FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK that was Kevin Ware bad.

The Pacers outlook doesn't look good at all. Lance gone, no wing depth, and then this. Holy **** I feel horrible for them.

they couldn't score with Lance and PG now what? David West as #1 option? They should blow it up for this season and get a high pick, come back strong in 2016

Prayers going out for PG dude really seems like a good guy IDC if he bangs strippers. Good thing he had the leg sleeve because his bone would have looked like Kevin Ware. Pacers are absoutly done after that and Lance leaving I really feel bad for them and the fans.

This is like 500 times worse than the video. You literally see the middle of his leg on the floor.

hopefully its a clean break and he comes back better than ever.

silver lining, it might be better than a knee injury :dontknow:

Every NBA fan in the world is feeling it right now, I was mid sandwich and I cant even eat anymore.

I just had a panic attack and fainted. I can't handle that kind of stuff. Im praying for George, that is utterly devastating.

Joest2003 · Post #1333 » by **Joest2003** » Sat Aug 2, 2014 3:21 am

During the game I was upset that Big AL, Kemba, or Lance wernt on the team but all of a sudden im more than OK with them not being part of team USA.

@ShaunLivingston
I know people are in shock from Paul George's injury. He will be able to bounce back bc he has a warrior mentality. I said the same about Derrick Rose. They both have youth on their side and sometimes these injuries can make you a stronger individual than before. It forces your mind to will the body to a place it hasn't experienced! I believe in Paul George and his recovery back to the top!

A doc on SportsCenter just said a minimum of 9-12 months on George from the pic I saw I wonder if he will ever play again.

Will definitely play again.

Not going to watch any replay. My thoughts and prayers go out to the young man for a speedy and full recovery.

Good lord that looked awful. I hope PG comes back as strong as ever, even if the recovery time is daunting. I haven't heard anything about ligament or nerve damage, so that's good at least.

They need to move the stanchion back a good 10-15 feet minimum, and the camera people/cheerleaders as well. Announced have always said on broadcasts "We all know it's dangerous, but until a star gets hurt no one will feel the need to change it." Well there you go NBA/USA Basketball, the worst possible scenario unfolded. No more excuses. It needs to be moved back immediately as a matter of player safety.

Prayers go out to PG and his family. Hope we see him good as new next in 2016.

Apparently the stanchion where they were playing was significantly closer than it is in NBA arenas. It probably should be pushed back anyway in NBA arenas, but If it was at NBA regulation this wouldn't have happened.

Good to know. I just watched the replay again (not fun) and you're right, it's much closer than it would be in an NBA arena. I can't understand why they would even play a game in an arena where a it was that close to the baseline. I believe the injury that took Noel down also involved a stanchion that was unusually close even by NCAA standards.
