I think some one, I don't know who, will press firmly on Wade's shoulder as soon as he comes back.

According to Keith Langlois at Pistons.com, Rip has been suffering from a concussion for the last two weeks and is questionable for the Heat game. He may need a helmet to go with the mask.

And March saw Rip Hamilton miss the last four games with both flu-like symptoms and the after-effects of a mild concussion.

That was Saturday’s news, when Hamilton skipped the Pistons’ brief practice in preparation for Sunday afternoon’s Miami visit to The Palace of Auburn Hills but worked out afterward under the supervision of strength coach Arnie Kander.

“One of the doctors I went to see said, ‘Did you get hit in the head lately?’ ” Hamilton said. “I never woke up in the middle of the night with my head banging like that.”

As best Hamilton can figure, the concussion occurred two weeks ago when the Pistons returned from their five-game Western road sweep to play Dallas in another Sunday matinee. Hamilton got jolted twice in that game – once when Webber inadvertently elbowed him, causing a three-stitch gash above his eye, and again when Dallas center Erick Dampier shoved him from behind under the basket and he crashed hard to the floor.

That might make him the coolest player of all time!

Having the flu AND a concussion could certainly affect a guys game.

Well...that explains a lot of things to me. Rip really hasn't looked himself.
