Durant Fractures Foot - Path To Finals Clear Again?

[100%duncan]

Thanks. Wow, that sucks for Washington.

[baseline bum]

Yao and Walton had fifth-metatarsal injuries. So did Outlaw, Roddy B, Damion James. I just bumped timvp's post on the matter from a couple of years ago.

Great bump. Wow, that's pretty scary. As much as I hate Durant for being on a rival, he'd be one of my 3 or 4 favorite non-Spurs players in the game if he was out East.

Live press conference on it. Sam Presti is speaking

Was it clear last year?

I got Russell Westbrook leading the league in scoring through the New Year.

Path To Finals Clear Again? That's some weak right there. It wasn't clear last year and we dominated after a sluggish start against crappy Dallas. The Thunder are the Spurs with or without Durant. THEY HAVE NO BENCH.

jones has a high instance of re-fracture, better sit him good and long

i already struggle with the legitimacy of the 14 WCF due to a less than 100% ibaka. Durant, I hope to be 100% and give the Spurs a fight.

I hope he gets well soon. The league is better when its best players are at full strength and for all the criticisms that people level at him, there's no doubt that Kevin Durant is a ridiculously good basketball player.

It's a lot more fun competing for les in a league with bona fide superstars to go up against. Makes the wins all that much sweeter.

[Mark in Austin]

Man that sucks. I hope they don't try to rush him back. A talent like Durant is once in a generation. It would be a shame if a career like his is cut short.

Trading Harden keeps coming back and biting them in the ass.

[SpursFan86]

Is this the same injury that Yao had?

edit: nvm, just read the first page. That sucks

[Knoxxx]

My only regret is I did not place a bet on Spurs to repeat prior to this news.

This.

The path is clear unless Scott Brooks gets injured.

[Raven]

it really is irrelevant, spurs only depend from their own injuries and timmy-manu's form

[Brazil]

They might drop down to atleast the 4th seed though with this. West is stacked and Durant will not be 100% back so there goes their HCA.

Agreed 100%.

Lebum disagrees with you.

They won't perform as well, for about one month. That's it. They'll still beat the bad teams, and might lose a few games they otherwise wouldn't have. Hardly a big deal.

Isn't Reggie Jackson also out? The real problem for OKC will be not to overplay and injure Westbrook.

why did 100 get banned?

[xmas1997]

Always hate to hear about injuries even though it is a factor of the game, the luck factor.

Didn't read the other thread, did you. He may NEVER be 100% after this. It's the same thing that happened to former Spur James Anderson, former Mav Roddy Beaubois and others. The major effect is that it destroys your jump shot. He'll be back and playing in 6-8 weeks, he just may never be Kevin Durant again.

It really is. I don't mind though. No one gave a when Duncan got injured on the way to his first le defense and no one gave a when Juwan Howard injured Derek Anderson who was balling for the Spurs at the time. Just part of the game.
