I realize that I left Brand out of the mix in my post about the “walking wounded” returning. I’m happy that Brand is healthy again and wish him the best in his comeback but in that particular post I wanted to focus on players who came back for playoff teams and talk about the impact that Arenas, Nowitzki and Gasol have on their respective squads.

Oh, we weren’t really trying to point out a big hole in your post or anything like that, David. 20 Second Timeout is a daily read for ETB, and we frequently try to steer our readers your way. We just hadn’t been seeing much about Brand’s big return with 19 points in 25 minutes. You’re right, though, the other guys have playoff implications and their returns had more impact.

No problem. My plan is that once the season is over (and maybe the first couple rounds of the playoffs) there will be time to look at Brand’s comeback in total and figure out what it means in the grand scheme of things both for him and the Clippers.
