He needs a brain. Dude will end up in China with his current basketball IQ
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

It’s wild how playing with a calf injury always seems to lead to Achilles injuries

The body displaces the weight and the achilles isn’t built to hold that much weight. It’s bound to snap.

Also, a whole season with no Dame, Hali, Tatum or Kyrie is wild.

I would say that's how you usually tear your achilles. Kobe/KD did very similar moves.

As a team, you have to hold them out. We’ve seen enough. If this happens to Luka or Wemby they should obviously pull them out

Yea for sure, maybe if they didnt make a joke Haliburton wouldn't have played and injured himself more

Back when i think Dame or Tatum tore theirs early in the playoffs, i was reading something that said because their ankles are so heavily taped now days, there is nowhere for the stress/strain to go so the Achilles ruptures.


If that's true they have to change the taping back

McConnell has a tendency to over dribble.

Horrific injury aside, this is already a less nervous Game 7 than most have been offensively, they're usually really ugly games.

Wallace just held TJs arm hand directly in front of the ref and they did nothing. It’s insane

OKC just allowed to do whatever on defense. Meanwhile SGA gets the softest whistle ever.
