D12 out indefinitely...Ouch on all fronts!!!
Asking price just went down tremendously ..Hello Brooklyn !!!
Would've loved to be the team to play Orlando!
Maybe now we can stop riding Stat so hard as far as his supposed vulnerabilities. If it can happen to Superman, it can happen to anyone. And Stat takes good care of his body.
Could be done for regular season..............6th seed here we come.
Wow. Maybe signing that 1 year extension turned out to be a good thing for Dwight.
Are you sure it wont be healed soon as Van Gundy is fired
wow.
again, i think we can catch Orlando. we're only three games behind them and own the tiebreaker over them:
Orlando schedule
Sun, Apr 15 @Cleveland
Mon, Apr 16 Philadelphia
Wed, Apr 18 @Boston
Sat, Apr 21 @Utah
Sun, Apr 22 @Denver
Wed, Apr 25 Charlotte
Thu, Apr 26 @Memphis
Knicks schedule
Sun, Apr 15 Miami
Tue, Apr 17 Boston
Wed, Apr 18 @New Jersey
Fri, Apr 20 @Cleveland
Sun, Apr 22 @Atlanta
Wed, Apr 25 Los Angeles Clips
Thu, Apr 26 @Charlotte
I've been there, had that, so I can't be happy about it happening to him... but I am looking forward to seeing the Knicks scooping up that 6 spot.
I'm still overjoyed that the Nets didn't get Dwight, because I don't want to see those chumps get anyone significant. Even with a bad back, Dwight's still a marketable player. Let him stay in Orlando and recuperate while watching the Magic drop in playoff seeding. Knicks have the tiebreaker on them, too.

He might as well extend all the way with Orlando now. I hope he does.

Good point
According to the story:
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/magics-dwig...
it only seems to have been spotted when he went for a second opinion in LA- up until then, the Magic were saying there was no structural damage. So either he's lying about it or the Magic medical staff are atrocious. I think probably the latter. The timing of it is weird though- started flaring up when all the SVG stuff was happening.

I find it odd that herniated disc would be missed by the team medical staff. That's beyond ridiculous.
I was thinking we needed to win 6 of last 7 to move up to 6th seed. Without Dwight, the Magic are worse than mediocre. It's possible they collapse and only take 2 of their last 7, in which case we need 5 of 7, which I could easily see happening. Still would have to say the odds are against us moving up, but it's no longer a total longshot. If we can beat Miami, things will get very interesting.
Is herniated disc the new "resting for a run in the playoffs" injury or are these legit? I hope its resting for Stat/Howard because they should both have some good years left in the tank.
I would lean towards Amare having the real deal injury and Dwight resting or throwing some kind of tantrum about Van Gundy.
Medical staff don't miss bulging disc.
This is either shutting down because of gundy or for playoffs.
It's a false flag operation!

LOL at Howard pulling a Vince Carter. Dude is trying to force his way to the Nets.
LOL at the doctors missing a HERNIATED DISC. 
Perfect excuse for Howard they cant prove his back isn't hurting. 
Shutting Dwight down for playoffs is a terrible idea from an organizational standpoint. Falling to a 7 can potentially cost millions.
Now if the Knicks are threatening to usurp the 6 and Dwight is suddenly cleared to play, then I would agree w/false flag.

Orlando isnt shutting Dwight down. They dont need to create phantom injures to sit him.
Dwight Howard is shutting Dwight down.
Amare's bad back is worse because in order to minimize injury risk he gained weight by adding muscle. Sadly Amare at the higher weight is nowhere near worth 20 million per year.
Howard can add weight and still be effective because he doesn't rely on speed.

We should absolutely win the New Jersey, Cleveland, and Charlotte games (just need to show up and not play down to them). I'd hope we can split the four games between Miami, Boston, Clips, and Hawks. All down hill after the next two games. 5-2 is my goal.
