Then Luol tore some ligaments in his wrist, Derrick, well, Mat thinks you know, and Jo badly twisted his ankle in Game 3.
There's been much ado about Luol going forward and participating in the games. Mat wishes he wouldn't, but completely understands the importance and cannot blame Luol.
Oddly enough, Mat is happy that Noah will be sitting out.
Mat likes the Olympics, especially basketball, but he has his other reasons, like this, this and this. But he'd much rather see Joakim have a full offseason and come back in full form on Opening Night.
This reminds Mat a lot of the World Baseball Classic. Everyone whines and moans when their players decide to participate, but then the second the tournament starts, we all want our home country to win.
It's a double edged sword of sorts. Mat would much rather Luol had the surgery the day after the Bulls were ousted, but now that he's playing, Mat would love to see the Brits have some success and Lu show the world what kind of player he is.
Of course in the end though, the Americans need to win to continue showing our dominance. But Mat wouldn't be totally against seeing something unfortunate occur to #6.
Disclaimer : Mat never wishes ill will on any players, it's merely a figure of speech. Ok, no it's not. Mat kind of wants #6 to get hurt. Nothing life threatening though, that'd be cruel. Just career threatening.
