So now it is being reported that JR played with fluid build up during the playoffs.

My question is after he got suspended why not use the 4 or 5 days in between to drain the fluid and let him rest? What is wrong with this staff?

You do realize that Mri's are normally requested by the player, unless it's an actual injury.

You a Dr.?

Maybe its the MSG propganda machine doing damage control?

He looked great until he got supsended. Melo was say was in pain. JR got fluid on his brain.

Unfortunately, they found that the fluid build up was made of vodka, rum and gin.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Just kidding. Yeah, I feel bad for JR. I can see how this impacted his game. Still, it's no excuse. These guys being tough guys by not speaking up if they have injuries really cost us. You can't shoot your way out of an injury. He should've had his minutes reduced and gotten some treatment.

Another player who chucked and chucked and chucked....Now when he talked to the press he simply said he let the team down and didn't play well. Not sure why we're holding these reports tight like a pinkie.

There are many players not playing at full strength right now, we can't keep looking for an out. We lost plain and simple...time to move on and see if Grunny can turn Water into Wine.
