Doesn't mean he will be effective.

I'll be surprised if he can shoot like normal.

Gotta love that by his father!

Hamilton said he talked to his father Thursday, and his dad simply told him to "spit" on it.

"This is now or never," Hamilton said. "Usually when you talk to your dad he is like take your time son. But he said spit on it. You are at war right now. You ain't got no choice.

He'll be fine.
Yup

"Spit on it" brings me back to high school football.  Awesome stuff.

At least one member of the Hamilton family isn't a prima donna sissy.  I bet Hamilton the Elder wouldn't be flopping all over the court like he'd been shot, either.

Wow.  He went from having his arm in a sling, to ready to plan 36 hours later.  No wonder they've had the same trainer for the past 20+ years.  He's a miracle worker.  8)

I would send in big baby to give him a good solid hit on that elbow tonight. It is his shooting arm so you can do it while going for the ball. You gotta do whatever it takes to win tonight because the pistons would do the same if they could. In the playoffs it has to be "do onto others before they do onto you."

Rip has shot over 57% from the field the last 3 games and averaged 24 PPG in the last 4 (53% from the field).

I got to believe that his shooting will be affected.

Game plan. Set double picks for Ray Allen until Rip's arm falls off.

Same with me Roy. Cut yourself, sprain a knee or an ankle, jam a finger and it was like "Spit ont it and rub it in and get the hell back out on the field."

Ahhh, memories.

Two words: cortisone shot. Expect Rip to be just fine.

I'm sure Rip's arm will be strong enough to allow him to raise his arms incredulously and whine to the officials for 48 minutes.

But will his ability to clutch, grab, and choke Ray Allen be restricted?

Lol! That is how he injured his arm in the first place! TP for you!
