McDyess

hopefully this is not just something made up by the officials in order to sell more tickets

that could be an explanation, but i'm pretty sure Dice will be back in November

Click to expand...

since we are in september already, we need to sell as much tickets as we can. management lied us to many times, so this could be possible

bad news guys.. articles saying dice will start only in december appeared in the media...

The injury helps ease the logjam coach Don Chaney has to contend with at that position, and he has options until Antonio McDyess returns to reclaim it, which team insiders figure to be sometime in December.

nj.com.. is that your source?
not to reliable i'll say. but if that's true, which i don't think, then it means that lampe and sweetney will get even more time to play

and that means even more time for sweetney and lampe 8)

i've seen a thread on basketballboards.net forum, where a guy pretended that he actually spoke to antonio, and he said he's ready to play.
i don't know how reliable this source is, but latley there were lots of rumors saying that mcdyess will start this season
what do you think?

that's great news, if only is true. cross your fingers fans!

“I definitely am thinking I’m going to be the same player. I’ll have the explosiveness and quickness I had before I got injured the second time. After the first injury I thought the same thing. I still think I’m going to be the same player. I kind of have feelings during rehab, I’m moving a lot more; things are progressing a lot more.”

this should be interesting.. anyone feels optimistic ?

same thing happened to grant hill and orlando magic, so as much as i want to believe he'll return, i say hold your horsses until we see it with our own eyes. if he returns, i want him to be as good as it was back in the days, and not taking the time of other players
i'm not pessimistic, i just don't want to be dissapointed again

at least dice is sure on what he's saying

Layden Updates on Antonio :: nyknicks.com

Knicks President and GM Scott Layden gave an update today on the injury situation to Antonio McDyess, saying, "At this point, Antonio McDyess' knee is as healed as it should be ... He's had no setbacks. Indeed, while last season we were measuring his progress month to month, now it's day to day. Layden added, "He'll be playing for this team this year." Regarding Allan Houston's readiness for the season following off-season arthroscopic surgery, Layden said, "I have no worries about Allan. ... He may be limited in some of the early practices, but that's all. He'll be ready."

WTF

If Antonio McDyess' rehab wasn't confusing enough, it got more ridiculous yesterday when he and Don Chaney made contradictory statements during Media Day.

After Chaney said McDyess can practice with the team any time he says he's ready, Dice said he's being held back by team brass and doctors.

"I don't stop myself, they stop me," McDyess said. "I'm so anxious to get back on the court. If they didn't stop me, I'd be running and trying to practice if it weren't for them. I just try to listen to the doctor. If he says jump, I jump."

Earlier, Chaney said, "We're waiting for him to tell us when he's ready. He's calling the shots."
