So, I was thinking about Nolan and his forced sit... could it actually in some strange way not be a total negative for him?

I just wonder... he had lost his starting spot, he had run into immediately foul trouble in a few games in a row, and generally as an athlete you have to believe he was pressing a little and probably not happy with things. Does being forced away in this uncontrollable way maybe help Nolan by taking a bit of the immediately pressure off of him, and allow him to "miss" the game a bit, maybe turning the focus from "Argh you better improve why are you playing subpar?!" to "Hey, come back as you can and do what you can, and we know you are really looking forward to coming back?" Also, will his return be a nice pick-up for the boys?

Anyway... just thinking of silver linings and all.
