How's Lowry's wrist? "I'm fine". Would he tell us if he wasn't? "No, I wouldn't"

which is why you get the MRI done in the morning....

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.

Except if he doesn't want it to get out that the injury might be worse than he's saying, he'd be consciously avoiding doing anything that makes it look like he's favoring it.

He had no ice on the wrist either

If I was coaching the Knicks, I would give whoever is guarding Lowry on Thursday instructions to make him drive right every time, so he has to dribble with his left hand. Find out how good the wrist is, if he's playing.

guys, we're not going to make an accurate diagnosis via twitter.

The raps aren't going to be able to hide his condition for long if it's serious (nor would they really benefit).

I would be surprised if he plays.

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

This year, they are the equivalent of genital warts, can't get rid of these fuckers easily. Our team expects this team like Magic, you know you can beat them, but they fucking can't go away unless you totally shut them down with the best defense.

Porzingis scares the shit out of me, honestly. Who the hell on our team can guard him?

This. It's a different scenario than with Carroll, where it was something deep in his knee that nobody thought much of at the time. It didn't show in his walk.

Your starting point guard can't hide an unplayable left arm.

I would be surprised if he plays.

I wouldn't be surprised either way. Sounds to me like you've got a "hunch" ... no more.

What if he tweets it then says "an unnamed source" told him he'd be surprised if lowry plays. Does he become believable?

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

your doc must carry good insurance ... and he did eventually send you for the soft tissue pics to make sure...

as i said.. kyle can have an MRI in the morning and not have to wait like most everyone else....

[KHD]

eh well he/she still ordered the follow up MRI so can't be that confident. lol.

he can't guard our guys either

The scary thing about Carroll's situation is it shows a willingness with our coaching staff to ignore medical recommendations.

This is true. I'm hoping they have learned from that and so has Kyle. If Kyle cant play I hope he just keeps it real. And I hope if the medical team says he should take time off Casey doesnt just ignore them. But the Carroll situation doesnt give me much hope with that.
