Thats not a wear and tear injury. Thats just bad luck.


A bad luck that didn't need to happen in a scheduled loss. Totally avoidable in a meaningless game.

He’s been back for like 2 weeks…

What? Are we supposed to just sit our entire starting lineup because a couple guys are out?

And shooters on our team can't.

You can see Quickley's confidence is shot when he passes up numerous shots that he would've let fly.

Doesn't matter this game but given how much we get screwed by refs in most games, we should be saving our challenges until the 4th quarter at least.
