IMPORTANT WEEKEND (9/16-9/18)

Sounds like he had a heart attack.

So any update on what happened to Malik? Besides speculation?

If only we could get to the bottom of who was doing the speculating.

 

[MasonFanatic]

He said on Twitter it was dehydration

I didn't want to fuel any rumors, but I happened to be sitting right near the training table, and after they checked him for more serious stuff, they were treating him in a way that was consistent with dehydration.

I also should note that Kim never left his side.

Sorry! I saw you but got distracted, there were a lot of people to catch up with.

He said on Twitter it was

Damn he must of been really dehydrated. Still very scary.

When a poster mentioned “collapsed, and AED” I assumed the sudden cardiac arrest. It seems like every year a basketball player is plagued with that.

Pulling my messages out of context. Get a life.

Sorry I’m concerned for the well-being of a player.

Well Marfan's syndrome is always a concern with tall lean basketball types. And then there is the possibility of exertional sickling. Among other cardiovascular conditions. There are tons of reasons that can be underlying and cause such a thing. Or regular old passing out cause you couldnt catch your breath. Unless you're in the know, there's no telling what it could be. Hoping for the simplest explanation. Sounds like he had a great off-season and came ready to compete for a larger role this year.

Not much said about Jones, Ojiako, or Peter Oduro. Should I temper my expectation that Ojiako will be a real contributor this year? Got my hopes up for Kabimba and don't want to be fooled again.

I expect Ojiako to play against teams that have a true center because we’ll need his size, but figure Malik to be the primary backup to Josh against smaller, more athletic lineups. Hoping the light switch has been flipped on for Malik because he has a ton of natural ability and we need to be able to rest Josh without getting murdered in the paint.

Not much to say about any of the bigs, even Josh since they were playing with a 17 sec shot clock.

Fair enough. I guess I overlooked that factor.

Just letting everyone know in advance that when we win a game, I'll declare us National Champs and the greatest thing since sliced bread and rippled toilet paper. IF we should lose a game, by some mysterious occurrence, I will declare that we SUCK and will never win another game and that we should be demoted to DIII. Gotta love being a fan!

After I sober up, reality will return, and I'll be realistic about our chances.

Was the trainer working on your injuries from the fantasy camp?

The Thursday vintage of MD 20/20 is always the best! MUST be consumed in a brown paper bag. Okay, off topic........

Back when I was drinking, wine with a twist off cap was the only way to go.
