Somebody needs to tear Ibaka's calf, tbh..

If you're going to play hurt, you're risking exploitation of your injury.

now we just need someone to photoshop baynes and ibakas faces on this picture

Ibaka is not hurt and never truly was.

So he missed two games for the balls of it? Right....

If you're going to play hurt, you're risking exploitation of your injury..Spurs need to take advantage, tbh, end this -ass 's career..

Stay classy.

[rascal]

Twice or more he came out of a play apparently hurt, bent over, grimacing, but not holding his leg. Perhaps he made it worse.

I think he's really hurt. Wonder if he will play Game4.

Spur fans only hope is for injuries.

So he missed two games for the balls of it? Right....

Of course not. But let's say he actually had a Grade 1 strain, which means ~10 days out.

If OKC says "Grade 1, back in Game 3" then the Spurs certainly give more effort to be sure they win the first 2 games before he comes back.

If OKC says "Grade 2, out for the playoffs" there's a chance Spurs players think it's going to be an easy series anyway, drop their guard and OKC steals HCA.

I think it's a good strategy, and something other organisations should learn from: always pretend an injury is much worse than it actually is.

No neeed to tear his calf, just start punching him in the nuts and maybe break his nose and see how long it takes for him to start crying like a

[chrhawk]

I still think Ibaka played out of desperation once OKC realized that this wasn't going to be a compe ive series tbh. There really is no point in lying about the extent of an injury, you're not going to get the better of the Spurs in psychological warfare.

We'll see how Ibaka looks with just one day of rest tomorrow. Someone needs to test that calf though.

He did hobble after one play in the 2nd or 3rd, although I'm not sure if it was the calf..

He stayed in the game and waived Brooks off but then again he's literally a religious re who thinks God miraculously healed his calf for a ing basketball game when some poor child is drowning and dying at this very instant. That sort of mentality sickens me to no end. It's the epitome of arrogance. God cares about his stupid ass calf for a basketball game but fails to save poor, helpless children from dying agonizing deaths at the hands of nature.

Damn mate, that's some deep for Spurstalk lol
