Josh is out "indefinitely"

In other news, it’s less than a week before December 15th.

by ptrck on Dec 9, 2008 7:02 PM CST reply actions  

I've heard/read theories that...

Josh isn’t really injured and that they are preserving him since he’ll be traded.

I don't want to believe it, but...

I have no doubt that he was and probably still is a little injured. But Josh has played through several sprained ankles before in the past so I can’t help but find this very suspicious.

by ptrck on Dec 9, 2008 7:40 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't want to believe it either

Since it seems kind of shady or whatever…but I didn’t even see this injury happening and now it’s so severe that he’s out indefinitely?

Bad news.

Here’s the DMN blurb from Carlisle’s pregame press conference.

Good news is that we should see Wright tonight.

I’m not linking them here, but many of the late lines show DAL favored by 2.

Hmm.

I’m gonna go with a SA win. I hope I’m wrong but, JJ can’t keep it up forever and I think the J-Ho news is gonna effect them because they probably thought he’d be out there today. Always a good game when they play.

Screw the Spurs.

Fire Todd Dodge. Seriously. 45 given up in the 1st quarter. Wow. But still we're better than Washington! Oh and, SUCK IT WESTERN KENTUCKY! 1-10 baby!

It’s pretty bad. They had Tim MacMahon on a segment about sports blogs, wherein one of the hosts used the word ‘blog’ about 50 times in 3 minutes. MacMahon sounded more like a host than either of those two.

I still get physically sick everytime Mike scores on us.

That three he made in Game 4 of the 06 playoffs was a real gut-punch.

Dirk should have drove at the end of the 1st OT instead of taking the 3. I had a problem with that.

Terry had 9 boards?! Also, Dirk went 0-6 from 3. He makes at least 2 it would have been a different ballgame. Oh well. I’ve calmed down now.

son of bitch

spurs fans are the most annoying group of people alive…. i had to bottle alot of my emotions in so i accidentally wouldnt get in a damn fight… i freaking hate them!

great game.. obviously wish we could have won…. we just kept having to battle back… tied it late, had to come back in OT 1, couldnt hold our 1 lead in OT 2…. very disappointing…

never felt confident either… i just had a bad feeling from the 2nd quarter on… it was probably mainly just my defense mechanism to prepare for the worst…

crowd was awesome late int he game and in to OT… it was a playoff atmosphere for sure…

f the spurs and its too damn cold here

probably goin on thursday as well… just depends… the guy i know who gets me on tv had to make an emergency trip to thehospital with his wife prior to the game tonight… not srue what the deal was but i hope everything is ok… and if everything is ok ill be there on thursday and i will have some postgame pics with dirk for all to enjoy… will explain later…
