Norton with two blocks?!

Must be the shoes.

Had this been a regular season game with these results, Lionel Love would have surpassed some former Blazers on the all-time scoring list.

Why is HA-HA being held out? It can only be injury or discipline either of which aren't good.

Exactly my question. wtf is going on with that? He might be our 2nd best player in terms of raw talent and he's not playing. What's going on? I assume it's not injury bc he was out there in the full uniform warming up with the team.

He would not be in Spain if he had discipline issues

Good point

So why is he warming up in full gear with the team if he's injured?

Are you insinuating that he's so bad that he doesn't deserve minutes over our walk on?

I'm assuming it has to be a discipline issue at this point. He's obviously not bad enough to not play, especially given our walk on is getting minutes. I also dog think he's injured, because why would he be out there in full gear warming up? Maybe he was late to practice or the team bus to the airport? Something relatively minor that didn't warrant keeping him home from Spain, but did warrant sitting him out some of these games..

Maybe he has the runs.

As far as the games, I'm really impressed with the numbers cokley and Madison are putting up. I saw something in Madison last year. He's definitely a Rucker 2.0; a Rucker with more talent, but that similar body type and knack for banging down low and getting rebounds. We really need Washington and brown to score a lot more for us to have any success this year. They have been kind of underwhelming so far. Washington somewhat reminds me of cam moore in that he can put up monster numbers, but seems somewhat timid and shy. He doesn't seem like the guy who's going to pick up the leadership role for us..

Might may be making too much of it. If he did have surgery a few weeks ago he could be being held out as a precaution so as to not aggravate the injury. Players have been known to dress, warm up, and not play and have it not be discipline-related...

What surgery did he have? I didn't know about that

I understand your point, but I hope you can understand mine, especially understanding I didn't know about any surgery. Players of his talent level don't rack up DNP-CDs without there being a damn good reason. Without knowing about a recent surgery, that leads one to suspect discipline. Especially if he's out there warming up with the team in full gear, which rules out most injuries (but not the "healing from a recent surgery" type of injury).

You do realize these games don't count, don't you? Stop acting like it is late February and we are a bubble team. I'm sure there is a good reason why he hasn't played.

Possibility mentioned in post 34

If you're not worried about our prized recruit not playing while every other available body is, you're being naive.

Not really worried because the season is 3 months away, he is able to warm up, and if it were serious he would have stayed home for treatment like Denzell...

I'm not freaking out, but it does have me a little concerned
