I remember when VDN was criticized by management for playing Noah too much when he was coming off injury, and noah isn't all that good. Wonder how Garpax feel about Rose going down. Thibs rides his horses, nothing wrong with that, he's always done that. Even if Rose would have been taken out, at some point this playoffs he had a high likelihood of his knee getting hurt I would think.

Jason Goff and Dan Bernstein were just saying on The Score that Derrick had switched from lace-up ankle braces to tape. And an athletic trainer of some ilk called in to say that taping ankles puts more stress on knees, and taping knees in turn stresses the hip. The give has to come somewhere. I'd say we just had a conglomeration of factors leading to a high probability for a serious injury.

The toe, the groin, the ankle, the back, the dumb schedule, the tape, the coach who rides his horses(,dude) - they all add up to a serious risk. The man was on borrowed time this year and there isn't one simple reason why.

As for what GarPax feels, I'd guess it has a sads.

But anyway... Bench Mob! The NBA's best bums are set to take on the world. I think they have enough to beat Philly in 5 or 6 games and if Boston doesn't survive Atlanta, this Bulls team could be bound for another showdown with the Heat. JLIII must be licking his chops.

Also, it's weird but when people play a lot of sports they tend to get injured sometimes.

Of course, we can also go smash our heads against so many brick walls trying to figure out why.

I'm no expert, but not smashing your head against a brick wall would probably be a good start.

If anybody cares about such a thing, Popovich named Coach of the Year, Thibs finishes second.

Going from Derrick Rose to John Lucas at point guard is like going from Derrick Rose to John Lucas at point guard.

There's no other way to complete that analogy because it's the worst thing that could ever happen.

It's even more sad when Mike James is a better option. I liked seeing Lucas dribble out the shot clock, then hand it off to someone with 5 sec to make a play.

After some rough calculations, I'm fairly certain that Lucas leads the NBA in dribbles-per-possession with 472.3.

He's just too little to be out there.  At least Mugsey or Spud were fast as hell and drive to the hoop.  Lucas III just dribbles like a tard, and then jacks up a shot that he thinks is awesome b/c he scored 90 points at Rucker Park once.

And he makes just enough of those stupid shots to mentally justify the next 10 ill-advised ones.

Did anyone else see me bank in that running floater over Elton Brand? And then hurl my tiny body into camera row to try and draw a foul, then take five seconds to get up and not be in position to get back on defense so the 76ers got yet another fast-break dunk? I am awesome!

Yup, Wade definitely deserved the ejection and suspension he got for that.
