Ugh Paul George

[TheyCallMePro]

Okay guys...I watched the Kevin Ware injury in slow-motion replay, so I should be okay watching this right?

Avoiding it is almost as painful. Feel like I won't be able to in the end. Will someone just tell me it's not as bad as the Kevin Ware injury? Please?

I hope the monkeyball is just trolling. Like, you're legit the reason that the Spurs fanbase is as bad as the Heat fanbase or any fanbase (in the sense that every sports team fanbase has its equal share of lame s but it does feel like the Spurs fanbase feels itself a bit holier than thou undeservingly), the weirdass Euroball racist wads who think athleticism in a ing professional sport is crude/dumb or cheating or some bull .
NO FAIR AMERICAN BLACKS YOU CAN JUMP HIGHER AND RUN FASTER, IS NO COMPARISON TO GREAT SLAVIC BASKETBALL!!!!!! DUMB MONKEYBALL!!!
they're in like, every basketball youtube comment section talking that bull and they're almost always Spurs fans latching onto the Spurs so they create this super lame concept where it's like the Spurs style of basketball is the "Beautiful Game" and the only right way for basketball to be appreciated. Like, I can watch Spurs passing and the Spurs system and intensely appreciate its beauty and I can also watch a Clippers alleyoop dunk and appreciate its beauty without snarkily rolling my eyes at how athletic this professional athlete is and inserting subtly racist bull about monkeyball. Obviously the fact I'm a Spurs fan means I appreciate watching Spurs basketball more than the latter, but as a fan of basketball I can see the beauty in both in their own ways. Seriously what a bunch of lameass Eurotrash typically.
Like, Pop and the franchise developed a system over time based on the reality of our assets and the makeup of our team. If we had had some hyperathletic young superstar prodigy then we may have modeled and adapted to that. Why's discussion of basketball playing style gotta get ideological ("this is the right way!!!!!") and borderline racial? wack

I love watching the Spurs play, I love watching them play more than any other team out there, but honestly if you look at some super athlete doing an awesome alleyoop dunk or some crazy athletic feat and react to that by sniffing condescendingly and rolling your eyes about how it's not purist basketball and it's monkeyball and blahblah you straight up need to wipe the off your lips.

Not as bad. But just as painful to watch

[spursparker9]

Agreed. All are painful to watch.

[TheyCallMePro]

Yeah it's not nearly as bad. Sickening, but somehow Kevin Ware's was so much worse. Had to hold back throw-up after seeing that one.

In other news, Derek Rose sets all-star break as target for return...

[howbouthemspurs]

That was just horrible!! I hope he gets better... But this may be a career ender though!

[phxspurfan]

Paul George was a man on the court after that horrific injury.

Yup. I've seen grown ass men cry like little es after spraining ankles. This was almost life threatening and he took it like a boss.

It's not career ending. Look at the recent Nfl players that have come back from complete breaks. But he is done for the season for sure. It was a compound fracture and you can see the bone puncture the skin on the replay. with today's science, they will be able to repair and fuse any nerve damage as well. He will just be playing with a pin in his leg from now on.

Intl play other than the Olympics. US is already qualified. This tournament was meaniless to them. Plus the base of tha basket was to f'in close to the baseline. What were the US Basketball officials thinking letting those player play with such a glaring hazard.

Former Spur /blue
Heart goes out to the George family and Pacer Nation.
Wishing for a strong recovery.

Apparently its a lot better to break a bone than it is to tear an ACL, so at least the worst possible scenario didn't happen.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

I would think the real risk are the arteries and hoping he still gets perfusion to the distal extremity.

True story. One looks more gruesome, but an ACL tear in the long run causes players more problems than a broken shin bone ever will. Assuming there's no neuro--vascular problems, he should be fine. Plus, when you break a bone it actually grows back stronger.

Regardless, my prayers are out there for him and his family

if its the US govt, well, good for them

the US government, being the servant of the evil dark polarity Sirius empire, should really start to behave as adults, and serve humanity.....

Good news for the Pacers is that the eastern conference is so terrible that the Pacers are still a playoff team without George. If all goes well with his recovery, he could be back at full strength right as the playoffs roll around.

[DPG21920]

What a weird tweet. I bet harden still went out though

[Richie]

The Pacers are still committed to George long term, they need to be very careful with his recovery. No reason to try to bring him back next season, aim for a return for 15-16.

Is it worth them blowing it up? They basically have two assets, Hibbert and Hill, but both could be considered overpaid. West could have some value but he's 33. Are any of them worth a first rounder?
