If they're rehabbing an injury it could actually make sense. Amare Stoudemire was already a max deal player when he tore his ACL. The next summer he played Summer League to get some 5x5 action going. I could see a game or two in Austin for similar purposes.
Something to look forward to if we're up 20 or down 20...
nah he'll start son
you crazy brah
as if scrah! confidence!
Red Mamba mentoring Baynesy, we a machine.
It was "a plan"... love the wording he uses there... Basically saying, "Hey thanks for the thought and effort but I hope to I won't have to go back there again."
Seems he left out the quote about getting kneed & knocked off balance too. I guess we can all assume it must not have happened.
Or we can assume neither was unusual nor a big deal at all.
Slip the aluminum foil hat off Billy Ray.
Too many B-level Big Boys... :p
Do you even realize how crazy you are?
very well done with the lack of highlights.
On twitter he seems to have embraced the nickname a tad when some have tweeted it to him.
Going to see him and the crew tomorrow night in Minneapolis...first row, center court, bench side...pretty stoked.
LOL @ thinking a 7 footer weighing close to 260-270 going down hard and awkwardly after doing a full on vertical is no big thing. You're the crazy buffoon here.
I GUARAN- ING-TEE you his career flashed before his eyes when he came down HARD and AWKWARDLY and he is VERY thankful to have been called back up from that hole you cherish so much.
All of a sudden every time a player falls down its supposed to be a career ending injury, not sure what you're smoking tjastal...
This wasn't some 6'2" 180 lb waterbug like Tony Parker (although it would have been risky even so)...we're talking about a guy who is approximately a foot taller and close to 100 lbs heavier. The risk of a serious injury from a nasty fall like that goes up ten-fold if not a hundred-fold. Plus we are not talking about a casual fall here you numbnutz. The guy was in a full vertical jump, and his vertical is quite impressive for a man his size. Think about it for a second, and if you still think it was no big deal and nothing to worry about, I want the name and number of your doctor because he must be prescribing you some really nice weed.
You can't guarantee anything. Breathlessly bolding text doesn't make your opinion true. You're trying like to confirm your bias and it just isn't working. Dude had a niggle that could have happened anywhere at any level.
I don't cherish Bakersfield. Austin is nice though tbh.
Reading your takes is like listening to a parrot .. "Dude had a niggle!" "Dude had a niggle!" "Squuuuawwwkkk!"..
What you fail to acknowledge (along with your buddy chapnis) is the potential that existed for a serious injury to occur on a play like that, given the cir stances (Baynes' size & 30 inch vertical).
Yes indeed he ended up with a "niggle". And he was damn lucky that's all it turned out to be.
Unfortunately you will probably read this and it will fail to register anything.. The only thing that will pop into your brain will be the "Dude had a niggle!" catchphrase and then your brain will shortcircuit and auto-reset, and you will begin to blather on about your current likes and dislikes of your favorite league.

A big player falling and a small player falling have the same risk for injury.
Yes the big player falls further, but he also has bigger bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Only a complete moron would say a 7 foot person has 100x more likely to get an injury falling the same way a 6 foot person does.
There is potential for injury in practice, for anything. What you fail to acknowledge is that it just isn't as big a deal as you want it to be. Your agenda took another hit. Sorry, I know you thought you had something there.
Seriously, you are pretty much the only person in the world who is still trying to make an issue of this. I know you wish he tore an ACL or rupure an Achilles so you could be proved right. Didn't work out for you this time.

I don't need to wish serious injury on Baynes in order to prove the point, it was made quite clearly without. To reiterate: In the D league you have a lot of sloppy, stupid players; who by their very nature put other players at risk. Add to that you also have disgruntled players. With most likely fading nba dreams, who will not hesitate to employ cheap shots to other players, and especially those players who are clearly much more talented than they. It seems to be a dangerous proposition for a player who won't be seeing big minutes anyway. I think the coaching staff will think twice in the future before sending a valuable commodity like Baynes there for such a frivolous reason. Was the risk worth the reward? Hardly. Baynes would have gotten his wind with steady 10-15 bursts in due time.
Well, you don't watch Spurs games, so it's more than safe to say you've never watched a D-League game either; your elaborate theory has no basis in fact.
You're completely full of .
Tjastals is full of . But he really seems to enjoy getting on in here. Think the proper term is called Scatophilia. Kinda creepy tbh.
