Their deadness may have been overstated.

They just about doubled their point total for the entire quarter in the last minute.

They really need to do away with that idiotic segment.

I think we’re playing better with Birch in there than we would be with Bamba.

Until last night, we’ve not been good with first half leads. They must come out playing really hard to start the third. No over-confidence. We could very easily lose this.

That no call on the charge into Isaac almost as bad as the no call in the New Orleans NFL game.

They’re playing hard, even coming off the late back to back. I think Atlanta may have played yesterday also.

Fox sports app on the phone works pretty well I’ve been very satisfied with the picture.

You’re overgeneralizing from what admittedly sounds like a terrible personal experience. I’m not talking about community specialists here. The quality there is very uneven. I’m talking about the docs at the best tertiary centers, such as Mayo and others.

You underestimate them. These guys in the tertiary centers spend their careers dealing with difficult cases sent to them because other physicians are having difficulty. They’re trained to consider zebras because they see them regularly. People with subjective complaints that can’t be objectively verified can be difficult for any physician.

Of course not. But malpractice is a wild accusation in this circumstance. No one has a crystal ball, but the best doctors go through things very carefully and make an assessment based on all the data and their experience and reasoning. Not 100% accurate in a situation like this, where I suspect all the objective findings were normal, but the best process available. A far cry from lazy and incompetent doctors, as was being asserted above.

Supposedly sore knee. Mostly just resting their franchise guy in second night of a back to back

Who is Jefferson?

Milwaukee on second night of back to back. They got to be about ready to call it a night.

They’re ready to fold. A bit more pressure and we can get this.

It seems like he’s lost if he’s not the alpha playing a two man game with Vuch.

I like our guys attacking but they need to be sensible. Gordon had two guys on him and tried to go through both of them. Didn’t work.

Yep. Really a liability out there.

This business of people jumping into a defender and the defender getting called for the foul. I’d like to see that go away.

He was seen by Dr. Ben Kibler, Director of the Kentucky Shoulder Center, way back in late 2017. There were undoubtedly multiple other specialists also involved; that’s the way these things are always handled when you have careers at stake potentially worth tens of millions. You don’t have some GP make a diagnosis and then refuse to get another opinion because they might be embarrassed. Speculation about malpractice when you have some of the foremost experts in the field involved is just ridiculous. Neurogenic TOS is usually made without any objective evidence to support it, based on symptoms. It is what it is.

I think this is right. Second night of a back to back for them, best player not playing. They could give up on this one if we really take it to em.

A lot of good basketball minds don't think that the best way to develop young players is to just throw them out there and have them play big minutes. One could even argue that our young guys didn't develop properly (5-6 years ago when they were all young) because we did exactly that. When some of those players went to teams with good veterans, all of a sudden they blossomed. Many would argue that they need to earn PT, and be groomed properly. Look at how SVG handled JJ, for example.

Ouch. Apparently the game doesn't start until 9. Didn't realize it would be that late in Milwaukee.

Looks like ?FTW hit the nail on the head. We at least should have a chance now. This would be a truly great win if we can pull it off.

Professional sports teams with multi-million dollar athletes don't settle for lousy medical care. And University of Pennsylvania with their first rate medical specialists is right there. And if that's not enough, teams routinely fly athletes to whatever specialists are felt to be necessary, regardless of where they reside. This is not incompetent or lazy doctors. This is a player who's been looked at from every angle, imaged and tested extensively, and no one was able to come up with a definitive diagnosis. Thoracic outlet syndrome, since most of the time there's no objective testing for it, is the kind of diagnosis someone may get when nothing else turns up, and the doctor is reluctant to suggest a psychological issue. It might well be that the Fultz team shopped around until they found someone willing to give him a medical sounding diagnosis. Regardless, it's time to stop rehashing this. I'm very hopeful that with a much less stressful environment, much lower expectations, a better fit with teammates who won't hog the ball, and basically a new start, that whatever the problem was, it will improve.
