Well, at least he won't light up the Spurs for 44 points/game.
cough, cough, BULL !
The docs say 4/5 months. They say by March. Why should the Suns towel boy say differently. If these "Insiders" had any pull in the case, they'd be named.
It's a little trick of journalism. That and the "Those familier with this line of thinking" garbage.
Why are the doctors just completely disreguarded?
This is just a rehash of earlier statements.
There is nothing new here.
Amare will be back when he is ready.
4 months or 12, nobody knows for sure. His rehab schedule still calls for 4 months. We will only know how close he is after the 4 months has passed.
Anyone that tells you they know for sure when he will return is lying.
Now we will have to wait an entire season until we prove to suns fans that their new team is inferior to last years.
Not sure what fans you've been talking to, but once JJ opted for Hotlanta, every Suns fan I know of was blasting the Suns ups for letting Championship contention slip away.
Perhaps the Suns needed it proved to them...
The extension doesn't kick in until next season.
No surprise. The original estimate of 4 months was ridiculously optimistic. It's been over 6 months for Zach and he still isn't close to his pre-injury self.
I guess that would mean something if they had exactly the same injury.
...and the same work ethic.
Zach's injury was worse. Please. There are various forms of surgery for various forms of injury.
Fact is, it was a lesion no bigger than 1 centimeter and in a non-load bearing area of the cartilage. It happened in March. He sat out a few games and trucked on.
Exactly.
Didn't Randolph have ligament damage of some kind?
And for people jump on the Suns fans for drinking the Kool-Aid nobody is saying he will for sure be back after 4 months.
This "article" does not tell us anything new. The medical prognosis for his recovery has not changed from what it was the day after the surgery.
why would sun fans want him to rush back
do they not think nash can play for 2 more seasons at the high level he played at last year?
amare is not going to be the same tell next year... even if he comes back this year
None of the articles I've found said the extent of the microfracture surgery, but a few added that he had bone contusions as well.
At any rate, Randolph was never expected to be back sooner than six to seven months.
We're just finishing the seventh month. He's obviously able to play, just not up to full strength, but then, like you mentioned, he was a fat and has never had the health or work ethic of Amare.
I want Amare to come back when he is ready to come back.
I am comfortable with Amare and the doctors deciding when.
I am not going to write off Amare's season becuse Webber or Randolph took longer to recover from their injuries.
Like I said earlier, anyone that says that they know for sure when that will be is lying or they don't know what they are talking about.
As much as I dislike his owner and his coach....I do like and respect Amare's game. I hope he can come back 100% no matter how long it takes.
Hopefully, he gets better.
"he has his future to look forward to."
We ALL are looking forward to his future.
Four months was never a realistic timeframe, but they had to sucker fans into buying season tix, and they wouldn't have if they said he was out for the year.
This may be a blessing in disguise for the young man. If his gifts are diminished, he may actually have to learn how to play the game of basketball. I know this will be heresy, but I've always thought that Amare = Darryl Dawkins : a basket full of snazzy dunks and points, and nothing else. He won't block your shot, or frankly, defend you in any other way, and if the rebound doesn't fall into his hand, he won't get it.
