Author Topic: B-Ball training staff? (Read 2482 times)

Last year, JO played like a total boss after they started giving him shots to alleviate his back pain. This year, DJamer has been playing the best basketball of his career after he got shots in his knee to help his tendonitis. Is our staff too slow to give our players the medical help they need? I'm no doctor, but it seems like ailments similar to the aforementioned injuries would require something other than exercise/rest to remedy the situation, and our staff has been reluctant to administer such treatments. I could be way off base, just trying to gauge whether there is any legitimacy to my observation.

He was never an offensive threat and he is getting wide open lay-ups because nobody keys on him

On defense earlier in the year, you could tell there was at least one of his knees that wasn't right. He's a decent athlete, and he was getting blown by guys that were losers because he couldn't change direction.

Which guys? NO CO guys or what? I have had 4 knee surgeries, to me, he didnt seem to be hampered by knee issues, he just wasn't that good, that being said I was pretty meh earlier in the season.

In the non-con it seemed like when he had to guard anywhere outside the circle, then he could be taken to the hoop at will. You could see him try to plant and change direction, and it looked like his knee just couldn't respond. Maybe Im remembering things wrong, or maybe I've overestimated his ability to guard outside the circle recently, but there definitely seems to have been a change when I watch him.

He still can't change direction. He jump stops on every closeout. Gets beat to the rim when he tries to guard anything outside of 8 feet. He's been used more lately under the rim as a fly swatter on D, and has worked on sealing off the high block and guards have been less reluctant to feed him for easy layups. Major, major improvements, but I'd hardly thank any gain in agility, coordination, or speed. More a shift in utilization.

everyone gets shots starting day one now. all over.

deuce has lined up some great evidence that show that shots work. makes me wonder, where did this training staff go to med school, ku? that would explain the tardy shot sched that they've been proven guilty of running. also- is this another one of ADJC's cost cutting measures? shots medication ain't cheap. my guess is he did the math and is saving a shitload by holding back shots.

Hey guys, one thing I was thinking about is that we all should be injecting more cortisone into ourselves.

I vote for more steroid shots and less cortisone. Or whatever on the cortisone, as long as we start steroids.

wabash909 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2014, 09:38:54 AM »

I'm good with injections of any type, even of the hot beef variety.

It's been a while since I saw The Program with James Caan, but I'm pretty sure steriods were the key to winning, and the guy who played it straight got his knee blown up. So more steriods are probably what we need.

Maybe a little heroin if you're like real down in the dumps

Would a Suppository be even more effective? I hear they administer them frequently at rectum tech

ZOMG!!!

I don't like needles. But I'm OK with injections for others if it means we win more games.
