Kyrie out 4 weeks with broken finger 

Post#1 » by Dupp » Tue Nov 20, 2012 2:24 am

Well this seasons about to get really ugly for the next month or so. Anyone have any details on the injury? How it occured etc?

So with kyrie out how are we gonna score? we better hope dion really shines handling the ball in kyries absence. It's hard too seeing us winning many games if any. Do you guys think starting boobie with dion is the way to go? I know it weakens our bench bench more but what are our options?

This really is Dions shot. He'll pretty much have the green light to take any shot he wants.

Thompson has a nasal fracture and Kyrie with a broken finger. Time to bring out the tank.

Ugh, definitely not the news I want to hear... But I guess it's good as far as tanking is a concern....

Top 3 pick coming once again. I am all for rebuilding but after we get this pick and it will be top 3 now probably for sure, we better start to see some Trades or free-agents to add to the leagues worse bench. I am all for rebuilding but after 3 years in the lottery its time to start winning and start to push for at least a shot at the 8th seed and then to grow from there.

I'm glad it's only a broken finger, I really like watching this kid play.

Wiz fan here respectfully. With John Wall being out for us, y'all just can't let us accumulate all the ping pong balls without trying to take some for yourselves. LOL

Anyways, I hope both Wall and Kyrie comes back healthy soon.

Short term pain well worth the long term gain. We needed to add one more peice while praying they all pan out. This increases our opportunity tremendously.

Seems like I might have to make a 2012-2013 lottery standings thread. At least it gives us something to be excited about.

With Irving out a month, does this mean the chances of Varejao getting traded goes up? Cavs record will be pretty bad with Irving out, so maybe Varejao gets moved and hope for a high lottery pick.

I think Andy's stats will drop across the board without Kyrie, so if they really are looking to move him and tank this may be the time to do it.
