read the article. It's a sucker punch of the worst order

"I'm shooting right handed and getting lots of airballs."

All of these strike me as really bad things.

Dude go back read it again and apply a little reading comprehension. He's talking about having these problems NOW during pre-training camp scrimmages. 6-8 weeks away from the start of the season that is not bad news at all. Hell your comment about not having full motion in his left hand is just plain wrong.

"I still don't have my full range of motion like I have in my left hand"

I read this + watching the video as great news. He's on the court getting some play time in now with his new team mates well before the season begins and he's still targeting playing game 1 of the regular season.

The Pashcketball video really solidified it for him, couldn't advocate for watching it more----seeing Bogut expressing confidence the way he did made me see the article in an even better way.

Worth checking just to see how he's carrying himself right now. Ya gotta love it!

Forget any caveats. Bogut says he's "definitely ahead of where the doctors expected." How can this be a negative, even with every caveat he gives?

He also says that he "can lift weights, & I can do conditioning. I have no excuse not to be in shape once they throw the ball up."

And how about this from Jennings: "Just to see him out here playing, that's a very big sign right now for us."

Great, great news!

The Bucks should get in touch with Massive Dynamic just to be safe.

+1. I don't care if he shoots 0/5000 and doesn't score a point in scrimmage, as long as he's out there playing it's good news, considering not long ago we weren't sure he'd even make the first part of the season.

We thought this was career ending when it first happened. This is excellent news.

Yeah, it'd be a bad thing if he was sitting on the sidelines watching the 5 on 5 scrimmage saying those things. The fact that he's participating in the 5 v. 5 alone shows that he is clearanced to take some hits and not hold back. Of course he's going to have pain. I don't think anyone in their right minds, with what we've seen the past 2 weeks, would have ever predicted Bogut would be playing in a 5v5 scrimmage.

Awesome news. I have no doubts about Bogut being healthy by season opener.

Yeap. Great news. I wasn't too worried.

Loved hearing that he has been participating in scrimmages again. This makes this an awesome sports day for me with a Chelsea win, a Whitewater football destroying some team 70-7, and Bogut playing 5-on-5's.

Sounds like good news to me. I'm surprised to hear he's running 5s already.

You must have never had a joint injury before. It's very common for pain on direct/unexpected contact and swelling 12 months after an injury. And he may never get full range of motion again. As long as the joint surfaces are Ok and the joint is stable, he'll be fine.

This is really excellent news!
