well i don't entertain anything when it's story time, but unless i'm reading it incorrectly the team can stick blake on the suspension earlier than anticipated. well, if i got it right, anyway

And why the hell would they do that? They wouldn't. It's Wammy the Flaker fan just making **** up as usual.

you need to calm your damn self.

has nothing to do with wammy. my point is that the tweet intimates that blake could begin serving his suspension earlier. and that's coming from the LA times reporter. personally i'm just trying to figure out if i'm interpreting it correctly or incorrectly

And that's one of the reasons why I marked you on my Foes list. How many times do I have to keep saying I'm not a Laker fan anymore!?

I thought you said they weren't going to activate him? Oh.

I guess Blake is not so healthy after all:

But before Saturday’s practice, Griffin admitted that he’s not necessarily healthy, hinting that offseason surgery could even be a possibility.

“…It just wasn’t being allowed to heal. The tear is still there. It’s just about managing the pain and getting through this. It’s not a new tear. I wasn’t re-tearing my knee in different places. I wasn’t allowing the initial injury to completely heal.”

The Clippers and Griffin still haven’t figured out exactly what kind of player they’re getting for the final two weeks of the regular season. But even with time moving quickly, Griffin knows he can’t rush.

not exactly thrilled about this.

what does this even mean? he can't damage it any further so it's fine to come back? or is there still risk?

I actually don't really know. Seems like they are saying he isn't actually fully healed and for that to happen he might need off-season surgery. This doesn't bode well for any slight possiblity of making a run further than getting to the 2nd round.

Griffin was hesitant to call the injury as misdiagnosed, but said they weren't doing the right things to address the issue. I thought we were beyond these sort of things with our medical and training staff. I guess it's too much to expect given what happened to Jared Dudley under Doc's watch.

$2 billion team and we cant get a proper diagnosis on a quad tear.

nickhx2 · Post #232 » by **nickhx2** » Sun Apr 3, 2016 1:21 am

from what i understand it wasn't a misdiagnosis. it was either blake getting back at it too hard or too soon.

Isn't it up to the medical staff to figure out exactly when and how hard he can push it? It's not like he's recovering on his own at home.

Why is he even playing if not fully healed? Does anyone expect the Memphis series to improve his condition?

Yet another time we're reminded why other contenders are ahead of us, and I'm not talking about player talent.

I'm curious how far we'll go in the playoffs since Blake isn't fully healed and won't be until the off-season. I'm disappointed this wasn't made right, we've had since Christmas.

They DID diagnose him with a tear in his quad. How is it not healed when he had 3-4 months. This sounds like Blake being Blake and not doing what he's supposed to. Smh. This isn't good for the clippers.

Yes because it's Blake's fault the medical staff couldn't help fix his torn quad after 3 months.

So it's either Blake didn't rehab it right, or you don't have a medical staff that knows how to recommend limited activity and then physio for a quad tear (which I could find on the net). Obviously it's the medical staff then?

it's really hard to say who is to blame here. i'm not even sure if you can place blame. if i had to pick one person, though, i'd say blake is likely the guy. i'd just think it's a lot more likely that he pressed too hard in his comeback workouts than he should have, which is actually really easy to do. really, though, we don't know.

blake very well could have (and did) get the right medical advice on the actual injury and the timetable for when it was safe to start rehabbing. but rehab is its own monster and you can easily make a mistake going a little too hard in just one session. and sometimes you just don't know you messed up until that one extra rep starts making you feel crummy.

I just hope that Blake can stay healthy into the playoff run and that he can be effective for 25-30 mintues a game. If he needs surgery then by all means get it in the off season. I just hope that Blake isn't resentful for the way the injury was handled. As was said above, maybe it is his fault, but perhaps it was the training staff in which case I'm sure Blake won't be very happy. The reasons for concern are two- 1- he may not be able to contribute in the playoffs. 2. He is a free agent after next season.

although this is all pure speculation, i believe it is very possible

And if it is the case, then I think one could forgive Blake somewhat for him not being fully healed. After the punching incident, I'm sure he felt extremely remorseful. He's no idiot. He realizes how much his decision impacted the franchise, teammates and the fans. That would be extra motivation to make it up to everyone during workouts that could actually work against him in terms of the torn quad.
