PJ out for today game

[akaukswoosh]

Fingers crossed Wofford wins tonight. Against SH the first time, PJ was a star: 29 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and only 1 foul.

 

[caneintally]

Lol, if it was about pain this morning, why was he put in a hard cast? Cast don't alleviate pain...

That is 100% wrong . It immobilizes the foot , hand , whatever is in pain so you don't put pressure/stress on it causing what ? Pain. Sprains are about swelling and pain . Fractures are about needing time to heal and if you continue to move on a fracture it can worsen . A cast provides more protection and immobilization then a boot .

 

[SophiesDad]

Obviously not having PJ this weekend will hurt, but the one’s on here saying we can’t beat Wofford or Seton Hall without him are morons.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

Protecting him for the draft. Sometimes it's easy to forget that Championships aren't the priority at Ky anymore, it's draft night. This stuff only happens to elite talent. Any other player would just tape it up good, if it's a sprain, and play ball.

Cal protects his players come hell or high water which is great to an extent. But I believe it's been overkill too many times since he's been here and it's cost us dearly.

I'm a UK BASKETBALL fan and all that matters to me are Championships. I could care less about a players draft stock.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

So it's basically Richards and a bunch of Freshman. Recipe for disaster.

 

[irishcat1965]

Lol, riiiiighhhht!! Keep telling yourself that, maybe you'll even believe it one day! [winking]

Oh I don’t only believe it, I know it’s true.

 

[BBUK_anon]

You are 100% correct that a hard cast means very little when you have doctors who travel everywhere with the team ( and can take it off and put another one on at any time ) BUT even I think the chances he plays Saturday are less then 50% . Now I think the chances he plays in the sweet 16 if we survive Saturday are in the 70-80% though . That's how I see it. People are freaking over the hard cast part for no reason. I had to wear a hard cast on my hand for 4 days to mobilize my thumb in HS for football one time so it very possible to wear one for a few days and take it off. So that is no reason to freak.

My whole intent was that it does happen when someone stated it never does. I do not know and am not speculating when or if PJ plays. That is up to Cal and PJ....

The gleeful one strikes again.

You seem overjoyed to be dashing the hopes of UK fans.


That's interesting to say the least.

 

[THEmad PIRATE]

If this was really nothing or as minor as they tried to make it seem there is ZERO chance they put him in a hard cast.

He's not playing Saturday either, IMO.

I would bet he is done for the year... Foot injury much more of a significant injury than an ankle... His handlers are not going to risk it... SUCKS

 

[Wildcatfan66]

I am guessing the specialist recommended the cast as the best course of action, either short term or long term. Frustrating as this seems to happen to UK so many times over the years.

 

[irishcat1965]

Weren't you saying that about people yesterday?

And you squarely fit in that category.

 

[STL_Cat]

Well to be fair we do have Travis, too. Not exactly a freshman.

 

[RoyKent]

Obviously not having PJ this weekend will hurt, but the one’s on here saying we can’t beat Wofford or Seton Hall without him are morons.

Why?

We already lost to SH with PJ playing and having a crazy huge game. Dismissing it is what is moronic.

 

[Dablueman]

Exactly. Confirmed it was a sprain like we believed. Yet after expecting him to play now make decision not to play. Makes little sense.

If a hard cast can protect the foot a couple days why play pj against a team we can beat by 20 without? To me it makes perfect sense. After the first dr visit cal expected him to play and perhaps he can play tonight but they all sat down and talked about it and decided why even risk a chance of injuring it more?

 

[BassProCat]

Man we have some candya$$ fans.

[richbrookstomato]

How was PJ ok yesterday, all tests came back negative, he wanted to play, Cal expected him to play, to today he is in a hard cast?

Doesn't make sense

This is to downplay ANY injury he would have incurred to protect his NBA Draft status. Cal will protect PJ even if it pisses off EVERY UK fan.

 

[STL_Cat]

Yes, you said on 3 different occasions you had a hard cast for only 1 or 2 days. I know you aren’t trying to convince me, but no I do not believe that at all.

 

[BlueintheBrew]

Nah, you were insinuating that you'd still be correct if Washington didn't play today.

You offered no sources.

You offered no details.

Just a vague post that was backed up with lines that insinuated you could still be proven right if PJ wasn't good to go.

The mods had no faith in your thread either as they took it down.

Says a lot of what they thought of your tone.

I would have been half correct. I said he was out this weekend, which is what I had heard. I was told both games, but still being out 1 would indicate he was out this weekend. Now it very much looks like he will indeed be out this weekend. Which would make me entirely correct.

I am not going to give names of people who feed me info. That is the quickest way to not get fed info in the future. Might be why you didn’t have the correct info.

Sure, I did. I said he had ligament damage in his foot, which they are diagnosing as a sprain. I said he would be out this weekend. Appears those details are all correct now.

The mods left it until Cal came out and said he was expected to play, which now is false. I am sure had they known, the thread would still be up. I think we can base this off the fact that there are now several threads with similar titles all still existent.


When did factual become a tone?

Yeah man, Reid Travis isn't a senior.

There is not 1 sentence int his post with any truth to it . I mean it is a free world and you welcome to think these wacko things I guess but it makes the whole dumber by putting it out there. I mean the thing about UK basketball being only about championships if your opinion and not a right or wrong matter but your life has to be pretty miserable since we have only won titles in about 5 % of the college basketball seasons . To me it is about being in the hunt and wining as much as possible which Cal has done. No coach has won more or had more tourney success in Cal's tenure in a major conference ( gonzaga has won a ton but they play is a garbage conference)

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

Lol. Get over yourself.

Truth hurts! It's been true from the beginning! Suck it up and accept it! Lol

 

[Cardsstink]

Man we have some candya$$ fans.

I refuse to get caught up in this depressing sh*tshow. See ya next week. Hopefully we advance but clicking refresh refresh refresh to read mass hysteria over this ain’t happening with me. Have a good one!

 

[SophiesDad]

Not saying we definitely win without him or that it wouldn’t be close, but we are a much better team than we were in early December and our defense has improved immensely. We are the better team than both even without PJ

 

[Dablueman]

Lol, if it was about pain this morning, why was he put in a hard cast? Cast don't alleviate pain...

Nope but they help prevent further injury and provide support! Plus it’s not uncommon to have one for just a couple of days. Don’t take a chance let PJ be fresh for the next game! Not worried about Seton Hall or Worford we are more than capable of beating them without pj

 

[BBUK_anon]

Yes, you said on 3 different occasions you had a hard cast for only 1 or 2 days. I know you aren’t trying to convince me, but no I do not believe that at all.

I really do not understand now...

It does not matter to me what you believe. I wish you no ill. Ignorance is bliss for some. I was responding to Cane. (Oh, it was four different times. I remember for sure now. None were on for more than a week. Three were on for less than three days. One was overnight, time-wise almost two days. I was in the Army during that one time.)

 

[STL_Cat]

Well I’m not a “we can’t make it past this weekend without PJ” guy, because I absolutely think we can and will. But dude isn’t playing this weekend. Let’s just hope he’s good to go by next week.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

Really? You, of all people, really want to talk about wacko's? Lol It's absolutely true and has been since Cal has been here. Lol

 

[irishcat1965]

Truth hurts! It's been true from the beginning! Suck it up and accept it! Lol

Yes clearly it’s all been about draft stock. The four final fours and title prove that! And before it was about draft stock, UK had three titles in the past 60 years. That truth has to hurt and you might as suck it up and accept it since those are facts.

There's ways to give details about sources without using names.

Instead, you chose the traditionally weak "I need to protect my sources" route like you're some type of wikileaks insider.

It didn't help your cause.

And your current tone is nauseating. You seem really happy to be proven right.

Well by definition sprain in ur foot is exactly that torn ligament

Protecting stock is first and foremost at Kentucky. Is what it is.

What an ***! You have no clue, you don't protect your stock by saying, I have an injury. He can increase his stock with a good tournament, I wish you guys who believe this would just go away.

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

Protecting him for the draft. Sometimes it's easy to forget that Championships aren't the priority at Ky anymore, it's draft night. This stuff only happens to elite talent. Any other player would just tape it up good, if it's a sprain, and play ball.

Cal protects his players come hell or high water which is great to an extent. But I believe it's been overkill too many times since he's been here and it's cost us dearly.

Yep, disregard this poster.

When? When has he protected a player that was barely injured and it ended up costing us dearly?

 

[Susan2361]

Of course I want PJ to be ok personally as well as for him to be able to play. What bothers me is the deceptiveness with Cal's back and forth. Either he's good to go or he's not. I am an honest person, brutally honest at times. So that part is hard for me. I know they don't tell us everything and they have a reason for doing it that way. It's just hard for me. But I will always root for my CATS until my dying breath.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Raise your hand if you think PJ plays on Saturday.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Man we have some candya$$ fans.

True, and we also have even more fans who are simply tired of the constant bad injury luck, compounded by close losses in the tournament.

It's beyond anyone's hands, which makes it even more frustrating because it's not fixable.

That said, if PJ is done and UK somehow manages to squeak through this weekend, I hope Cal comes out and lets us know that Washington won't be playing like Izzo did with Aherns.

You can’t argue with the irrational bitterness these posters have.

Why don't you run along to your own board now? You are way too happy about this news. You sir are not a UK fan and we don't care what you have to say about this matter, it is none of your business
