Media Day is here!!!

HUUUUUGE RED FLAG TIME:

Casey said Carroll still isn't 100%, will have his minutes monitored.

Casey said Sullinger will start. PP is the sixth man

Sounds like he expects big minutes for Pat still, so Sully will have to get a chunk of minutes at C.

Concerning. Hopefully with our wing depth we see him more along the lines of 24 MPG to start.

That sucks. If he can't get healthy in an entire off season that's really worrisome. Casey has been terrible at managing minutes. At least he has with Lowry. So I have no faith there either. Looks like we're going to have a gimp SF during the playoffs again. Ugh.

I'm withholding commentary on Carroll until the regular season starts. Will be very disappointing if we're talking about his knees again come January.....

Carroll says he's happy and there's been no swelling in his knee.

Carroll said he just started playing ball again last week, spent most of the summer rehabbing. Working his way back but no swelling in knee

DeMarre Carroll says no longer swelling in knee, just needs to strengthen it now. "I'll be 100% (eventually)."

These paint a picture more of having a cautious rehab schedule, which is a good thing. We'll see - I'm not panicking yet.

I had a feeling Demarre wasn't going to be 100% to start this season. Just from the way he was talking and how he said the doctors say injuries like his normally take about a year or so to heal. Also he's getting older so it takes longer for injuries to heal the older you get. Demarre says he thinks he will be 100% by the start of the regular season but then there is another quote of him saying he's confident he'll be 100% but he's just not sure when. So I have no clue what to believe.

[GLF]

Well the positive is we won't have to worry about Norman and Ross's minutes anymore lol. They both should be able to find minutes with Carroll still being on a minute restriction.

I say limit DeMarre in the preseason games to 15 - 20 minutes (if that)

I'm not going to panic until I see if can handle a regular season workload

After long offseason, those 15 minutes going to feel like 30 anyway.

That's what I say too. As long as he's ready for the first game of the regular season I'm good. But I don't know if 1 more month of rehab is and working out is enough to get him 100%. It really depends on how far off he is and if he has any setbacks, like if his knee starts swelling again.

[rocwell]

He did not get a haircut.

[GLF]

He did not get a haircut.

Oh no. Just great! lol. He looks better with his hair short anyway so I don't know why he wouldn't just cut it. Maybe he's gonna grow it really long hahaha
