“He’s obviously having some of the post-surgery challenges of pain and everything else,” he said. “But the surgery went great. His spirits were pretty positive yesterday. We talked a little bit about how to approach the next five months with maintaining that positivity. Different ways to stay engaged, different ways to approach this, to attack this, and he was ready to get started on his rehab the minute he got out of surgery.

brad let it slip imo, the expected rehab time table is the best case, late march. that gives him like 6 weeks before first round...then rangz.

I'm fine with Frank having a more serious injury. He was already hurt, if he tried playing through it and sucked it would have just hurt his confidence and Hornecak would have relegated him to the bench forever. At least now he has an excuse.

wiggins might gain weight like kd did (very impressed with kd's defense last night btw)...both guys very thin as kids, kd started to get bigger in his lower body and rear end first before the upper body. wiggins is bigger this year. watching the highlights now. got lil junk in the trunk. help with postups, make him more solid and stronger with the ball. a big weakness of wiggins, and there are quite a few as we know, is stronger guys bumping him and bodying him when he dribbles and he loses the ball or gets knocked off balance.

I'd love to see somebody step up and organize a charity to help pay for the recovery of these heroes. Putting your body through what they go through, they should never have to struggle again. Nobody I know, or you know has any idea of the sacrifice they make when they decide to do that to their bodies.

I've been considering having a prayer group to watch the games with me, so we can send thoughts and prayers to the players while they are playing as a preventable measure, but the reality is there is nothing anyone can do.

The next time you see an NBA player, make sure to thank them for their sacrifice.

Frank is drawing live to be the worst player in nba history. His injury means nothing. Just unreal they picked him over Dennis.

Lebron and Love clearly don't like each other but they really make some beautiful basketball plays together sometimes.

KP is now essentially unguardable. It's the basketball singularity.

The Jazz players literally do not run in transition. Rubio is the first guy over the half court line most of the time.

Run with Rubio, get dunks.

last in pace every year under quinn synder and a slow paced team even before him. think you have to eschew transition opportunities to be as slow as they are
