Is this injury likely to reduce DJ's long term athleticism?
lol that's funny but I do get what message he's trying to send. He tries to make the most out of a player's longevity during the season and rest players on back to backs and etc. but at the same time he's not going to coach scared bc a couple guys got injured. Meh idk.Rest is for the regular season, especially nationally televised games.
manu coming back would be cool. i'd rather have him over any other veteran PG i can think of that's available.
white/patty
beli/manu
when lonnie is healthy manu's role/minutes could be reduced further.
So you're saying the majority of the West's opposing backcourts won't go for 40 on us every night? Or that they won't attack our glaring weakness over and over and over and over? Or that DeRozan and Aldridge getting even 20 a night will make up for the lack of defense we will exhibit? Keep in mind other teams have deployed a strategy of outscoring their opponents (Rockettes), and the reason they can do this is they have transcendent players like Harden and CP3. Doubt even DeRozan can do what Harden does on the court, getting 50 and 10.
Maybe Becky can suit up
I hope not. There’s been many players to rehab successfully. Didn’t Bertans lose 2 seasons with 2 ACL tears early in his career. Long term I think he should be fine. It does rob him of one year if development at a still young age.
they don't have to try to tank. They are going to seriously suck. White isn't going to surprise anyone. He stinks. Forbes and Mills are fringe players. DeRozan gonna need to do a lot more ball handling. Anyone want to buy some tickets? .
Spurs are ed. This is a devastating loss for the team. I'd be surprised if they won more than 40 games this upcoming season. Losing a starter throws rotations all into whack.
The Spurs will be fine defensively. They won't be great, but no, back courts won't be scoring 40 on them every night. The Spurs should still be a good team at defending the three too. Schematically, they're still the Spurs.
I do think that it's cool that Dejounte showed up at the facility and met with his teammates the very next day.
Shows you his maturity outside of the youtube, instahoe, BS, etc.
He could have easily hid in a closet while letting his Uncle speak for him like some kind of mute got tbh...
Yeah, Davis had two such injuries and it robbed him of considerable lateral quickness. Hope DJ makes a full recovery. Sometimes these are 2 year injuries. 1 year to get back on the court and an additional year to be your old self.
They will miss him (and the others gone too) but especially him now that others are gone. I don’t think they will be helpless but definitely not as good as they could have been. Execution from limited personnel just won’t be the same.
I still expect them to make the playoffs but the game just got a lot harder for them.
Lateral quickness is super important for a guard making his money on the defensive side of the ball tbh. Something to think about. Praying he’s fine at the end of this basically... I expect both guys to take time to feel right kinda like Rudy Gay. Since they are so young it’s difficult to even know where they would be development wise if not for the injury.
This post will be bookmark worthy.
Me too.
How's Kyle doing in Memphis? Haven't had time to check out their highlights.
How did those schemes work when Mills was switched off to guarding Durant? How did Forbes do in the same situations? How does it work when that's all we have at the PG position?
probably not. torn ACL's or borderline routine in pro sports these days. as long as he doesn't rush back he should be fine when he returns. jordy nelson is a guy who tore his ACL at 30 years old, came back the next season, put up about 1250 yards and led the NFL in touchdowns.
Cheers. Good to have some optimism in this thread.
Yeah I think this will actually help DJ long term. All of these super athletic guys have to have at least 1 or 2 big time injuries to start adjusting their game. He won't be 19/20 anymore and will have to play like a normal guy. Can't try to jump out of the gym on every play, unless he decides to do roids (cough Wade cough Westbrook cough LeBron)
So you're now saying that because GS' PF scored on Forbes, everyone else's guards will do the same? Come on, man, try to be consistent here? Not being able to defend Golden State is not the same thing as every back court in the league wrecking them.
He debuted quite well for them: 12 points off the bench in the first game, but then missed the next two games with a sore heel. He participated in full practice today so it must have been something minor and rest was precautionary.Me too.

The Grizzlies look healthy for the first time in a long time. Conley is playing well and surprisingly Chandler Parsons seems healthier than he’s been in years and is starting games. Even played 7 minutes of a B2B. I don’t know how long this will last but they are healthy and for the Grizzlies that’s half the battle.
damn we lose our 3 best defenders in an offseason. we are gonna look like the Lamarcus blazers
get well soon DeJounte!!
Manu ain't walking through that door.
Tony ain't walking through that door.
Duncan...
DRob...
Gervin...
