I think T12's injury is either more severe then they said or they aren't taking any chances and resting him because they know where aren't winning anything this year.

I'd still say in the next month or so, he doesn't want to pinpoint it because ankles are tricky.

It seems that Tobias' injury was worse than we thought. It allows other players to grow, and allows him to focus on health. We need him long term, and it doesn't matter too much when he gets back again this year so long as he gets decent play time with our other project players.

Rather Tobi be 100% than risk injury. Team is doing fine without and have plenty of depth in the interim. Plus, BBD is coming back to Prove Ya'll Wrong!!!

BBD was quite excited last night. Evidence A:

we can watch games on nba league pass broadband for free until tomorrow i think.

We can watch the Warriors try to quiet all this 76ers buzz bull.

I for one am tired of MCW filling up stat sheets. I'am ready for him to blow a few games.

why not? let him get some good exposure beyond the "blue collar hard worker that cant shoot from the outside and has no handles" label that has been stuck to him.

I feel bad for Tobias. He worked so hard in the off-season only to have this injury set him back. Hope it doesn't take him too long to get back in to the swing of things when he gets back.

lmaooo sooo much truth. I predict he has 5 steals at least. Curry/Thompson back court is like going trick or treating 8-)

agree, tide. We say we want a star, well this is part of what makes them stars. He doesn't have to win to gain new fans. Let the young dude shine.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.

They said indefinitely, so pretty much nobody knows including Tobias. If he's gonna end up needing surgery or something i hope he does it now so he might be able to come back later.

So 4 games in, Anthony Bennett does not have a single FG and has a negative PER.

Still early, but not a good sign.

The cavs drafting team is HORRIBLE. i mean its like theyre always trying to find that hidden gem so much that they miss the obvious. theyve had 2 firsts and 2 fourth's and they chose irving (who they lucked out on) thompson who was a reach waiters who most projected around the 10-15 range and bennett who has asthma is undersized and doesnt play defense 1st overall. i mean are you kidding me? and then theyre gonna wonder why irving wants to leave in a few years, its cause you missed your opportunity to surround him with help. same thing they did with lebron and the same thing otis did to dwight
