T. Thomas out 2 Months.

Recommended Posts

The Charlotte Bobcats announced today that forward Tyrus Thomas is expected to miss approximately two months after an MRI revealed a second-degree strain of his left calf muscle and a tear of the plantaris muscle, a smaller muscle that assists the calf in plantar flexing the ankle.

No surgery will be needed for the injury, which Thomas suffered during Saturday night’s game against Memphis.

Be fair guys. He wasn't lighting the world on fire but he was decent enough off the bench. I am disappointed as the next guy about how his time here has turned out especially as excited as I was when he arrived from Chicago, but a hand off the bench that can board and block shots is never a bad thing to have around. Time for Hakim Warrick to step up.

It's a shame that Thomas got hurt. Although he will never live up to his potential, or what we gave up for him (future 1st round draft pick) he was still a solid contributor off the bench. He would come in and make some bone-headed, head-scratching decisions, but he was athletic, could hit a mid range shot (although very inconsistently compared to years before), and block shots. However, Hakim Warrick is the better offensive player and is just as athletic as TT, maybe more. If the front office would not have traded Carroll for Warrick, then we would be in trouble, but since we have a pretty darn good front office at this juncture... we need not to worry.

Would we really be in that much trouble? Hak hardly plays. It's nice to have him and I really liked the trade but I'm not sure we'd be in much trouble.

I think that we would be in a little bit of trouble, as we would have no front court depth. Without Thomas and Warrick, we are looking at Biyombo and Diop as our backup bigs. Of course you could slide MKG over to the 4 once in awhile, but he's a much better player at the 3. Thomas actually gave us 18 minutes a night of solid overall production (although his scoring numbers, especially percentages were pretty low, even for him). Warrick can take those 18 mpg that Thomas was getting and provide even more offensive production (although he won't provide as much rim protection).

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
