[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (OCT)

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Happy New Year, everybody!

The clear consensus is that this season is a foregone conclusion, but I'll be god damned if TNT's opening video package didn't get me hyped as ****!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Gordon Hayward just broke his leg.

Gordon Hayward just broke his leg.

Luck of the Irish?

Looked like an ankle dislocation to me. Probably broke part of his fibula in the process but I think he could be back from that before the end of the year.

That seems optimistic.

It could be a career ender.

Doubtful unless he somehow jacked his knee up in the process. If it's the ankle I've seen players with this same injury before and they've come back.

Not just the ankle and lower leg, I believe.
Not gonna go look for a replay for obvious reasons but I think his knee buckled too when he landed. An absolutely horrific injury that didn't look worse than Kevin Ward's simply because Hayward was wearing long socks.

That injury was awful.

I watched it again, I didn't see anything with the knee or leg or there was no appearance of that but the MRI will show the extent. Like I said, there will probably be a break in the leg bones, maybe both because there usually is with this type of injury.

Did you heard that loud snap? I think he is done for a looong time.

Maybe, but career ending would be really, really unusual. The snap could have been what I described above or even soft tissue, a tendon. This is getting way too gross, sorry.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not sure how it's possible but Lebron seems to have somehow gotten even better at seeing the court over the offseason

 

[206Fan]

Lebron has my vote for GOAT. I don't think we will ever see a player like him again. It's going to be a sad day when he retires. I feel like the NBA world was fortunate to get Kobe right after MJ.

 

[King Baller]

Yep you could hear it on TV. It was an ugly injury. Foot was pointed the wrong way.

 

[King Baller]

Fractured left ankle.

 

[King Baller]

Ainge will need to make a trade. He does not have enough offensive punch with Hayward out.

 

[SacTownKid]

With the east the way it is, the C's should still be in contention for a nice playoff seed. He's got like 6-7 months so I think that will be within his window.

He's out for the season. There's no way he'll return until next year.

 

[Tetsujin]

In case there was any doubt, Lebron is still the best basketball player in the universe.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I would love it if this game could somehow last long enough that TNT wouldn't get to show Golden State's ring ceremony.

Come on, double OT!

 

[Tetsujin]

29 pts/16 rbs/9 ast/2 blks.

At a certain point, you just have to admire how effortless he makes it look.

Celtics Coach Brad Stevens says Gordon Hayward has a dislocated ankle & a fractured tibia. On his way back to Boston tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Aaaaaaaaaand Omri just hurt himself again

 

[LoungeLizard]

Warriors lose! This season is starting of great!

 

[Tetsujin]

Aside from the traumatic bone snapping, yeah

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Luck of the Irish?

I'm guessing all his power (and health) was in his old haircut

 

[VF21]

Gordon Hayward just broke his leg.

Dude, when your own bench pretty much all turns away in horror, you know there's a BIG problem. I couldn't watch the replay but dislocating an ankle and breaking your tibia doesn't sound good.

Bobby Portis apparently sucker punched Nikola Mirotic after a shoving match and broke his jaw. I can't believe with millions on the line somebody could be that dumb.

Holy crap.

I have not seen Eric Gordon doing the sort of stuff he did vs GSW since he was a Clipper, really shame injuries took him out for long stretches because he was a insane athlete. Donovan Mitchell from Utah reminds me a bit of young EG but more intense on D.
