are the East AllStars better without Caron?

Caron Butler, Jamison's teammate on the Wizards and on the Eastern Conference all-star team, also revealed something. Butler said that had Jamison not snapped the team's eight-game losing streak with a miraculous, game-winning tip-in against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, he would've felt compelled to come back too soon from his strained left hip flexor.

"If we had lost another game, I would have no choice but to come back after the all-star break and play through pain," said Butler, who will sit out Sunday's All-Star Game. "It's a big relief. I'm going to take my time and make sure I'm healthy. I don't want this to be something that lingers on through the rest of the season."

Sounds like Butler might not be back after the All Star break.

I love Butler, but man he gets hurt a lot.

People that play their arse off usually do. It's why we'll have people like D-song all season. *sigh*

i think TJ should remain resting for a while and return together with Gilbert on March 2nd! I'll be there. As a matter of fact, i went to three games this year and butler didn't play in any of them

Calm it down.

Might be painful to watch, but no matter what Caron needs to take his time coming back.

If the Wizards can stay in sixth place 3 or 4 more games, that gives Caron even another week after the all star game to heal.

sorry miller, it just pisses me off when people say things like that

The NBA is better off without this scrub called Caron something. The Wizards should sign Laron Profit to a max deal and start him at SF.
