look, i get that danny didnt have the best track record with injuries for shaq/kg
but, all evidence is they are being cautious with peitrus. they know his Knee swelled up about 2 weeks ago when he practiced for the raptors when that trade was denied. and he is someone we need for the long haul with green out.. so im not too leery
last thing we need is to rush him back and have his knee act up and miss more games
Don't forget, Danny also said that Green's issue was minor and not something of major concern.
well, originally thats what they thought that it was probably nothing. but further tests obviously confirmed it was something major.
for all we bash danny for getting injuries wrong, he said Perkins would return mid january...and he did just on time
and he said Delonte west would be out 3months..and he came back..just on time.
he said kg would be out 2-3 weeks with the strained calf last year...and KG came back just on time..
i wont be surprised at all if/when pietrus comes back within the next 2 weeks..but fans will never remember the injuries they got right
Good points Cman. Like anything else, we remember what went wrong easier than we remember what went right. For every misspeak, miscalculation, or diplomatic avoidance Danny makes, he needs 10 positives to make up for them. He was off on Shaq's injury for sure, and he denies 'shopping' his players when we know he's actively out there pursuing, but his general dishonesty is exagerated.
