If McCollum didn't get hurt, this game would be over. Sucks for them. The game was getting really, really chippy before this happened and the refs didn't help by a few bad calls.
He made them dangerous. Too bad for him and Portland.
Discuss.

I don't know how dangerous Portland ever is, though.
Nurkic this game 31 pts 16 rbs 5 asts 2 st 4 blks
They're a first-round exit again.

That break was Paul George-esque. Yuck.
Just a play before Lillard was also banged up. That injury was brutal. Bad luck for Portland lately.
Another example of why Pop was right to pull LMA against Boston. You never know...
That ing sucks. You never wish that on anyone. He's one of the best centers in the league, so I hope he comes back strong.
if you break your leg, at least better not when chasing numbers during garbage time
Gotta say, I feel sorry for the dude. Wish him the best in his recovery.
Not to add insult to injury but not only did the injury look really bad but it’s right before the playoffs too, id be surprised if he even plays at all next year
Damn Lamarcus is the only talented big in their franchise history to make it out of Portland alive
Yep. And then the next year seems to be a slow ramp up physically and mentally if Hayward is any indication. OTOH, PG seems to have made a quicker and more complete mental recovery than has Hayward.
Sucks for Nurkic though.. He's definitely having his breakout year. He's the only one I've seen manhandle LA at any point this year. And he did it on several straight possessions. I feel bad for him and the Blazers because it more than likely just put the next two years in doubt as to how to move forward on roster construction.
Though his injury recovery could be less of a problem because he isn't a big jumper. Or conversely, it could be even worse because he's probably every bit of 280 which might make a recovery all that much harder.
Sucks.
And is it just me or are these "land wrong" things happening more frequently or are they just more publicized than 30years ago?? Strange phenomena.
Dude was beasting this season .Portland really is cursed
What the ? The entire history of the Blazers franchise is a tragic tale of misfortune and woe.
Sucks that it happened to a decent human being while a piece of in Toronto is living it up with bull "Load Management" and only out for himself trying to kill franchises.
Calmate, pancho
LMA did just fine with that curse. So did Rasheed Wallace, Damon Stoudamire, Big Daddy Sabonis, ZBo, Drexler, Terry Porter, in' Cliff Robinson...
Give it time.LMA wants to go back there,doesn't he?
Yea, smart teams gonna be gunning for the sweep the Blazers sweepstakes, tbh.
Did you see the ref walking pass Nurkic and accidentally kicked his broken leg. These refs are blind as this season.
It's a broken bone and not a tendon,meaning bones heal just fine and stronger and when you get your conditioning back you're good to go.
The mental recovery is the hurdle you must overcome,PG did a better job at it than what Hayward has done so far.
It's not just "landing wrong",compared to 30 years ago,i mean.Athletes are way heavier muscle wise than what they were 30 years ago cause they have technology at their side to maximize their muscle growth.
Nurk is a 290 pounds athlete.He might seem lean compared to some players in the 90's but he's one heavy dude.Landing off balance on one leg is a disaster waiting to happen,with all that weight coming down to a bone from an awkward angle.
No it's not.Patella snaps,double acl's and achilles tears are career enders in some occasions (most occasions).Multiple stress microfractures as well.
A bone heals.A clean bone break is gruesome and hard to look at,but it heals.
I hope an injury like this would happen to Kawhi.
Even better if it happens during the playoffs.
