Well, I guess we're going to see plenty of Smart.

If it's only 6 weeks, there's a silver lining to it. Everybody else gets more minutes in the preseason.

Smart will start and NL41 was the first to know it. Gotta give credit where credit's due.

Only thing going through my mind is the "oh wow" jpg.

Like in a completely depressed way.

That brutal November is looking even scarier with no Rondo for training camp.

I've seen Rondo fall lots of times and not break his giant hands.

Yeah and to break it bad enough to pin it, had to be high impact. Feel a bit like a jerk assuming, but have to call a spade a spade when you see one.
