Darn, just starting watching the video. Why didn't De'Aaron get it fixed sooner back when he was still with the Kings. He said the Doctor/surgeon (or whoever) said it was the worst one he's seen and it started healing wrong. He said the tissue was healing under the joint, but it's supposed to be healing over the joint. Said it's never going to be totally straight again.
He showed that if he didn't tape the pinky with the ring finger, the pinky would stay bent so that is why he had to tape it up to play. I didn't realize it was that bad. IMO, he shouldn't have been playing like that and I wonder why he didn't get it fixed sooner. I would have thought it he was allowed to play, it would only be because it wasn't going to get any worse, but when he said it started healing wrong, I wonder if it would have made a difference if he got it fixed right away. Hopefully it doesn't affect him going forward.

Edit: Thanks for posting the video.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Sucks the kings org sucks. But that's the reason we got him so tlitbc

Funny. I'm paraphrasing, he said if you go on any fan base's twitter or somewhere, you'll usually find a third of fans hate their team's coach. No coach is going to be perfect. A coach can win 10 titles in a row and you'll still have 25% of the fan base that wants him fired ;).

The better part was more mocking of those fans, and should sting more than a few here:

“Win a game, coach is good. Lose a game,coach is bad. Play the players I like,coach is good. Play players I don’t like, coach is bad”

Looking at you, ST.

I think they said the recoup period is 6 months. He would have missed a significant portion of the season, since it happened during training camp.

I remember being lambasted for suggesting Spurs needed to pull him sooner for the surgery and more Ls. When it was the obvious play once Wemby went out.

is Fox really the fastest PG currently?

is Fox really the fastest PG currently?

I'm not sure, but he's gotta be close. 3.2 seconds I think he said to get from one end of the court to the other? He said he's not even sprinting. Said KJ tells him he's faster than him. Needless to say, I disagree with Keldon.
