Wouldn’t be a proper offseason with the season being ruined before it begins.

On his IG from about 5 hours ago, he has a clip of him doing a shooting drill where he jogs into ATB threes. Either it's a minor foot thing and him not playing is precautionary or it's an old clip or he got injured after those shooting drills and the time of the tweet.

Anyway, kinda expected that we'd be clenching our buttholes the entire season due to injury risk to our three bigs.

Here’s the vid I was referring to…

Good to see they haven’t amputated him yet.



What is the the chair doing during the three point drill?

That's Tremont Waters, back in the NBA, caught in a cross-match.

This is day-saving news. Blake was the #1 pick in his draft, Porzingis was a 4th pick, ipso facto Blake is 4X better.

And Blake is not too tall, so there is less likelihood of another player running into his junk during an errant play.

Basketball really is a very simple game.

The Porzingis Crisis Day 2

Silence pervades the gloomy atmosphere as worried fans wait with bated breath for some encouraging news,
a glimmer of hope, amongst our ill fated destinies...

Porzingis with foot issues and Brissett with knee issues. The upcoming season is off to a flying start.

Too many old and injury prone guys on this roster. Need to rebalance it.

Come on now.

Prozingis
Horford
Brogdon
Rob Williams
Brown

None of these guys have a history of injury.

Most "durable" bigs last four seasons -- Zubac, Jokic, Vucevic, JVal, Randle, Gobert, Portis.

Between Rob, KP, and Horford, I think we can have an 82-game season at center position! Nothing to worry about. Then Kornet plays every playoff game at center.

this board is going to find a whole new level of appreciation for Mahcusssssss. Hopefully Zinger doesn't disappoint and D White can be a fulltime PG on this roster. We shall see

They're ripe for a trade for a disgruntled superstar or two in terms of salary matching. That team is going nowhere as currently constructed.

Kinda feels like KP and the Cs came to an agreement when signing the extension for him to either not play or not push himself at all in FIBA.
