with injuries. It doesn’t work like that. It’s a bad break that LMM was injured at such a bad time but things like this happen because the nature of the sport
Kawhi was being cleared to play by team doctors, but he and his agent want the second opinion from an expert. How about Luc Moute? playoffs = a bigger pay check? Last year, George Hill selected pay checks, not playoffs.
This is an idiotic response by someone Considering I predicted this would happen if they kept playing meaningless games you're wrong. but its no surprise on this board. people say "dont play them in meaningless games they'll get injured" players gets injured and people like you are like oh well it woulda happened anyway, lol no
Someone will give Lux Moute 3 years 29 million MLE in July. Not enough free agents need to meet team minimum salary at 90 million GM needs to do the job (can't just sit there to get pay)
Last time Luc was out 4 weeks. BUT, the Rockets could have been extra cautious at that time. We don't know, but it is likely. Here, Feigen says he might be back in 2-3 weeks. 3 weeks would get Luc back in the second round around game 3. That would be pretty nice!
