Hate to see this happen to anyone.

Fortunately though he just signed his new contract in the off-season and the Thunder are going to owe him his money. He will get every chance to rehab the injury if it is that serious and come back to resume his career.
 
Weird as it may seem, losing Dre hurts the Thunder on both ends of the floor, as they are more efficient on offense when the starters play with him.
 


Injuries are always hard but you can tell that his teammates care about Dre a lot more than just another teammate.

Best wishes to Andre. What a tough guy. Very little reaction to the pain and devastation.
 
Looks like Dre has been having issues with the knee for a while. Maybe could have been prevented with a little rest. Sucks.

Since Roberson went out, Oklahoma City’s defensive rating has been 112.3, which would rank 27th in the league, ahead of only the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns. That’s extreme though not unexpected with Roberson no longer there to cover for weaker defenders like Westbrook or Anthony. But here’s the kick in the head: The team’s offensive ratings has barely budged despite losing one of the worst offensive players in the league, going from 110.9 before Roberson’s injury to 111.8 after it. This is much harder to explain.

Roberson didn’t simply deprive his offense of a player who could do a better job of shooting, passing or dribbling. He shrank the court, allowing defenders to roam guilt-free, to harass ballhandlers and make life difficult for anyone establishing post position or running around off-ball screens.

That's pretty crazy. Talk about a guy who made up for his lack of shooting ability by doing all the dirty work.

It's pretty easy to explain why the offense hasn't improved much.

If you don't get stops on defense, the other team is able to set its defense and it becomes much harder for you to score. It takes a lot of broken court points out of your offense.

In other words, the offense doesn't improve much with Dre out because #Tadball.
