Your comments
(5)wow, feel a lil better that it is a team decision for asante...and i would be really excited if watson can play
So, what's this "team decision" thing? A way of masking an injury?
what the hell is this (team decision) stuff on Samuel???
What is a possible reason they would decide to not have Asante practice? I can see them doing what they did with Randy and have him limited practice, but I can't see them saying, "okay, you don't have to practice today".
Team decision usually means things like - family emergency, personal business, needed to go work on some issue first with a specific trainer or coach, etc.
