Lol at you posting without getting the information.
B)Even if rest wouldn't help, it couldn't possibly hurt, which playing in a game could. Re-injuring the elbow while it's already hurt could be catastrophic.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

JWash wrote: View PostWell it hasn't been helping so maybe it was the wrong move. Clearly doing something that isn't working or helping is a bad idea and might have even caused the problem in the first place. Play that man.
Not helping is better than actively hurting.
Besides, what are we playing for at this point? We have a 6 game lead in the loss column with 9 games to go. We can go 3-6 the rest of the way and still probably get the 2nd seed.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

No, no, no one should worry about Lowry getting hurt playing so much, or not getting rest if he is hurt like last year, because that would just never happen...
The sad part is how predictable this has been all year.

This idea that Lowry is hurt because of playing a lot is just wrong.

The entire team was pretty yuck but if I have to watch Scola in the starting lineup much longer I'm gonna lose my mind. How a basketball mind like Casey can't see what an abomination our starting lineup is is beyond me.
I could really use some good news around this team... Well, Powell is looking good. Yay...
1. For the first time in a long time the East is wide open. Cleveland has come back to the pack a little bit and they get to sort out some locker room issues under the gaze of non stop coverage. No one in that Raptor locker room doesn't think they don't have a good chance to win the east. Over in the Cavs room a bunch of guys are wondering why their best player doesn't seem to think much about them.
2. The guy who stirs the drink is a little nicked up. However there is a couple of weeks till the curtain lifts on the NBA playoffs which is enough time to get right . Its not as if this is an MCL or ACL knee tear 2 weeks before the show starts.
3.Ross will be back soon and as much as we like to rip on him he gives the team a pretty consistent deep threat game in and game out. He is a credible third option on offense.
4.Outside of Carroll we have NO ONE that is IR hurt and on the shelf.
5.Norm Powell for a second round pick has evolved into more than a pleasant surprise and is going to really help on the defensive side of the ball during the spot minutes and situations he will get. during the post season.
6.JV and Biz provide good to very good production out of the 5 and its been consistent all year. No reason to think the Raps don't get that type of effort and output starting April 15.
7.PPats game was M.I.A. during the first half of the season has been found and he has been consistently playing well.
8.Unlike last year this team can play defense and it is markedly tougher physically and mentally than last years team.
9.As much as we all want Carroll back he really hasn't influenced this teams ascent up the standings to number 2 seeding. If he gets back he can only help. Its not a subtraction to what has been done by the existing rotations if he doesn't clear medically and is unable to return. If he does then in a 3 ball world its a pretty good one two three punch with wing defense with Carroll and Powell and Ross if he zones in.. JJ.

We are playing to stay motivated and in good rhythm for the playoffs and go in on a high. We need guys focused and ready to win, not sitting at home or watching from the bench.
He literally can't play much more than he has been.
If he rests, worst case scenario is he doesn't get better.
If he plays, worst case scenario is someone hits it, or he falls on it again, and his season is over.
This doesn't seem that complicated.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle
