    Seen him on the bench a few times during home games. Definitely not traveling with the team though.

    He spends too much time giving Cod red herrings.

    Maybe he's spending a lot of time in the Valley tutoring Caboclo?

    I was going to joke and say “the problem is he was born in...” and list the year but I googled it to get it right and find out he’s only born a year before me. Yikes for me

    There's a few guys on this board that are just obsessed with constantly running down our players... this guy is scrub, that guy is a scrub... if yer not elite - then yer a scrub with no hope or potential...

    I understand being frustrated at various players at various times... and I do my fair share of b****in and bellyaching (particularly regarding MDA)... but some of these guys are making it a full time profession...

    I'm glad EGo is not familair with CF - and i hope a lot more are not... cause its getting downright embarasing for being a 'fan site'... lol

    Calf strain III ,I assume.
    Which would take 3 months max to a full recovery but since Nene is 72 he might be out till the playoffs.:(

    Dick too big . In his old age , his muscles can't bear its humongous weight anymore . He needs to have reduction surgery ... but it's a very personal matter . It's taken a while for him to decide , after all he is parting with a very intimate friend .

    Seriously, when is Morey going to do something about this bench? We’re playing a 7 man rotation (I do not count Frankenstein) and our starters are logging way too many minutes. Time to act. Drop MCW’s sorry ass and start acting.

    Its not frustration its the truth. the problem is you guys are man babies that cant handle any criticism at all. it gets annoying. its like an elephant in the room, we all see it can't say anything or the manbabies will cry foul. Morey has too many aging players and scrubs surrounding our stars this year its just a fact.

    I often forget he’s even on the team

    I appreciate what he did for us in 16-17, but he’s pretty much done now and is just collecting a check at this point

    Great post OP. Aside from being a locker room leader - not sure.

    Nene in his prime = Championship

    Current Nene =DNP

    We seem to be always on the down side of some of the best players careers and that’s a fact.

    His postseason run in 2016 was amazing. He was huge against OKc and even in game 1 against San Antonio. To this day I really feel like if he doesn’t get injured in that series, we would’ve neatened San Antonio. I was so sad and disappointed with the injury I didn’t even want to resign him. Between him and Paul and Luc last season, that’s the reason while I’m against getting so old constantly

    Think its time to move on and get another backup center. We bash CC but he's tired from having to play major minutes. Whenever he's on the bench, he has to sub back in when Isiah starts getting in foul trouble.

    Nene is a fine backup if you can save him by playing Chriss more in the regular season....oh wait.

    Nene has been injury prone his whole career. Nothing new except he's a year older this year than he was at this exact same time last year.
