Man, big ups to the ATL fans, classy after all the ish they gave him with the FT routine to stop and pay respect like that. They probably are a bit more empathetic after Trae going down.

I'm rooting for the Hawks for years after this series. They are my new #2.

I think people are overreacting. If it was significant he wouldn't be able to walk on his own power. He'll be back for game 5

Not sure what they were thinking when I saw that too.


I think Klay was walking and then jumping up and down to test his knee immediately after his first injury.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

And the Hawks don't have any all-stars.

If Cam can make a similar leap offensively as Hunter, look out!

These playoffs are about as good an argument as I’ve seen for the talent level of the current NBA. Guys go down, and teams still just chug along with plug and play starters and still get big offense.

Kobe walked on his own weight and took two free throws with a torn Achilles lol him being able to walk with a limp means nothing.

Rondo tore his ACL once and played on it for a game.

It doesn't really mean anything.

I think it’s adrenaline. Giannis also was probably toughing it out walking unassisted. After some time I think he might start to feel it more severely. Hopefully it’s not that serious though. Hate injuries.

Yep. Reminds me of Klay walking normally for a sec after that injury in the 2019 finals to go shoot those free throws although he had a slight limp. After he went back, next you saw him on crutches.

This looks a little worse than Embiid's meniscus tear. Same type of fall.
