Cooper's knee

[Kfanarmy]

For the past three games, it has seemed Cooper's left knee has momentarily given out. Anyone have specific insight?

Bury my heart at Cooper's Knee . . .

It’s over

Sure it's just not cramping?

 

[AZLA]

Seems to be serial cramper

Agree! Mods- can we remove this thread? Or at least the title?

He was using one of those massage guns while on the bench.

Why?

Could be. But against Auburn and tonight he didn't react like it was a cramp.

Ugh massage gun on a knee? I didn't see it but that's surprising. The IT band is so near the surface that, for me anyway, seems like it would be too intense. But then again I'm only a world class complainer.

It looked to me like Coop may have banged knees with a defender. Painful, but only external.

Coop is great! I really like this guy. Perhaps his usage rate is a bit too high?
After he went to the bench V L'ville with fouls, I was thinking " ok, now what's it going to look like?"..

And the James/Brown show was fantastic!! The game flowed, there was no forcing and we were efficient extending a slim lead.
I think we can give Coop more rest for his knee, cramps, focus, energy and closing out the game.

love the James Brown duo....I'm fine with keeping the starting lineup as is, hopefully the younger guys continue to improve, but the lineup with James Brown plus Cooper, Tyrese and the Kneeper is fun to watch.

What can I say about this?

I feel good.

Who could not like James Brown?

Yea, I was thinking the same thing when Coop went out for an extended time with four fouls. It seemed to me (at least) that the offense actually flowed a little better without him in the game (I believe we extended the lead against L'Ville with Coop not in the lineup. Correct me if I am wrong). Watching the games so far, I sometimes think CF tries to do too much on the offensive end and it doesn't always work out too well. And the other players always seem to be trying to get the ball to him and then let him take over.

Tar Heel fans, at this point, doubly dislike James Brown (probably).

Rich material for Coach Scheyer. He'll talk this over with the team as a whole and also with Coop. There are lessons to be learned that can make this team better offensively, and that's exactly what is needed.
