Brad not back for the first round?

[N.U.F.A.N.]

Well i'm watching NBA nation, and they mentioned that Brad might not even be back for the first round.

 

[iheartBrad]

That IS true

 

[N.U.F.A.N.]

but i remember him saying that he was gonna be there for game one... i dont know what to believe... ESPN, or Brad himself.

 

[M10Bibby]

what?! =X

 

[chelle]

I think Adleman has already said that he was not going to play Brad the first games of the playoffs, but I do not think they have totally ruled out the entire first round.

 

[BK_KingsFan]

Well, there goes our playoff hopes

 

[bojan_pecanac]

Didn't he say he was gonna play in the first game? This sucks.

 

[chelle]

Don't panic. Remember, NO roster is final until the tip and NO round is over until we lose four games. DON'T PANIC!!!

 

[AriesMar27]

^^^^^^we had playoff hopes?

 

[chelle]

Yes, we have hope until we are sent "fishing!"

 

[HndsmCelt]

Brad says he will play... the medical staff say not yet... the press prefers bad news... the coaching staff want a win but NOT at the cost of a young player's leg. I get a gut felling that Brad will be back before the first round is over, espcialy if the Kings are struggeling.

 

[M10Bibby]

I thought so..b4 peja got hurt....things were looking up...bobby and brad coming back...now its a big question mark..Kings will find a way...

 

[N.U.F.A.N.]

Just be glad we have skinner and thomas to fill his shoes.

EXACTLY.

A lot of other players around the league are going through the same thing...like Marcus Camby with his strained hamstring...Denver coach/training staff don't want him to play if he's still feeling any pain...Marcus Camby's response "I will be playing even if I have to go into that medicine cabinet and find something to help me through it I will be playing"....I'm sure Brad would say pretty much the same thing...in the end...the coaches and training staff will get their way..unless the turnip'd party can prove to them they are moving well and all that good stuff

That's it. If we want to go anywhere in the playoffs Adelman MUST start playing Ostertag. And enough with that 4 minutes a game bull****. He needs to get 15-25 minutes at least. Especially when the Sonics have guys like Evans and Fortson.

I remember someone mentioning that at the game vs. the Jazz, whenever Tag got in, they got back into the game.

thats if he doesnt get tired after 10 minutes of up and down the floor. BUT, he does bring a good wide body to battle against sonics bigs and a shot blocking presence.

 

[BK_KingsFan]

Yup, that's how it always is. Whenever were getting killed in the paint Tag comes in and suddenly they can't even get in the paint . Remember when we played the Cavs last time. They kept scoring in the post, then Tag comes in and single-handedly turns the game around for us. Even Walton said that.

Well, I heard that he's been working out and losing a few pounds lately.

 

[N.U.F.A.N.]

too bad Adelman isnt reading this right now

 

[BK_KingsFan]

Yea too bad, but what really pisses me off is that you would think that he would have figured it out by now. There must be something else to it. Maybe he has a personal vendetta with him ::sigh::

 

[teamdimechampionship]

I really don't think Tag is capable of playing 20-25 minutes a game. We need him for a few minutes in the 1st half and then give him a long run in the 4th quarter.

 

[VF21]

OMG - Dudes and dudettes!

DO NOT TRUST ESPN for up-to-date Kings information.

...sigh...

If we have Brad in the first round, we have him in the first round. If not, we don't. It's not like panicking in the streets is going to change anything.

 

[Vlad]

I actually think that Skinner and Thomas match up very well with Fortson and Evans. I really like the Kings chances even without Brad playing. If Peja is back, and Radman stays out, I like the Kings chances even more.

 

[Folsom Al]

I just heard the same thing .... my source has been pretty reliable.

I don't wanna believe it, but down in my gut .... I do.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, I heard that he's been working out and losing a few pounds lately.

In the Utah game and, in fact, the last couple of games he has played, he has looked much better and in better shape.

 

[piksi]

Even Walton said that.

And there goes Your credibility.

 

[VF21]

We'll know for sure on Saturday. Anything we hear before then is speculation. After everything that's happened this year, I won't believe another rumor, reliable or not. I'm going to wait and see who trots on to the court in Seattle - and THEN think about whether or not I can believe my own eyes.

It's not?

Damn, VF, you could have told me that before my neighbors called the cops on me.
