    crazy though to think that they are saying he is out for 2 months with a broken wrist and yet Swaggy P was given the same time table but for a torn ligament in his thumb. Our injury just screams BAD LUCK

    Wow talk about not seeing this coming.

    It's sort of about time though that he goes down with an injury. He's been extremely lucky thus far in his career.

    Every media outlet is saying 6-8 weeks but thats a real optimistic timetable. It's kind of a tough area to heal quickly because blood flow to it can be difficult. This is the same injury Yao Ming had at one point in his career. Obviously for a 7 foot 6 inch guy it would be a tougher injury to come back from but nevertheless....

    Ouch..... Really wish we had a season where all the tops stars are healthy.

    Let's see how RW steps up as the top dog of the team.

    That's huge news for OKC - and awful for KD. I probably jinxed him. I was looking at his stats two days ago and saw that he had missed almost no time in his career. Oops.

    wow that really sucks for KD and the NBA in general. a bit ironic considering that people were guessing that he pulled out of Team USA ball because he didn't want to risk injury.

    I looked at his, too, but I should note that I looked at every current Laker except for Young, too.

    Really too bad for Durant. This was his coming out party after winning the MVP last year. He was the consensus number one fantasy prospect because of the expectations that he'd take his game even further this season.

    I don't know much about Beal, but I'm sorry for him too.

    Really too bad.

    Westbrook's shots per 36 minutes over his career:
    14.8
    14.8
    17.6
    19.6
    19.3
    20.2

    Do you think he shoots more than 24 times per game? (Kobe's only done that once - when he averaged 35 a game)

    Nobody can stay healthy for a while ... Players need to take a serious look at their style of play and "lifestyle "

    Is it wrong for RW to "take over" now? I say, chuck away!

    Yeah I'm all in on the Russell Wilson chuck-a-thon! Why not? There's nobody else on that team that deserves more looks than him with Durant out. He should take all the shots Durant was going to take AND his usual shots.

    Here's to 40+ FGAs!

    How about it's "sort of about time" for LeBron rather than one of the "gooder" guys.
