DWill hurting

[ultimatefrizzdude]

I have DWill on my fantasy team and saw this pop up today on ESPN.

Williams practiced at just "half-speed" on Monday due to a sore lower back and bruised right hip, the Deseret News reports.

Spin:
The Jazz have four games coming up in the next five nights starting Tuesday against Miami. Williams was able to log a career-high 54 minutes in a double-overtime win on Saturday, and is expected to play Tuesday. He has fought through injury often in his career and we don't expect to see any significant drop off in his play.

I know we all knew he was fighting through stuff, but I had never heard specifically that it was his back AND hip.

Is Deron injury-prone or what? He barely played in the pre-season and now he's hurt after just 6 games. This guy is starting to become a major pansy. Waa, waa, waa. You're playing like **** half the time so better make up and excuse for all those TO's and the terrible shooting in the three Jazz losses. Man up, Deron. If you want to be as great as Stockton, you have to learn to just suck it up and go. I'm sure John had a lot of aches and pains, but he never let it show. Now you know Miami - Charlotte are going to be banging away on that hip, standing him up whenever they can.

Sloan strikes again: why did you play DWill the entire second half with 2 OTs? That is stupid, four games into the season. You have to trust your bench and develop them for the playoffs or you go nowhere. If they are that bad that they cannot come in for 4 or 5 minutes out of 34 then it is a moot point, you are gonna suck anyway: you play your bench and they fail or you overplay your starters and burn them out and you fail that way also. Sign him up for another 20 years.

Trade him.

Perhaps because the Clippers represented the only truly winnable game over the next week. Better to have DWill go 54 mins and then use Price and Watson against the Heat, Magic, Atlanta and Charlotte. In fact, if I were Sloan, I'd have Deron only play 24 mins vs. Miami and Orlando and then sit out the Atlanta game. Charlotte is the best (only?) chance the Jazz have of stealing one on this road trip.

Only an idiot would question deron williams who always comes march is putting up beast numbers. Its a marathon not a sprint. Dwill always turns it up come playoff time. History will show you that. Some people shouldnt even watch basketball if they think the season hinges on one solo game.

Some people are not able to tell when a post is dripping with sarcasm and exaggeration, or sarcaggeration.
The surest way to tell with most people, is that there are words in the post.

I would recommend you assume most people are sarcaggerating before you respond seriously.... but then again... keep responding this way because it is humorous.

Way to make it personal and slightly religiously-tinged! Totally proved your point, bro.

...well, then, I'll reply! Deron played all those minutes because 1) he wanted to. 2) the Jazz needed to win that home game. 3) Sloan always says "you guys are young get paid millions to play, you can rest on your own time!"
