Danny says JO should play next Thursday at San Antonio

[BASS_THUMPER]

we got it goin on..i hope we realize that..think of the options we have with everyone healthy and play off ready...

kristic is playin great ball too

The fact that Shaq had a cortisone shot and is back in a boot is clearly not a good  situatioIght he is still bothered by Achilles pain after two months, it is not going away.  Sure, he will play in the playoffs, but he will not be the Shaq we saw earlier in the year, but the Shaq we saw near the end of his active period when he was a human foul machine who could barely jump high enough to dunk the ball.  This is all very depressing. No Shaq = no 18.

Team might as well just give up in the first round that way we can rest our starters for half the year and get ready for 2012.

The Lebron strategy?

JO on a recovering leg is better then a healthy Krstic.

Krstics lack of defense is really aggrivating, I would rather have JO score 0 points, but provide excellent interior defense and shot blocking then have Krstic out there.

I cant take much more off seeing Krstic on the court, its bad for my health.

Is Jermaine 40lbs overweight in lifelong rehab better than a healthy Krstic?

These fantasyland scenarios that bring somebody who plays when he feels like playing suddenly becoming a vital cog on this team is loco.

Your disdain for some players like LeBron, Nash and Jermaine is crystal clear...but the fact remains that a healthy JO (and he is getting there very soon) is a vital piece to the puzzle called Banner 18...refusing to acknowledge that is "loco".

And he has lost 12 pounds during this rehab...where did you come with "40 pounds" overweight? Is it your blind hatred that packs on the pounds on the players you don't like?

I'm mad at JO for missing all these games too...but I also know that when healthy he is a darn good presence on the defensive end.

Agreed even JO in his limited playing time this year was I'd say decent to solid on the defensive end. Definitely Perk-ish you can say brings some of the things Perk does.
