Back issues finished lots of players careers in different sports. I'm starting to get very concerned now.


I had a similar injury & operation to Simmons and from personal experience, he's probably on schedule

Laterally and straight line he's fine but it's the vertical which isn't there yet

That's no surprise to me as I lost most of the strength in my legs/glutes and wasn't back to 100% for at least 9 months

Do you think his recent back tightening up and that knee soreness he had earlier in the season is part of the process of getting to 100%. Did you go through something similar?

Pull it to you like this.

If you start PCA, OR tech etc specialty, 1st thing they'll teach you is that every person is different from each other. Race, Hight, Weight, Gender etc come in to play.

What he said is already more than enough. Standard is already known, just appreciate the info.

Kyrie might not play tonight.

What a **** disaster. If we lose this game we might be cooked.

Those 2 wide open corner 3s by Joe were heartbreakers, those should be like layups to him.

This is exactly why Vaughn should of played Kessler Edwards and Cam, we need to match that energy with the young guys. And he should of at least played Duke if we still have him. We can't keep playing old spoiled comfortable players, we need to put some young hungry lions in there and that's what most of OKC is. Idk half the guys that we're playing on OKC.

That kid Giddey has a ridiculous touch around the rim, I dont know how half of those shots went in.

I actually happen to watch their games for past few weeks. Seen how they beat living hell from Saltics, Philthy, Grizz etc games.

If you won't match their energy, they will embarras you. Without watching game I know they just put up a lay up fest and than made some crazy shots in the 2nd half, that's just how they roll. They offensively challenged team when it comes to shooting, so they attack the rim relentlessly till few players get hot.

Giddy is crafty as it gets with high IQ. When he will develop that consistent 10-15 ft, PROBLEM. He's the reason SGA will be traded in some time. They just have hard time fitting for some reason. Something is not organic with them two on the floor.


Thunder are a very physical team, they're big (as in thick) at every position

I think that really wore us down towards the end of the game, battling that physicality also explains why we lost our jumpshots in the 4th.

If Clax wasn't there we would have given up 130 easily, they were going to the rim anytime they wanted.

That's true & I can only speak of my experience, feedback from my surgeon and other patients

My experience and that of others was consistent with Ben's but I was relatively "fortunate" in that I suffered my injury at the end of pre-season and therefore had basically 12 months to get right again

Aside from the physical aspect, I also had mental hurdles to overcome and it took some time before I was able to trust my body before I was able to go at 100% again
