probably not after a game where he's being outplayed by Tim HardawayAt what point would Luka get frustrated with the Mavericks roster?
But he's not a clutch scorer . . .Leonard is not going to let them lose.
he’s got..... wait for it.... wait for it.....Kristaps is such trash, I remember when we all thought he was gonna be a superstar.
2 years.At what point would Luka get frustrated with the Mavericks roster?
We got 1 game left.So about that Luka > Kawhi chatter...
Road teams 0-6. What a weird series.
Don’t say that too loud or someone will tell you he’s not a max player.I fucking love you, Kawhi.
Yeah, me. Ive been waiting for this for 2 years. Need another one on Sunday.Don’t say that too loud or someone will tell you he’s not a max player.
God this puts management in an almost impossible position unless Kidd's actually the guy they want. You either cave to your superstar and let him pick the coach or you piss him off.View: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1401036273129713668
LOL, Dame coming straight out and asking for Kidd.
Great news. Hopefully takes him off the table for BOS
See, if this sort of thing is what you were referring to, we agree that Jayson Tatum isn't likely to follow suit.View: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1401036273129713668

Fortunately, we get to root for a player who never complains ever: Jayson Tatum. /syeah, i find the incessant complaining about complaining players to be lame: these guys are hyper competitive, of course they're gonna complain all the time. It's also a bit ironic to complain about others complaining. That said, Doncic is in his own tier and it does detract from enjoying his amazing game.
Something really slipped post-injury. He was a different player prior to that in NY. Surprising to see a guy his age not be able to get it back with time and recovery.Kristaps is such trash, I remember when we all thought he was gonna be a superstar.
It's also good news because it sounds like Dame won't be demanding a trade to one of our competitors.View: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1401036273129713668

Oh, shit. Stop!I also agree with @scottyno . Lillard is essentially forcing them to hire Kidd or trade him...
I wouldn't mind having Brunson at the point in Boston.Kleber
Kristaps
Brunson
Richardson
Finney
all upgradeable
He’d be a low ceiling replacement for Kemba but how do you get him......and how do you get rid of Kemba’s contract?I wouldn't mind having Brunson at the point in Boston.
Yep, that is the big question hanging over this team right now.He’d be a low ceiling replacement for Kemba but how do you get him......and how do you get rid of Kemba’s contract?
Would kill to have Brunson on Celtics. He’s Really good. If we had him instead of Kemba and then filled the rest of Kemba money with 2 or 3 other guys we would be in business. But, alas, not happening.I wouldn't mind having Brunson at the point in Boston.
He has an on the record Dame quote. Haynes is a water carrier, but in this case we aren't worried about the prediction it's that Dame made an on the record quote that he wants Kidd.Haynes is to Jason Kidd what Nick Cafardo, RIP, was to Bobby Valentine. Take anything he writes with a grain of salt.
Pritchard is the same size, is a comparable shooter to Brunson, and is under team control for low money. Boston should try to find a tall PG to replace Kemba, via trade or the draft, and continue to develop PP.I wouldn't mind having Brunson at the point in Boston.
Multiple knee surgeries including meniscus tears almost inevitably = degenerative arthritis. He is a different player now.Something really slipped post-injury. He was a different player prior to that in NY. Surprising to see a guy his age not be able to get it back with time and recovery.
You've mentioned this a couple times re ACL tears. Very interesting stuff, and crazy the degree to which it deteriorates.Multiple knee surgeries including meniscus tears almost inevitably = degenerative arthritis. He is a different player now.
All ACL tears are not created equal. Sometimes they are pretty clean without other damage, but quite often they are not.
I see 30 year olds 10 years out from an ACL tear with chronic knee pain all the time, quite often the graft is totally fine but the rest of the joint looks like they are 60 and ready for a total knee replacement.
It's not inevitable by any means. But when you see follow up meniscus surgeries down the line and/or a player's career arc drastically change (both true for Porzingis), that's a big red flag.You've mentioned this a couple times re ACL tears. Very interesting stuff, and crazy the degree to which it deteriorates.
Interestingly in the article posted to the Athletic Shams has a direct quote from Dame that he likes both Kidd and Chauncey. Haynes conveniently downplayed the Chauncey portion, which isn’t surprising considering the source.He has an on the record Dame quote. Haynes is a water carrier, but in this case we aren't worried about the prediction it's that Dame made an on the record quote that he wants Kidd.
Echoing love's kudos for the ACL info. Makes sense, if you imagine the injury. Sometimes the femur and tibia don't move all that much relative to each other, just enough to snap the ACL. Sometimes they do though. Robert Edwards is an extreme example. Reports that amputation was on the table, albeit briefly. Poor guy had basically everything in his knee torn.It's not inevitable by any means. But when you see follow up meniscus surgeries down the line and/or a player's career arc drastically change (both true for Porzingis), that's a big red flag.
Yup, exactly. Edwards definitely the extreme example. Everything tore, the femur and tibia completely dislocated, and caused an injury to the major artery behind the knee. That was the reason amputation was on the table.Echoing love's kudos for the ACL info. Makes sense, if you imagine the injury.

Yeah thanks for the info. Too bad DA didn't consult you before signing Kemba.Yup, exactly. Edwards definitely the extreme example. Everything tore, the femur and tibia completely dislocated, and caused an injury to the major artery behind the knee. That was the reason amputation was on the table.
Like you said, the "best" outcome is a relatively minor anterior tibial shift, just enough to snap the ACL but not cause other damage (aside from the almost inevitable bone contusions that happen 99% of the time).
Quite often there is no dislocation but enough of a shift to not only snap the ACL and cause bone contusions, but also cause a meniscus tear(s) and knock off some cartilage. The progression of the arthritis is hard to predict but it's definitely common.

As reported, 50–90% of ACL injuries progress to PTOA [6]. After ACL injury, grade III or IV radiologic changes in the Kellgren–Lawrence classification system are nearly 5 times more likely than in contralateral knees without a history of ACL injury [8].
PTOA = Post traumatic osteoarthritis, i.e. degenerative joint disease

How many lucrative gigs can SOSH doctors finagle?! This makes two of you.My private messages are wide open, and am happy to be of service.
For a nominal fee .
$10 sounds about right. I got a family to feed.How many lucrative gigs can SOSH doctors finagle?! This makes two of you.
