Missing #24

[KP]

I knew this would happen, Bobby historically is the only King who when he has been out for prolonged periods, we have trouble winning without. Were 4 and 4 since he's been out, even losing 2 out of 3 at home. Look I love Kevin and Maurice as much as all of you guys, They are really doing a good job. But they are not Bobby. I said when Bobby went down that it would be unfair to expect anyone on our bench to replace him. Maurice has shown he has tremendous heart and athleticism, But Bobby has both of those too... +experience. You can Blame this guy or that guy, or even coaching for the last 8 games but we all knew 1 injury would really hurt this team. I just gotta have faith that Petrie made the right decision picking up House. I'm praying that he can fit in quickly and give us some energy. Mike looked like he was ready to drop in that last road game, only his extreme will to win woke him up at the end there, We need a consistant backup PG fast. GO House!!! we need you...

yeah we all sort of figured that out in the playoffs....

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Makes me wish we could push fast forward to March/April and get him back, already

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

but the good thing is that we spawned a decent rotation off the bench because of this with Evans and Martin...but who knows what RA will do once he gets Bobby back

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Special K and Evans would have to play REEEAAALLLLY good to make the rotation once bjax is back. Which is fine, because bjax is a darn fine player.

Yeah but hopefully we can hold it down and this will end up being a blessing in disguise.

Being the optimist I am, that's what I'm thinking will happen. With Bjax out, it can definately makes our bench stronger as guys like Evans, Martin, House and Barnes get more time on the floor.

 

[AriesMar27]

yeah... they'll get some experience for when the playoffs come around... we're gonna need that for dallas and phoenix.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Depending on how quick Bobby gets well and how rustey he is once he does, Evans/Barnse/Martin may be needed for play off duty as well. At this point if I were Adleman I would act as if Bobby were gone for the season, and be pleasently supprised with what ever I get from him when ever he gets back.

I think only Evans and Martin....Barnes hadn't played since mid-december i think....

I don't know about House...why he didn't play at NO?

In NO House had been with the team less than 48 hours, not long enough to parctice, study the paly book or even have a jersy printed. Expect to see him a little Tuesday against Denver and probably even more against the Jazz on Thursday.

Actually, I'm kind of glad this injury is early enough so that he can come back and be ready for the playoffs. Hopefully, the others will stay healthy as well.

 

[VF21]

Unfortunately, I don't know if we can assume he'll be "back and ready for the playoffs." If he is supposed to wait 8 weeks before beginning rehab, and rehab last 8 weeks, that already puts him into the playoff time frame.

I'm just keeping my fingers and toes crossed that since it's his off-hand his shooting will not be too rusty.

 

[sloter]

I thought Bobby was out for 3 months ?

I thought Bobby was out for 3 months ?

Got reported as 16 weeks immediately after the surgery -- puts him back mid to late April.
