It's a little early for the Clippers to start tanking for more ping pong balls

Can anyone see the clippers winning more than 20 games now?

They sure could use Chris Wilcox right about now. Al Thornton now becomes a legitimate ROY candidate.

Yeah Northerner

Its coming along fine

Im back to playing

Went back to playing at the start of this year......so was all up 11 months on the sidelines

For the first 6 months the speed was still there.....just had no spring

New season has just started, and im a bit stronger in the leg

Thanks for your help & support thru it all

That's great news Fez :)

I was 9 months out, it is a long recovery. I assume your repaired achilles is thicker than the normal one.

One thing I've found, I unconsciously stretch my calves at every opportunity, my physio drilled it into me :) I could be at a wedding, I'm still stretching my calf!!!!
