We need to FINALLY win it and then they need to do away with the 1-14 lotto. At most it should be 1-5, 6-10,11-14 or something similar. We are BEYOND overdue for one.

So this does worry me. Does he have bad ligaments? The guy may just be fragile. Ugh.

Well, that's really concerning. It's also infuriating. If Flip knew this was the case, why the hell didn't he go out and get another PG? It's been obvious for weeks now that LaVine isn't a PG and Mo Williams is starting to be run into the ground. That was tolerable back in the good old days when we all thought Ricky would be back shortly after Christmas. But if Flip knew it was a much worse injury situation and he's out indefinitely, than why the hell didn't he do something about it?

God, I'm frustrated with this team! Sorry for all the ranting.

This was his excuse to tank. I believe that has to be the only explanation.

I think Flip wanted to tank all along but knew if he said so he'd risk running everyone out of the building. Now with this news, nobody's gonna go to anymore games.

I don't see us winning it. I do think we will be in the top five after the lottery though. Don't see us finishing better than 4th worst record, and likely in the bottom two.

Yeah, we should end up with a good pick.

This has me worried about Ricky's future too. That's 2 major injuries in his short career. Now I'm not so sure if he's our future starting point guard. Oh wait, we have him signed for 4 more years, another Pek situation. So I guess we're stuck with him too.

God help us, this franchise is cursed (optimism slowly waning).

Am I the only one that isnt worried about Ricky? That was a nasty freak ankle sprain. I think he should be fine.

I just wish he would take a summer off.
