Fucking A I just saw the replay. I feel like I could hear it snap. That was pretty nasty

[RD2191]

Why this didn't happen to Draymond or Curry has me questioning my beliefs. TBH

[tonight...you]

I shed a tear for Gordon and what he is going to go through, but I laugh heartily at Celtic fans.

They suck like hoovers.

[Leetonidas]

Should have been Durant tbh

[Dex]

Ugh. That shit was gruesome. Probably a season-ender...maybe even career.

Not even 6 minutes in and already the NBA landscape has been altered...

I don't feel bad for him. His family is set for generations to come.

I suppose but they weren't going to beat Cleveland in a series anyway so once again James has a free pass to the finals

[gambit1990]

just tuned in. not in a hurry to see the replay.

pros for kyrie: he gets more fanfare (which is what he wants most) and gets an excuse for losing to the cavs in the playoffs (would’ve happened even if hayward was healthy).

[SAGirl]

Ugh. That shit was gruesome. Probably a season-ender...maybe even career.

That is why the games are played. Spurs arent out of the woods with their own share of injuries either. Hopefully quadriceps of guys get healthy tbh

[Seventyniner]

And people wonder why players will usually pick long-term security over (for example) taking a QO when restricted to test unrestricted free agency the following year.

[bklynspursfan]

Yea. Amazing how quickly things can change.

Sucks so much for Hayward. Seems like a legit good dude too. I hope he can make a full recovery. Boston had lots of potential this year

[SAGirl]

And people wonder why players will usually pick long-term security over (for example) taking a QO when restricted to test unrestricted free agency the following year.
Agree. It can be over in the blink of an eye. Stars may even get chances at come backs, look at Rudy Gay.... guys who are roleplayers like Mario Chalmers have to try out in training camps basically for free and make a team from scratch. Got to get paid as soon as possible... Also, can't ask young players to give discounts. They are out to make as much as they possibly can b4 it's over.

Are the celtics going to regret trading Isaiah thomas. He was the heart and soul of that team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Praying it happens to Durant except it's his knee that looks like a Tetris piece.

[raybies]

felt disturbed after seeing it, couldn't stomach watching the game so had to take a break. Feel so bad for the Celts. Never want to see that kind of injury happen to any player.

[RD2191]

Just noticed the sponsor's on the jerseys, not a fan at all.

[davidbowie]

if that happened to kawhi i'd prob cry and then jump out the window

It's a broken ankle. There are a lot of ligaments in there. This isn't like Paul George injury. It is worse.

Sucks for Hayward. Looks really really bad. Could be that it's shattered and he'll never be quite the same again.

But Celtics will be fine if Tatum and Brown develop. Plus they still have the Nets pick (but not the other great first). For this year though, this is where the Kyrie trade / other roster moves really hurt given the depth they lost.

If he didn't have socks on, it would be graphic as hell, but seeing that pick didn't bother me. I'm not really talking about this thread, though. On RealGM, they're threatening to ban people who post the pic or vid unless they put it in a spoiler and have a content warning. Pussies.

bad omen for the NBA, its opening night and this happens

[BSfromTX]

Joe theisman was a bad one

[cutewizard]

Will he ever play again??

[Spurtacular]

Why the fuck are the C's throwing an alley oop in traffic that early in a charged game?

Also, Lebron with a reckless challenge at first glance, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

Will he ever play again??

My guess would be he'll get pins and be back in April. This sucks though. I thought he'd be a dark horse MVP candidate. And now we may never see if he'll fulfill his potential. And like Paul George, he'll probably be a fraction of his old self upon coming back.

[SPURt]

I’m hearing no ligament damage. He may be back before Isaiah Thomas.

[exstatic]

No they don’t. It went to Cleveland for Kyrie.

[Spurtacular]

I’m hearing no ligament damage. He may be back before Isaiah Thomas.

I'm not a medical expert; but the fact that his foot was twisted about eighty degrees out of place would hint at severity to me.

[tmtcsc]

Youngn's never saw Joe Theisman's injury apparently. Anderson Silva maybe? Shit, Odell Beckham just suffered something similar.

What happened with Anderson Silva? I only started watching MMA this year. I have heard of Joe Theisman's, how bad was that?

Also made a number of players vomit on the court and then into trash bins

[cjw]

No they don’t. It went to Cleveland for Kyrie.

You're right, I'm getting my picks confused. They picked up the extra lottery pick from Philly in the Fultz pick trade. My bad.

[tmtcsc]

What happened with Anderson Silva? I only started watching MMA this year. I have heard of Joe Theisman's, how bad was that?

Anderson Silva's shin snapped in half when his kick was blocked by his opponent's knee. Theisman's shin snapped in half when he was sacked by Lawrence Taylor in 1986. It happened on Monday Night Football and was a compound fracture where the bone breaks the skin. You could see blood on his sock.

[BackHome]

Got to give Hayword props I would be screaming like a little girl all the way to the Hospital. Lol

[SnakeBoy]

They're saying dislocated ankle plus tibial fracture. If he got lucky and didn't tear anything he could be back Jan-Feb.

[Arcadian]

When you jump for a lob, land on the side of your ankle, and your foot is facing the wrong direction...you're gonna have a bad time.


Looks like all those Mormon prayers paid off.

:lol

But thanks to modern science-based medicine, he'll probably be fine in a few months.

[BillMc]

In other opening night news, Chris Paul looks wasted and possibly old in Rockets offense.

[TheDoctor]

Keep your prayers homies. Raymond out for the game w/ a strained knee.

[SPURt]

I'm not a medical expert; but the fact that his foot was twisted about eighty degrees out of place would hint at severity to me.
The report I saw said 4 to 5 months putting a return as early as late January. Would be crazy if he only misses half the season after that craziness. He broke his tibia and dislocated his foot at the ankle but didn’t tear any ligaments or suffer structural damage.

[tmtcsc]

Lol, Houston with a win over GS after Green went out. Without Green the Dubs would be nowhere near as good. As for Houston, CP3 being CP3. King of the nagging injuries. Perennial loser.

[Robz4000]

Lol, Houston with a win over GS after Green went out. Without Green the Dubs would be nowhere near as good. As for Houston, CP3 being CP3. King of the nagging injuries. Perennial loser.

If Green actually misses time they just slide in Jordan Bell in the SL on D and let Durant/Curry be playmakers a bit more often.

[peacemaker885]

Celtics wont play him this year. Based on their moves, they are gunning for next year when LBJ leaves Cleveland.

[BillMc]

Lol, Houston with a win over GS after Green went out. Without Green the Dubs would be nowhere near as good. As for Houston, CP3 being CP3. King of the nagging injuries. Perennial loser.

Agree with all this. Curry and Durant may via for league MVP, but Green is definitely their team MVP.

And CP3 is a loser. Glad we didn't get him. His injuries are only going to be more common. Not worth the cash.

I could see that; it did seem to just twist out of place before he had even finished landing it seemed like. Maybe not as bad as initially supposed.

[tbdog]

Since when is 4 to 5 months late January? 4 months is mid February. That's the earliest from that tweet.

[Uriel]

Draymond Green and Chris Paul also got injured. Today is a good day to be a Spurs fan.

[phxspurfan]

bad omen for the NBA, its opening night and this happens

Well if there was ever any doubt about Draymond being the glue guy. Mini 3-1 episode today when Dray not there to bail out their ass.

It happened twice to Djibril Cissé.

Why can't this happen to fuckface donkey

[MVPCues]

Just watched it. It wasn't nearly as bad to watch as it was made out to be, IMO. I was a kid when watching the Theismann game. That was harsh.

I'm in the "it could be a clean break with no ligament damage" camp. When I was a teen I saw an ankle snap on a trampoline. Ankle made a full U turn. Brutal to witness first hand, everyone freaked out. The poor girl totally lost it. She was fine, typical cast and healing time. Granted she wasn't a world class athlete...just saying.

Celts are saying it's a clean break, no ligament or nerve damage. So he should be able to recover from it...guess time will tell.

Suddenly Kawhi's quad injury doesn't seem quite as bad, and we don't even know what the hell is going on with it.

Jae was cold-blooded, but he got his revenge.

[Darius Bieber]

Would have preferred it to happen to Curry or Durant, not someone like Gordon tbh

[lefty]

So this is somewhat Spurs related?

Was it steve lyons who was running to first and broke his leg, and it was dangling as he went to the bag......it was ugly.

I thought be broke it hitting the bag and hobbled past first.

[UZER]

I remember watching the Slamball tryouts before the first season. Some dude came down on the trampoline and you can just see everyone immediately just scrambling hysterically. The shot was from the far end of the court and just a brief glimpse shows his foot just dangling. It was disgusting.

Some dudes just walked out that day and didn't come back.

[tmtcsc]

I remember Moises Alou of the Montreal Expos breaking his foot / dislocating his ankle when sliding in to second base. 1991?
