I liked Dan Gilbert's comments and thought it was a perfect thing to do to fire up a fanbase that just had the life sucked out of them. Colangelo's comments on the other hand are pretty ridiculous. The elbow Bosh took to the head was pretty serious and I know he fractured a couple bones in his nose and face. The nose injuries would probably make it pretty hard to breath while running up and down a court all night. Could he have played? Maybe. But if he wasn't at 100%, it probably wouldn't have mattered.

Well that's another argument too- he's going to play though injuries to get this team to the #8 seed to play....Lebron? i doubt it

Did he have surgery on his elbow? I know it was killing him in the playoffs. Usually at key moments in the game.

Yea Gilbert was talkin more about the ankle than the broken face. Bosh was cleared medically but ankle injuries are nagging and make playing uncomfortable so although he was cleared its still different when you're out there playing.

I understand that Tor and Cle are butthurt about all this but they should really be a bit more professional than this. The NBA is a buisness and teams are always the 1st to point that out. They shouldn't take it so personal when players feel the same way

That's what separates the men from the boys. Kobe played with a long list of injuries to help his team win. In fact Kobe's finger will never be the same again because he played with the injury the majority of the season. If you are a star player trying to make the playoffs or win a title you should be willing to play with a nagging injury if you have been cleared to play. No one in professional sports gets paid to play ONLY when they are 100%.
