    Lying about injuries & timetables is old news for Presti & Co. tbh. Do people really believe the organization is legitimately shocked by this miraculous recovery?

    How do we know these aren't more mind games after two successive beatdowns? I'll believe he's playing when it's officially announced Sunday.

    Sounds like a very plausible explanation.

    Give the fans hope, play for 10 minutes like a zombie (which won't change the outcome of the game anyway), be a local hero, provide a feel-good excuse for being swept by the Spurs... there are only positive aspects to this story for OKC management.

    totally reaks of desperation by okc to pull this move, they look like noobs this series, totally out of sync top down. strange for a team who's been there before. didn't expect such a complete lack of poise from the thunder in this series.

    They've got quite a long history of inaccurate injury timetables then. I mean when does it stop being coincidence that their guys always seem to come back sooner than expected and accepted as just a part of their Front Office M.O. tbh.

    I'm thinking the exact same; OKC trying out the psychological approach..

    Exactly. The franchise was already born from sketchy origins. To think that lying about how injured a player really is a stretch for their org is pretty dumb to me tbh.

    Presti's most recent quote says something along the lines of "Well, there was so much blood and swelling in the original imaging and diagnosis, that is what we based the expected time for return on."

    Cracks me up…so basically he's saying "our medical staff can't read an injury MRI and it's all their fault that we lied"!! HAH!!

    Throwing the docs under the bus!!

    Either the Thunder' medical staff is terrible at diagnosing injuries, or the Front Office isn't genuine in how they deal w/ injury reports.

    I refuse to believe that a professional team's doctors are that bad.

    Nothing wrong with that, of course, as they're not breaking any rules to my knowledge. But it gives you some possible insight on how the organization is run over in OKC tbh.

    Did Presti had an update on the rectum tear his team suffered last Wednesday?
