Tristan Thompson

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Khloe is courtside. Can we blame her for TT losing his teeth and potentially breaking his ironman streak?
You can play basketball without teeth. It’s gonna take something monumental to stop the ironman streak.
 
Anyone have a video of what happened? I missed it. Sounds bad though.
 
Lue said Tristan got his "teeth knocked in or up...it's nasty...he's messed up." Then said, he doubts the streak is in jeopardy: "He came back on the bench with his mouth piece, smiling and everything. I don't think he feels too much pain."

Hope he can avoid dental surgery.
 
Wouldn't mind if he missed a game. Then he can give up this ironman streak and rest with the rest of the starters on occasion.

He looks fine. Says the dentist had to pop his teeth back in. Has a small brace up front. He was talking fine.

I doubt he misses any time.
 
I wonder if Thompson is wearing down. He's averaging 30 mpg after averaging 27.7 last year.

I wouldn't probably say anything but for the stark difference in his defensive numbers the last 6 weeks.

before Feb. 1 TT was 102.8 points per 100 possession
since Feb. 1 TT is 114.8 pCp

The team has gone from 105.5 to 110.6 before/after, so the team's doing worse, but Tristan's done far worse. some of this is just not having Love next to him to help bang. But I wonder if it might be more, and a sign of his knee tendinitis issues.

The last thing this team needs is its best/only rim protector having knee/exhaustion issues.

May not be happening, may just be the whole team's issue integrating new players, but it's enough of a change to wonder if that's all there is, imo.
 
A toothless TT would somehow get every damn board a game.

Uh, I'm not sure that's how teeth work. o_O:bigshock:
He said his 2 front teeth got knocked back (dislocated) even with the mouthpiece in. The roots were still in place but the teeth were driven back out of place, bleeding. If he would not have had a mouthpiece the teeth probably would have gotten knocked completely out or broken.

A dentist numbed the area and yes, he popped them back into their normal place in the tooth sockets. Then he put a metal brace on them to keep them in place until they heal.

I hope they at least shorten his minutes some. Maybe bring Sanders back up for some burn.

Ouch... hope he heals up

So our Canadian friend is getting blacker every day.

First he is dating a Kardashian, now he was fitted with gold teeth for protection?

Keep this up and Tristan will lose his Canadian citizenship.
