[Oh Snap]

RT @GoodmanCBS Miami big man Reggie Johnson is expected to miss about six weeks with a broken thumb. Tough blow for the 'Canes.

I hate being a Miami fan.

That said, I'm going to be positive for once. If we can play .500 ball in the ACC until he gets back the season isn't lost. We destroyed FSU last year without Reggie.

If he misses 6 weeks, he'd be back for the last 6-7 ACC games.

This really sucks.

Brown, TMJ and Gameble better step up!

This hurts kadji the most. He's a much better player when he doesn't have to worry about rebounding, banging down low, and basically trying to pick up the slack for Reggie.

It also hurts our guards since teams rarely double kadji, meaning less open shots for them on the outside.

Just keeps getting better and better.

Big loss. Guy can dominate when he wants to but it really hurts on the rebounding scene.

Does that include the 3 he already missed? If so, and add LaSalle and he'd only missing 8 of 18 ACC games (trying to look at the positives)

This fing sucks. Every year I have high expectations, like Mcclinton Sr. yr and this yr its disappointment.

 

[strauzer]

Likely won't be back until the last few games in Feb/March and be available for ACC tourney. Need the other to step the fugg up, win 6 or 7 games and hope Reggie gets back for the last 4 and we go on a nice run in the ACC tourney. Will need 21-22 wins to make March Madness and a top 4-5 finish in the ACC.

Brutal. Jekiri needs to develop in a hurry so Kadji isn't worn down after a month. He has to give us 10 minutes a game or we have absolutely no shot.

 

[pcitycane]

He will have no choice.

We have 6 available ACC level athletes on the roster for the next 2 months: Larkin, Kadji, TMJ, Brown, Jekiri, Scott. One (Jekiri) is a freshman with no offensive game, one (Brown) is completely lost, and one (Scott) is gimpy. This season went from high expectations to no expectations real quick.
