guys
seriously
relax.
his absence is not in violation of anything. it's "excused" and everyone who needs to know why, does.
and at a time like this, mentioning or even thinking the worst is. not. cool.
i know everyone is excited about the playoffs and want everything to be perfect, but if it aint perfect after 60whatever wins, 2-3 days aint gon fix it. let the man handle his business.
if it is meant to be, the games will be fine, the playoffs will be fine, and you'll have plenty of on-court stuff to obssess, theorize, and argue about.
