My comment in one picture...

Early reports are that Pek is out 7-10 days with that quad injury. Shved didn't practice today and is questionable for tomorrow's game. I'd be surprised if he played, that looked like a pretty nasty rolled ankle.

I haven't been watching games recently but rubio's box scores don't look that good. Is he just not fully back to full strength? Or is nobody making shots so the assists are down? I assumed his shot would struggle for a while but his other stats aren't up yet, what's going on?

He's just not playing well. Part of it is the knee. He looks really hesitant to go full speed. I have no idea what is wrong with his shooting. His confidence is really low. All of the videos I saw of him training during the offseason, he was draining every single shot. So it's strange to see him not be able to make anything.

As for his assist numbers, I think there are 2 main reasons. First, he's still not playing very many minutes. Less minutes = less assists. Also, because of the knee he looks hesitant to drive the lane. He got a lot of assists last season by breaking down the defense and kicking it out to open shooters/cutters.

Holy crap we are freakin DOOMED. I mean, seriously! The amount of injuries we have is just beyond insane.

Good luck winning another game against anyone, any time soon...

Welcome back, Lazar!

Just kidding...we are going to have to sign a center with Pek out. Who is out there?

Kahn will sign Hassan Whiteside...for his name.

And then have that awkward moment when they are introduced when he sees that Hassan doesn't have, well, a white side...

The picture is priceless! It's basically saying, "CW, look who got us this 10-day injury exception. Huh? Huh?!"

--Kahn said he was in New York with Kevin Love for his surgery. The plan is for Love to stay in New York for the initial phase of rehabilitation work -- up to maybe 10 days – and then return to the Twin Cities to continue that work.

--Kahn said he accompanied Brandon Roy to a doctor visit this week. Kahn continues to believe there is a chance Roy, battling chronic right knee pain, could return to action. Roy continues to work on a new treatment plan that Kahn said has produced some positive results. But don’t look for a possible return to come in the next few weeks.

--Kahn said coach Rick Adelman – who has misses six games tending to his ill wife – will not return in the near term. “I think what Rick would like to do is make certain that his family situation is stabilized so that, if he does return, he feels it will be (permanent),” Kahn said.

Nothing against you Tod Murphy, but I didn't read what you wrote. I stop at Kahn said. I can't read or listen to that dude anymore.

TNT showed Kahn at last nights game against the clips and.......can we get this guy out of here soon enough??? Not only is he a clown he is starting to look like one to with that orange hair.

With all these injuries....I don't blame the players or the team. It's David Kahn's bad luck aura. The free agent pick ups were good, but the basketball gods were like..."Aw....heck naw......we are not going to let this guy have any success. We don't want a clown like that representing us. Can you imagine the gloating and smirk on this guys face if he did succeed?? So.......HECK NO!!!!!!"

Yep...that's what they said.

Lol, so true.

Howl!

Kahn's haircut looks fyckin ridiculous. If anyone still needed more proof that he's lost his damn mind, well there it is.

If they use that roster spot to re-sign Lazar i'm going to flip out and punt a kitten. We can not seem to get rid of this guy! He's so terrible.

Kahn's contract is up after this year. Taylor will probably bring him back though based on the injuries.

Well, guess what? You'll never guess because it is such surprising news.

Brandon Roy had another setback!

And Ricky talks, but that's for another thread.

Advice for Roy: if you ever have another great work out, just take the next day off.
