hes not coming back I quit basketball cause I did that to both wrists multiple times

you even swing your hand and you get sharp pain in it ... one of my wrists is still bigger than the other under the pinky finger


shooting a jumpshot with that feeling is impossible to put touch behind

the worst nba playoffs I have ever seen :mjcry:

these injuries legitimately fukked up the whole season

Pretend that Clippers vs. Spurs was the WCF. Grizzlies vs. Warriors can be the ECF. The WCF will be the NBA Finals. And consider anything good that comes out of the Eastern Conference or the NBA Finals to be a nice bonus.

Seriously, this could have been a GREAT playoffs. Then we have to have the Hawks fukkery, Webster out, Love out, Wall out, every freaking point guard in the western conference playing hurt or missing games ('cept Curry and Dame), JR suspended, and half the Bulls limping around wounded...ruined everything real quick.

In my opinion, he's finished based on reading this.

He has to get a 3rd opinion on the wrist in DC.

He can't open a bottle of Gatorade with the hand.

@Big Boss was right when he said its over.

The curse of Les Boulez strikes again.

In the next day or two, expect a breaking news alert that he's done. :to:
I love cynical and pessimistic fans like you breh. I'm a Chris Paul/Clipper fan so I feel your pain through the years. Just cause of that I'll be rooting for the Wiz the rest of the East playoffs, at least Hawks for sure. I hope you guys pull through

Yo what in teh actual the fukk is going on?
Silver needs to shorten the season or something

Players are asked to be doing more on both ends of the court than they ever were before. You watch teams play, there's far more movement on offence and defense both, and far less "taking plays off" in the regular season than there used to be. I remember when my Blazers in the late 1980s and early 1990s just used to score off of fast breaks and one-on-one action with less than 100% defense all game.

Now bigger, faster, more athletic guys are asked to be active and give 100% on both ends of the floor for far more of the season. Couldn't help but result in more injuries...they're doing more, doing it higher, and doing it tired.

If that's the case they should play a 65-70 game season.

Love and Wall's injury were both on impact/actual plays you can point out. Wear and tear had no real bearing on those two. Same with Mike Conley. Sefalosha got his leg broke by a cop. Most of the major injuries haven't been wear and tear.
