QCH Source: Nic Batum tore UCL in his left elbow. In all likelihood, he's done for the season.

We just can't win.

$22.5 million this year wearing civvies. Groan.

We are never going to see this team at full strength are we? After MKG, I don't know why we even play our players in the preseason. This is depressing.

I expect a breakout season from Lamb or a big time rookie year from Monk. At least now they'll have significant playing time.

We can't have nice things.

This definitely hurts playoff odds.

Wow... season over before it got started.

This contract is really going to hinder us now. He may not be an effective starter going forward. This also could hurt his chances of transitioning to his more natural PF position.

I'm really glad I didn't pay for cable yet. No need now

Unbelievable. Terrible news.

If Lamb starts then we basically have two 3 point threats in our starting lineup and one of them is Marv, who is barely a threat. If we start Monk then our backcourt defense will be atrocious. We'll have almost no playmaking in our starting unit either way. We should seriously consider just tanking this season if things start out ugly. I don't want to finish off Kemba's knees by running him into the ground trying to make the 8th seed.

So back around new years? This could be like when we lost MKG early on two seasons ago. It's going to force some guys to step up early.

Ok, thats a relief if true. I wonder if he is getting surgery? I hope this isn't a situation where he probably should get surgery but they are opting not to.

We all know he will come back too soon and re injure himself.

8 weeks = Nov 30th
12 weeks = Dec 28th

Swing and a miss from QCH. Time for Bacon to grow up fast and Graham to heal up fast.

Update of 8-12 weeks is much easier to deal with.

Work has been frustrating today, so when I saw this thread it pushed me over the edge. I was raging for a bit, haha.

I'm really happy that my anger was premature, lol.
