“Find a way in Atlanta to get the dub”.

“We are having trouble right now on both ends with like base level game plan stuff”

Redick said after Lakers lost for sixth time in past eight matches “Its odd it is very odd”.

Odder is how a team that was 10-4 two weeks before with chance to make it 11-4 if only hit some late free throws against the Orlando Magic is in free fall lossing those six matches by average of 21.8 points.

Redick added

“there has to be some ownership on court and I shall take all ownership in world. This is my team and I lead it and  I m embarrassed. But I can not physically get us organized.

I can not physically be into basketball, I can not physically talk and call out and physically call out coverages. And by the way I m not blaming players. Its not I own this but going to nee d some ownership on court as well. There is not a sense from me that we are together right now”.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey suffered what is believed to be injury to posterior crucial ligament in his right knee Sunday night leaving the rest of season in difficulty according to coach kyle Shanahan,

McCaffrey is slated to undergo testing Monday that will decide extent of injury and he can play in any of San Francisco five games.

For the first quarter plus against the Bills McCaffrey looked balanced for breakthrough night has been seeking since his comeback from Achilles injury.

Momentum came to screeching halt with 11:23 to go in second quarter when McCaffrey took pitch to right.

He planted his feet to turn upfield he instead opted to slide down without contact.

McCaffrey latest injury appeared to happen about 95 seconds before the play where he gave himself up. With 12:58 left in second quarter McCaffrey burst up middle for 18 yard gain.

George Kittle said

“Its not a great feeling but i mean its football”

“People go down and we have had season where plenty of people have gone down and you need someone to step up and that what we need. We continually need guys  to step up whether it starters and players that we have are already doing it or new guys who are getting into rotation.”

McCaffrey had been working back into form over last three weeks and said this week that he felt a breakout game was close.

Brock Purdy said

“We all saw what he was doing and he was on fire”

“He looked great. Hitting the holes hard and bouncing off guys and making some real explosive plays and that huge. He is one of best running backs in league and you lose him like that I think it takes away sort of how we do some things within offense it sucks”.

As he did for first pair months of season Jordan Mason filled in for McCaffrey while he was out.

Mason finished with 13 carries for 78 yards and rookie backup Isaac Guerendo scored Niners lone touchdown of night bursting off left side from 15 yards out.

Sunday night was McCaffrey fourth match since returning from Achilles tendinitis that kept him out for most of training camp and all San Francisco first eight matches.

“It was frustrating”Shanahan said

“He had a great week of practice and I could feel his urgency and stuff and thought he came out great looking really good and it looked like he just got his shoestring there I hurt for him and tough for our team not having him”.
