It's a temporary set back. He should be back soon.

I hope you're right but IDK man...

Just keep him out as long as needed,  Do not rush him back.

and this guy???The new Speedy Dunn.  Which means we won't see him 'towards the end of March'

 

 

Looking back on the Speedy Claxton signing. His numbers weren't that great. Im not sure why we gave him that deal.

I was obviously being glib. 

Since I've been charged with making you a better person, I'll let you know that no one thought you were being "glib".

You're welcome.

One day I'll be as virtuous and noble as you. It's a long journey.

It's nice to have goals, but maybe shoot a little lower than me.  Try Mother Theresa.  The Pope, maybe?  Baby steps, homes.

I remember one of the healthy games Speedy played.  Even at like 5 - 11, that guy was defensively dominant and was definitely a difference maker.   Let me see if I can find the game I'm talking about.  I think it was against Memphis.

I can't find footage, but he definitely had his best game vs Memphis ( 19 pts - 11 asst - 3 stls ).

The fallout from not drafting neither Chris Paul or Deron Williams really messed this team up.

Career eFG of .417 and he didn't shoot threes. It's hard to see him playing in today's NBA.

We were feeling the burn from passing on Paul and Deron.  It amounts to one word:

Desperation.

I honestly didn't even remember he actually suited up for us. I remembered him being literally injured the entire contract.

Damn, how bad was his injury?

If i hear the words '2 weeks' and 'John Collins' in the same sentence i'm going to lose my mind.

I don't understand how you miss this much time because of soreness?  I hope he's been secretly working on his handles and a nice floater/layup package.

Soreness is a euphemism for tendonitis. And achilles tendonitis can linger for awhile.

This season had so much promise but injuries just killed it ... hopfully this last little bit will improve as peeps start coming back.

Yes.  And all things considered we're still in great shape standings-wise.

5 games above the play-in game(which I want no part of btw).We need to finish at least 6th, knowing Atlanta luck.....I Just hope all of those teams below us keep losing and we can get back on track after this trip...lol.
