    This doesn't mean the rockets can't beat GSW. last time i checked, it was Harden, Paul, Gordon and Capela who are going to determine that.

    Thomas Bryant is playing for a spot in the NBA, Luc was going to do this the first time he dunked anyways. His shoulder needs some more detailed evaluation.

    And on one single play, a 65 win season is potentially all for naught.

    This hurts, real bad.

    We cannot beat the Warriors without Luc. We mightn't even make it to the WCF without him our defense looked that bad when he was out earlier in the year.

    All hands on deck Clutchfans, @Louka we need a positive vibes thread asap.

    Luc is really valuable to our defense. Geez, this blows.

    You should check on the defensive side then if that's your viewpoint.

    Eventually yeah. But hopefully he can return for the playoffs. Surgery would likely mean his season is done.

    We struggled without him. Although it is worth noting that during this stretch, CP3, Harden, and Capela all missed games.

    He needs surgery, the guy still has several years in the league and if he wants to be on a roster he needs to get his shoulder fix or it'll be a recurring issue that'll keep him off the court and out of contract offers.

    That stretch where he was out was an extremley small sample size. I mean he's a good defender, but to think he would be the difference in a series with gsw? lol

    Big loss. His shoulder completely popped out. It's worse than last time. These dislocations can reoccur quite easily and even if we rested him it clearly wasn't fully healed. I hope he can return, but he'll likely be out longer than before. Just awful timing. He should be banned from dunking from now on.

    Does he need it eventually? Yeah. But hopefully he can delay until the summer.

    Gonna throw out that we didn't have Gerald for the majority of the games that Luc was out for.
