Gotta let swelling subside to make any determination. If we can knock out the blazers, G1 would be Sunday. They said 48 hours on the swelling. Then he would be fitted for a mask. See what happens after that. I'm not optimistic.

Yeah from what I've read, I'm not holding my breath. Losing tonight (ducks quickly) may not be worst case, give him a little more time. Grasping for straws.

I love how national media is lamenting the Cavs losing Love (the guy they've been ripping all year) while acting like Mike Conley is less of a loss for his respective team.

Mike is the team
I think we'll scratch past Portland cause they suck but GSW will eviscerate us without a close to 100% Conley

also we all know I'm not the biggest Bet fan, but not playing him is moronic. If he isn't going to be in the lineup he needs to be playing everyday in Gwinnett.

Especially when it's a scrub taking his place.. Dude is awful behind the plate and doing his best Chris Johnson (babip) impression from a few years back hitting wise.

Fredi has always been the worst at handling young guys... They aren't gaining any confidence (or experience) when you give up on them after a week...

If he was going to have such a short hook, why bring him up to the parent club out of spring camp? Commit, and deal with it. Give him every chance to sink or swim. I mean do they really think teams will be beating down the door for 38 year old AJP at the deadline? It makes zero sense, its not like we are a contender. Kids are going to skid, burying them on the bench is crushing for development.

I am horrified at the thought of Fredi managing our young bats on the farm when they get the nod. Dude benched the top prospect in baseball for a career minor league slap hitter.

Still don't understand what looting in Baltimore accomplishes. I understand why people would be upset, but that doesn't accomplish anything

People have been rioting and looting and burning down their own neighborhoods for thousands of years. Mob mentality is completely irrational.

I genuinely get why people are upset. Instead of robbing the Walgreen's and liquor store for a fifth and some Dorito's, why doesn't someone work their ass off and become a great cop (shoutout to GWN). If people think they're getting screwed by the government, work your ass off and become a senator and do something about it. I know there's obviously more that factors in, but I think the point came across wel enough. I get riots are almost unavoidable and always happen, I just don't see why that isn't the message

I thinks it's an engrained thing over countless years. I don't know if we can understand it fully.

Black people aren't given the opportunities whites are, I think that's a given. Add in the poverty factor, and the only way out is through crime and violence.

Oh, I made my point. I know this convo is a slippery slope. I'm just saying it would make more sense to be the change you want instead of looting. I get that it is a complicated process though. I'm out on the rest of this convo haha
