    While this is good news, why didn't they perform an MRI after the San Antonio game especially given his injury history i.e. lower leg injuries specifically...

    MRI's cost money. I'm sure they have procedures as to when testing should be done. Not saying that it is financially related but it's not like we just ignored the situation. We probably let him rest a few days to see if it was something minor and make a decision from there.

    probably because bradley didnt think much of it. thought the pain would just go away since it wasnt a fracture at the time. good thing it was caught before it got even worse.

    I thought Bradley was doing well, but I'm hoping Caruso can solidify more minutes while KCP and AB are out.
    It's hard for any coach to pick a proven professional over a new player with no pedigree, and I thought Vogel did a good job of still making the effort to find him minutes.
    Now Caruso has a chance to prove he merits more time and a consistent place.
    This being said, I hope Bradley makes a quick recovery.

    Should have signed Melo! He would have totally provided what Bradley offered.

    caruso is a bench player. i worry about him getting exposed playing too many minutes against starters.

    It's sink or swim time for Caruso.
    Once we traded all our youth... AC and Kuzma are our only hopes.
    The other players have all reached their respective ceilings.
    I'm hoping Kyle continues playing like he did last game and I'm hoping AC gets back to the form he had at the end of last season.
    I don't expect him to shoot 45% from three... but I'd like to see him shoot at least mid thirties and improve his free throw shooting.
    As he plays more, the game will slow down and I think some of his panicky mistakes will lessen.
    He's got athleticism and talent and my hope is that he becomes a regular rotation player instead of being put in random situations.

    But everything about his play so far says otherwise, except the inconsistency in his shot. some players shrink with extra responsibility (KCP), and others grow into the greater role. I'd like to see if Caruso can grow into the role. I think he might be up to it.

    F***. F***, f***, f***! Here comes my nightmare, now Rondo will move to the starting lineup, our defense will start to slip, the lazy turnovers likely go up, the paint will be clogged because defenders can stand 10 feet off Rondo and he still won’t take the shot, ugh.

    Time for Norvell to get some love. If KCP is good enough to play, then so is he.

    F*** yeah. Do it Frank. Let's see what he's got in the AB role out there next to Bron and AD during this weaker part of the schedule. Thank god you can't start KCP now.
