2018-2019 Around The NBA thread

Svi is a good prospect too for a pretty average vet. Maybe the Cavs can get Josh Hart for Burks.

Hurt himself in his home? What?

partially torn achilles. Dang that is crazy. Is there any info on partially vs totally torn achilles?

Can’t tell if sarcasm lol, did I word something wrong?

 

[iMoeJoe]

The start of something bigger?

No I just can't believe he tripped and ripped his Achilles. You did fine, Wall screwed up big time.

Lol sometimes I wonder who plays for the love of the game and who plays strictly for money. Gotta wonder about Wall.

 

[iMoeJoe]

John Wall out for next 12 months. Hurt himself in his home. Wtf, that's the worst contract in the league. They should just have a fire sale, since they’re gonna suck this year and next and probably any year as long as Wall is on the team. His game is built around athleticism and that may be gone.

I guess the Wizards read my post lol. Every big name besides Wall, Beal, Ariza, Dwight Howard gone.

I got nothing... except this guy went 0-10 vs the warriors today, and for each miss he had to add an extra inch to the top of his head.

You can tear those without physical contact..there was a Browns player who tore his just back peddling.
Sometimes it is a non contact injury.
I sustained mine from contact on the court.
But ESPN ran something on their ticker tron which made no sense ,that this was a underline injury from the previous one.

I was watching NBA tv and someone on there said when they did the heel surgery on Wall, the doctors thought he would need a surgery on his Achilles in the future.

I would even say it's usually a non-contact injury. i find it easier to tear the achilles with a bad movement or poor absorption of impact when landing or something like that than with some kind of hit from someone else. What i find weird is someone tearing it alone at home. Not impossible, but it's a freak injury to say the least.

Suck it Boston.

That Laker meltdown the other night was hilarious but I have to sound the trumpets for my guy Rajon Rondo. HE is one of the reasons the Lakers will win a title, eventually. I wanted him on the Cavs so bad last year it wasn't funny. Yeah, I know, he has no jump shot. Scoring isn't really important with the Point Demigod, it's making sure everyone else does. And there are few in the league better than that than he.

He might have been the first Boston Celtic I actually liked without conditions (even more when they were battling the Heat). Now that he isn't wearing that uniform it's easier to like the guy (as a basketball player).

If only the Cavs could find someone like that in the draft. Maybe there's someone the Cavs can grab with that 2nd 1st that will have those skills. We need them.

He's actually been a serviceable shooter this year, 42% from 3 and 43% from 16+ feet.

Giannis, to me, is the easy MVP.

Watching him play both ends and the amount he has to do on offense to set up his team, this is the best regular season player since 2012-13 LeBron. Best weak-side defender in the league, most unstoppable player getting to the rim I think I've ever seen. If he ever, ever manages to shoot, he has a chance to be every bit as good as LeBron. Now..it doesn't appear he's ever gonna learn how to shoot, so that'll stop him from reaching top 5 status. But it's REAL easy to see this guy entering the top 15 of all time discussion.

 

[Phil Mixtape]

So if Kyrie doesn't believe the earth is round, I wonder how he feels about karma? It's a bitch dude. Celtics going down like the titanic. Also, every time something like this happens you gotta think his market value takes a hit.
