is this positive or negative lol I know nothing about these things

negative x-ray means the radiologist didn't find anything wrong in the scan.

They will be following up, likely tomorrow, with an MRI, seeing as these guys are worth millions of dollars.

If it were you or me, we'd wait about 3 months for an MRI.

We need to beat NY. For several reasons.

1.) We all hate NY, they are our nemesis.
2.) We get their draft pick, more losses equals better pick for us
3.) Set the win streak record
4.) Move one step closer to 1st in the East, the dream is real
5.) A repeat of reason 1, I hate the Knicks so fucking much

I like you.

Well, when I had torn wrist ligaments(~4 years ago), doc told me straight away after xrays. MRI was needed just to confirm it

you had a good doctor (or an obvious injury) then. my experience was that they wouldn't make any calls without as much imaging as possible.

Is this the fastest a raptor team has ever reached 30 wins?

Winning is fun.

possibly. even with the hot start last year, we didnt reach 30 wins until jan 27th, 2015.

I'm trying to find it.

In the meanwhile, theres this from from Michael Grange:

Why/how would the reporter know he was or wasn't favouring a wrist...? Team circle jerk after the win?

I think the franchise record is a big deal. It's a great notch on the belt. I don't hate New York (but there are players and teams I dislike). But the other reasons are perfectly valid to me. And giving your coach a chance at the All Star spot, too. Some members may not like this. But I sure hope the players feel this way - even if Casey gets fired next week, and we're getting Popovich - it's still what you'd want ...

Or I dunno, he looked at him?

Or I dunno, he looked at him?

In what context do you just go about your day, favoring one wrist over the other?

If he was shooting or hand-writing a letter then I'd get it but...

I want to beat them to keep their current slump going. Gotta love reason number 2, and I think if Melo misses some time and the East being so competitive, they can maybe drop to one of the last 3-4 spots in the conference.

I wonder if wright would still get any playing time? More likely derozan would just share ball handling duties with Cory, maybe a sprinkling of powell/ross.

At a guess, I think he'd play. Good opportunity to see what he's got, he's a mature guy who's been playing quite a bit and less messing with everyone's roles. Like Bebe did when JV was out.

Well if something was broken or badly strained, sprained, torn etc, I'm sure people within an eyes view would notice you are in discomfort, trying not to move it, or if it was very bad you probably wouldn't even be hanging around post game at all.

That's why our chemistry is so good. These guys really like each other.

You clearly don't know who I am!

Nice win. They really made it tough for a while, but couldn't hang with us. Very cool.
