    I don't think he ever did. If I'm remembering correctly Kobe said the reason why he didn't want to get it surgically fixed was the rehab would take to long and he had gotten used to shooting with it.

    Crazy I know. Two fingers on your shooting hand and you still find a way to dominate.

    Right now he's listed as 50/50 chance to play. Still pretty sore.

    Why do we have so many back to backs? I feel like almost every game on this road trip has been a back to back. Hope JC gets right soon, but I guess in the meantime this is more playing time for Russ at least.

    Will be nice to get Jordan back in a couple of days. Been clearly missed. Kobe and D'Angelo are the only consistent threats right now offensively. Only problem is Russell almost certainly goes back to the bench.

    I heard the preseason would be shorten and the number of back 2 backs reduced .

    The league needs to act faster on this matter to make it actually happen

    i'm too lazy to look at the full schedule right now, but IIRC we have less b2b than last year, but we have several in the beginning of the season. i believe we might have already gone through half of our b2b so the rest of the season shouldn't be as bad.

    I love the aggression. Guy is deceptively strong when he drives, goes up in the air, and shrugs off a defender like he's nothing.

    Clarkson is never scared, doesn't give a damn who he's playing against...call it quiet arrogance.

    He plays best when he ignores the coach and improvises with his skill and athleticism

    And he probably does it at a much lower usage rate, no?

    Yeah 20% difference in usage rate is nothing to sneeze at. JC is playing on par or better than #1 pick, on a team that he is not the featured
    scorer.

    He averages more rebounds, assists and steals in less minutes and shoots higher percentage across the board.

    Ryan/Jessy did very very well.

    If only our moron of a coach knew something about coaching. Or players. Or basketball. Or teaching.
