Game 57 - Cleveland Cavaliers 97 - Toronto Raptors 99

Ugh! That Carroll comment is horrible. Why wouldn't the organization just come out and say that? Something about how hush hush they are on the whole Carroll thing seems fishy. Im hearing whispers of more and more ppl kind of saying he might not even be back for the playoffs and I ignored it at first. If lowe is now saying it I'm starting to get worried. We cannot win in the playoffs without him.

I think that it's possible the organization doesn't trust Carroll/Casey on Carroll's health, after what happened the last time he came back. So they don't want to rush him back at all, for fear that he'll go back to 30+ minutes right away and risk re-injury again.

In November he missed 3 games, then played 33, 36, 39 minutes in the next 3 games.

In January they took it slower, but still.

I hope you're right. But too many people are hinting to him not coming back for the playoffs which is worrisome. Was his surgery or injury even THAT serious. Like I swear they just cleaned out his knee that's it. And we suppoesdly have such a good medical staff. I understand why is would take him that much longer than 8 weeks to get back. But I also dont want them to rush him back. Idunno man

Windhorst did interview with Blundell and he basically said anytime it's a knee it'll take long time for player to recover. Basically even if we get Carroll before playoffs he's not gonna be 100%.

My games start at 530 mountain which I find ideal. Especially when your get west coast trip games and they start at 8 or 830 instead of running well past midnight

Yeah, I love the early game-times, but then I work from home which makes it easy. Just turn on the game, make a dinner we can eat on the couch, and watch the game with the family. Much easier to indoctrinate your kids when they can watch the whole game before their bedtime.

Plus we get to watch steph and the globetrott- I mean warriors while the east coasters are sleeping

Let's just break all our records

Having a hard time finding out exactly what the issue with Carroll's knee is. That makes a huge difference in recovery time and how much recovery to expect.

Dwane Casey is late. Stuck in traffic. I, for one, can't believe it.

This is hilarious. Maybe Kalamian can take over for the night, and start Patterson.
