It happened on the steal at 5:28 left in the first. He played well after, but you can see him messing with it, and one close up shows it swollen.

I'm not sure if it's just me looking for it, but I saw some left hand dribbles afterwards.

They don't have to and they have been underusing Roberts, or at least not giving him many minutes.

So they've been adequately using Roberts.

I dread having to watch him dribble out shot clocks for the rest of the season, before eventually taking the same pull up jumper he could have had 15 seconds earlier.

This sucks for Rivers, he'd really turned a corner. Hopefully he comes to summer league later in the year with an improved mid range jumper and left hand.

He actually looked damn good attacking and finishing left last night. He finally starts figuring it our and gets hurt.

Not many Hornets got shot attempts. Those that did missed them all (of course).

Absolutely. But he (and several other players in the NBA) drives me nuts with the inability or refusal to use the left hand when finishing. But the kid was really coming along until the injury.

I wasn't happy to see the injury but was happy to see it was his right hand. Maybe that will force him to work on his left hand while he recovers.

Is anyone else surprised this or the Smith injury didn't spark a sign Jimmy Graham to a 10 day contract frenzy?

Maybe as part of the Sunday wrap-up thing. Someone else was doing the game.

I am posting something later today going over the new STH benefits, talking about the good moves (most of them) and the how to fix the bad (just one).

That one doesn't make it past Loomis' trashcan.

Awful timing. Was really starting to make strides.

When his had heals, he needs to shoot 1k FTs per day.
