WELL who does in your opinion guns? The clippers are pretty much a young team,. I mean their core is.. they are playing a very good memphis team, both teams are very different, but equally matched. I said this before that blake griffin has to add more to his game than just jumping over everyone, I said this from day one... He has the time to do this, kid is still very young, as is jordan, it is a progression, heck after 10 seasons, knicks fans are hoping certain player will change as well..

I would not change much with the clippers if they lose this series, the grizz are very good... no shame in losing to them...

If Clips lose, any chance they take a flyer on Phil Jackson? He will be in LA and Clips have all the parts.

good point..

they don't have the parts to run the triangle offense.

I read somewhere that aparantly Griffin and Deandre Jordan have started tiring of CP3s heavy handed 'leadership' approach- guess he's (rightly) constantly critical of them.

Still, he can chose which coach he wants- Del Negro has to go, he's awful- what other coach jumps out at the opposing teams 3pt shooter to try and scare them?!

I'd be suspicious if I were CP3- can you really trust the clippers to make the right moves in the years ahead?

But then again, where could be go that has a better team in place and can pay him the max? Rockets? Also I think superstars kind of lessen their 'brand' or image if they keep changing team.

Danilo Gallinari underwent surgery to repair meniscus in his left knee on Monday and will undergo an additional procedure at a later date to fix his ACL.

Gallinari will undergo rehab on his knee before a date is scheduled to repair his ACL.

Gallinari was hurt on April 4.

What's the logic behind it? Think Shump had both done at the same time, while Rose had his op put off for a few weeks until the swelling went down and he'd done some rehab. Never heard of them fixing the meniscus and the. Leaving the ACL til a few weeks later.

I think the Knugg's don't have a "go to surgeon" so they have to operate via the depth on the hospital roster. really quite effective actually!

If phil don't have Kobe or Michael, then he don't have the parts??

Kobe and Michael were all star players, but the triangle via Phil made them HOF multiple bling legends!

They do need to make changes. Clipper minus Chris Paul couldnt even make the playoffs. Chris Paul has knee issues and he isn't getting any younger. I expect changes in their front court since Jordan nor Blake can make a dam free throw.

They need an upgrade at the 2 and 3 spots. Billups and Butler are pretty much done....

Gallo can't afford Dr. James Andrews??? Dude's the best in the business! If I'm a high profile athlete or athletic trainer, I have him on speed dial.

Doesn't Gallo make like $10-$11 mill a year?

Dumbass.

Seriously, you know which procedure and how it should be done? The rep of the doc he is using?

Look up Dr Richard steadman. This guy has a great rep. If you need a starphuch reference, Kobe used this guy 9 years ago, which is why he was in Vail.

I don't think its money. Guy is also near Denver.

Ehh, I'd want the guy that allowed Adrian Peterson to have arguably the greatest running back season in history, less than 1 year removed from tearing up his knee.

He also has RGIII on pace to start the season after operating.

He allowed Chad Pennington to win comeback player of the year.

Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Brett Favre, Jack Nicklaus, Roger Clemens, Drew Brees

All of these athletes were patients of his, and they excelled or gotten better after surgery.

If I were Gallo, I'd want to jump on his operating table, and I'd jump on it yesterday.

According to some literature....

meniscus repairs done concurrently with ACL reconstruction have higher rates of repeat surgery.

good find andrew.....seems like they are trying to make sure that knee is as strong as possible.....
