I will never look at eating ham the same.

 

Lol

 

Agreed. This is BS and if they don’t address it everyone will do it.

Time to dust off “basketball reasons.”

 

The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that forward Trey Murphy III has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain. An MRI taken today confirmed the injury, which occurred during yesterday evening’s practice. He will be re-examined in approximately three weeks.

 

Their medical staff sucks with this 3 weeks stuff when our’s does it in 2.

Robert Williams injured

 

Still want to trade ?
INJURY UPDATE: Robert Williams III experienced a grade 1 left hamstring strain during training camp this week.

He is expected to miss two weeks, and his status will be updated as appropriate
He played 6 games in the last regular season and 35 the year before that

 

No.

 

yipes. the mavs have a few guards, but he was quite useful for them last year. i imagine dinwiddie and jaden hardy will pick up the role.

 

yes, he was solid for them during their playoff run. Hope he makes a swift recovery. Love to see us play them at full strength in the playoffs.

And the moon has craters.

 

Not playing in preseason opener
October 4, 2024
Edwards (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason contest against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

 

Well now that we aren't the first team to employ him, we can be the second. That was the optics issue we had with Kidd as HC, we didn't want to be first.

Make room for 'Do for a behind the bench spot next summer.

 

If he can stay out of trouble off the court, I second that opinion.

 

This was a real bummer. He was an incredible defender, had an infectious laugh and enjoyment for not just basketball but for life. He paved the way and was the role model for players like Embiid and Siakam. His reach went so far beyond basketball though, he was incredibly generous and did tireless work in the community not only in the city he called home during his NBA tenure, but in Africa.

He was part of my favorite period of Hawks basketball. I went to go see that squad play all the time (Deke, Mookie, Smitty, Laettner) and they did a ton of fan meet and greets. I went to most of them. I met Deke a handful of times for a minute here or two minutes there. Great laugh and energy. I remember the first time I shook his hand, I was around 10. The tip of his middle finger reached my elbow, I'd never encountered someone that size before (that held until I met Priest Lauderdale years after his brief stint with ATL...he was HUGE)

I thought after his diagnosis he had a chance of recovery. Updates the following year...18 months seemed promising. Such a shame.

I don't think we'll ever see a finger wag in a NBA game and not think of Mt. Mutombo

 

I could care less whether or not any other team is at full strength or not. They never say that about us, they just pile on with the rest of the haters. Let them be injured, F'em, I don't care how we beat them, just beat them.
