Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 24, 2015 Coach Flip Sanders is being treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma. I love it when a cancer patient gets all up in cancer's face 'it's very treatable and curable'. You shouldn't have dared cancer, Flip. SC Sir Creep warned you, but did you listen? Three weeks after announcing he has 'very treatable and curable' cancer, he is back in hospital after 'a setback'. I'd have to imagine the coach of an NBA team would obit but only y'all know that. One to NOW definitely keep an eye on!!!SC http://m.newspressnow.com/sports/ap/basketball/article_aac1c389-37bd-528a-a3dc-92b96a183ea0.html?mode=jqm Minneapolis Star Tribune journalist Jerry Zgoda suggests Saunders's recent silence means either a poor reaction to chemo or more cancer than originally thought, so indeed worth keeping an eye on. Timberwolves front office makes it official that Saunders won't be back to coach this 2015-2016 season. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted October 26, 2015 That was very quick! Really a statistical outlier. I just put him on my team last week, because one of his colleagues, when asked about Saunders' health reportedly started to cry. At 60, he was also relatively young... Some bodies just don't respond to treatment, I wonder if there is some kind of discernible reason to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some bodies just don't respond to treatment, I wonder if there is some kind of discernible reason to that. I suppose cancer researchers want to know too. I haven't given their work much attention in the last few years, but I suppose in the future cancer treatment will be much more tailored to the patient.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 30, 2015 Luther Ticky Burden, a former NBA player (Knicks) and Winston-Salem resident, dies at 62.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 4, 2015 Here's one of the most intriguing stories in a while. How mysterious! Miami Heat guard Gerald Green has been hospitalized, according to the team, which released a statement that neither explains when Green checked in nor what ailment is affecting the player. TMZ Sports, however, paints a more bizarre picture. According to witnesses, Green “was acting strange” and causing a “huge commotion” in his Miami condo building’s lobby when Miami Fire and Rescue arrived on Wednesday morning. TMZ’s sources said it took several people to restrain Green, including an unnamed teammate, who helped get Green on a stretcher and into an awaiting ambulance.
