Raptors' DeRozan out indefinitely with torn tendon http://thesco.re/1xX16KE

If it was any other team, this would be a sad thing and i'd offer my condolences.

But it's the raptors, who have been way way way too lucky to be almost perfectly healthy for the past 2 years. It's about time they suffered some sort of major injury on their team.

What a terrible way to think.

Anthony Davis is next.

Merry Christmas!

This just means more minutes for Lou Williams, Ross and James Johnson which isn't the worst thing. The Raptors should be able to play through this injury. We know what they'll get from Williams and Johnson, now is the time for Ross to step it up. He needs to become more aggressive on offense.

Yawn, get off your high horse

[Fudge]

Picked up Lou Williams for fantasy too. :rockon:

Sucks for the Raps, doe.

Oh yeah, Bron with another asterisk.

My high horse? You say "it's about time" someone suffers a major injury and then tell me to get off my high horse for telling you how wrong that way of thinking is? Something doesn't add up. Do you always go around wishing misfortunes on anyone lucky enough to sustain success in their life?

[Fudge]

Why are Hawk fans so salty/insecure all the time? :oldlol:

[DMAVS41]

probably won't matter much as long as he's right by the all star break. how far could they possibly fall in the East? Like the 3 or 4 seed even if he misses extended time?

Landry Fields is rolling in his bed.

Derozan plays for Toronto...not Houston. :facepalm

When did i say "someone"? I said the raptors, huge difference. in terms of players, it's obviously a disappointing thing for derozan, but i'm not talking about the player, i'm talking about the team. And where exactly am I wishing misfortune on others? Because I'd rather the raptors suffer an injury than the more injury-riddle ones?

Injuries happen all the time, this is nothing new, deal with it.You must be one of those people who would rather live with the hope that no injuries will happen at all in the league. Sorry, but that's just not happening. They will happen, and I'd rather it happen to a team like the raptors instead of the other teams in the league that have dealt with way more than what the raptors have had to deal with.

Get well soon DeMar. The rest of the boys are going to hold it down for you.

He's referencing Lou Williams.

There's actually not a difference between enjoying an injury to a player or to a team. Players make up a team, if a team faces a major injury, a player has to as well. You literally said "It's about time" which would imply you've been waiting for this to happen and/or take pleasure out of it. Which is plain wrong.

Yes, injuries happen no matter what. But just because the Raptors are facing one, doesn't mean the other 29 teams won't at some time. And yes, I'd rather see injuries not happen then pick and choose who they happen to or where because I'm a human being and a basketball fan and I don't want to see these things happen, even though they will. I'm always going to wish the best for players/teams facing injuries because I know what it's like to suffer injuries myself and see teams suffer because their players are injured. I will not take joy in knowing who suffers an injury just because "it has to happen to somebody, and it might as well be him/them"

Yeah it sucks that Demar went down but we're deep enough to sustain a top 3-4 seed if he's absent for a long period of time. As mentioned by Q, this will allot a greater responsibility on Lou, JJ, and Ross who should be able to carry the load.

DeMar wants to come back in 4 weeks

[ZMonkey11]

Dang...I think that hurts my Kyle Lowry fantasy value. Or does it...:coleman:

IF he rehabs this properly with the training staff, he should be back just after Christmas time. Just in time for the West Coast road trip.

Just hope nothing else goes wrong with him or the rest of the team.
