    What kind of timetable is something like that?

  2. Hoping for a speedy recovery for Ant.

    Starting of the Sharpe era is upon us.

  3. 4-6 week recovery supposedly. If we say 6 weeks that takes you to about the start of April. Which at that point we’d have 5 games left.

    Could have been a grade 3 and a multiple month timetable so although this is bad news it could have been much worse.

    Get well ant.

    Get READY Shaedon

  6. Damezang

    I guess it could be way worse. Billups is going to have to be creative. Hopefully everybody else should be healthy when we come back. Getting Nurk, Grant, and Winslow back will be huge at least. Everybody else needs to step up. I could see Winslow getting more time running the second unit if he’s ready to play.

    Glad it’s nothing more serious than that.

    That said… I really didn’t like the way he was playing of late and was beginning to have serious doubts about his role in the franchise’s future. Maybe this injury time will allow some other guards to show what they can do as well as being a good opportunity for Anfernee to mentally readjust.

    I mean, I know we should start Sharpe at the 2, but maybe they want to experiment with Thybulle starting at the 2 to see what a defensive minded guard in the starting lineup next to Dame looks like.

    Justise has yet to return from a grade 2 sprain in late December. So, adjust your expectations accordingly.

    Give ant a mountain of tape on defense and distribution. Hopefully he comes back a Jedi.

    T minus 2 weeks until Dame is “hurt”

  12. PM_ME_UR_SKILLS

    I think people need to stop using language like “if we tank” because ready or not, here comes Cancun.

    The bright side: we shouldn’t be expecting to make the playoffs anyways. Now Cam and Matisse can get a lot of run with the starting unit, and Shaedon can get more playing time.

    Dame with Cam, Matisse, Grant and Nurk/Eubanks should be interesting since that should arguably be the best defensive support he’s had. He can run pick and roll with Nurk/Eubanks and Grant can cook as well. Fans should start acknowledging soon that a future that includes tripe competing with Dame includes trading Anfernee.

    Dame, Sharpe, Thybulle, Grant, Nurk.
