He probably has another month until he can return to basketball related activities.

I regret the Hornets making that Pondexter for Vasquez trade so much.
 
That's really too bad. Memphis is 2 shooters on the floor from being even more dangerous. They rely a bit too much on Miller for outside shooting, right now.

Someone involved in the NBA could rob a bank and I don't think anyone would care at the moment

He might hit one 3 a game, but that's about it, and it just seems to make less and less sense that Caron Butler is playing ahead of Jeremy Lamb. Just stupid. Brooks is so over-thinking his rotations. If they played significant minutes during the regular season, there's no reason they shouldn't be playing right now.

Brooks' problem is that he doesn't think enough. Or his thought process is that of an infant.

He shortened his rotation for the post season, everyone does. Naturally, he picked the veteran over Lamb. It's shocking to me that Reggie is getting more burn than Fisher. Don't think that would be the case if Westbrook was healthy all year and Reggie never got the extended minutes.

To be fair Fisher isn't really much of a PG anymore and Reggie proved his worth last year in the playoffs, and he got that playing time without having ever really proven himself before that.

I think I picked Chicago to win this in five? Unbelievable.

Poorly executed by Bulls. Gave Wizards like 5 offensive rebounds lol.

Why pick a finished veteran who probably won't even sniff double digits over a developing kid who could drop 20 without warning? Play the kid. You don't need these veterans when you've got KD and Russ. Put the better player out there, which is Lamb.

You throw around the term "finished" way too loosely. Considering Caron Butler averaged double figures on the year, I think he's more than capable of scoring double figures.

^I mean he's not getting better, as a player. He may not be Kevin Garnett done but he's done growing as a player. Why take a chance on stunting Lamb's obvious progress by removing him from the rotation? It makes no sense to not give him some minutes to see if he can contribute in this series.

Im on your side. I've been on the Scott Brooks is awful bandwagon for the last 3 years.
