The man played with a torn ligament and hairline fracture in his wrist the last month of last season, when the Clippers were out of the playoffs and he wasn't playing for a contract. He loves the game and gets the sh*t beat out of him playing as hard as he does and still he gets criticized for all his injuries. Of course all of us, all his teammates, coaches and more importantly Corey himself wants to play every game but if he can't run and jump what else can he do but sit?
Manu has the same exact injury and will be out just as long, do you think Spurs fans are calling him weak or fragile? He goes all out just like Corey does and if you play that way you have injuries. The real difference is they have Michael Finey backing up Manu and the Clippers have Q Ross and Walter McCarty and that is weak, not Corey.
This is a game they should win and must win to get their confidence back and in that way it's a must win.

Hey Aphasia:
I agree with you 1000% about Corey. I just got so tired of battling for Corey; and frankly, I don't even understand WHY he gets criticized here.
Good to know that I now have someone here that can help me to battle Corey's position here. It is also good that apparently Clipper management understands his value, since Dunleavy made it clear that Corey is untouchable.
