Ankle injuries are more prominent among NBA players than they are NFL players. Reason being NBA players place more emphasis on their feet and ankles when it comes to cutting but NFL players hold a low base in a squat position which is why knee injuries happen more for NFL players than NBA players.
it'll be odd to watch a mediocre bulls team tonight
after having been spoiled the last 3 years. but i have a feeling thibs’ discipline will make this team overachieve. and good luck to our bench guys who will be seeing serious minutes. it can only help us as the season progresses
mediocre? this almost the same bulls team the past few nights. yeah, its without taj, but i think this team is good enough to trash teams like the bobcats
Season of attrition. Hope they take it easy with Taj as well. Can Butler play the 4 at all?
BlackStar - January 21, 2012
Someone tweeted that Taj has a high ankle sprain
Anyone know if that’s as bad for basketball players as it is for football?
Juiceboxjerry - January 21, 2012
bad.
not sure how long it last, but the big issue is its easy to re-injure.
hedonism bot - January 21, 2012
no ligament damage though...
these injuries tend to be worse for football players.
Geo4MVP - January 21, 2012
it can be worse

Is Scalabrine the backup power forward now?
bobslob - January 21, 2012
I guess Rick James is the back up pg.
This game could be ugly. Good thing it’s Charlotte at home.
bobslob - January 21, 2012
Fuck yo couch
Stay Chisel - January 21, 2012
Yeah, but I would think Thibs would opt for a smaller lineup with Lu at pf
Juiceboxjerry - January 21, 2012

holla8283 - January 21, 2012

hedonism bot - January 21, 2012
our depth is getting hurt now.
This is getting ridiculous for sure.
bobslob - January 21, 2012
dude, the bulsl are not alone
injuries are gonna happen throughout this whole season.
Geo4MVP - January 21, 2012
As an example:
So yeah, this season has been a mess
Juiceboxjerry - January 21, 2012
it would have been a great one to do, with boris and tyrus (not playing) and mj… way too busy… can’t even watch tonight!

The Final Word on Cleveland
Their paper posted a “best-of” list and the coter’s choice for best bakery was a Panera or something like that.
Cleveland sucks so hard now that LeBron left and put good bakeries out of business.

Damnit. Voter's = coter's

SRQman - January 21, 2012
my fam is going to that, actually
they’re taking a trip down there… i was invited but i declined for a number of reasons
Jaina - January 21, 2012
It's all meant to happen
Thibs will finally realize Jimmy Butler is worth more than garbage minutes.
abock15 - January 21, 2012
True that
I’m curious to see him in non-garbage time performance.
FAQ - January 21, 2012 via mobile
he played well in pre-season too against IND (what pre-season there was to play)
walterfan34 - January 21, 2012
Oh man they just
showed Taj injuring his ankle last night. OUCH!
sue369 - January 21, 2012
whoops.
I just haven’t been caring about things. Oh well. Maybe will do game preview of other game later.
