Thanks for the update, I’ve been trying to take work calls whilst watching the game so missed all of the commentary.

He wasn't rushed back early, it was actually later than initially reported.


Normal recovery for his level of tear was 3-4 months.

It's still just mid season, but I consider this a must win game. We can't afford to lose a game like this while our rivals around us are surging. We're severely shorthanded, but Toronto just isn't interested in winning and we need to find a way to pull this out. We have done that so many times this year and we really need to do it again here. Paolo needs to carry us to a win tonight.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I agree. Must win in terms of hitting near our high-end scenario.

Paolo needs to tell Cooper via Duke connection to give Masai a " how are you just checking " call.

That team would instantly shoot at their own basket just yo give us a win.

I don't think that's true. At least I haven't seen any articles saying that. Tears vary. Cole came back in a month, Marcus Smart even sooner, Paolo was out longer than that (from the ones I've seen that define it as "oblique tear".
