Holy crap. That is awesome.The Hornets are playing for their playoff lives...
I was just thinking about Jeremy Lamb today. Now he can be known for this amazing one off, as opposed to being known as one of the guys traded for James Harden.The Hornets are playing for their playoff lives...
Whatever it was, things weren't where they were supposed to be. Gnarly.bloodbath in Portland. I just heard Nurk's knee pop through the TV. He's done.
I've never heard that sound before while watching a game. Either a bone snapped or a ligament tore in halfWhatever it was, things weren't where they were supposed to be. Gnarly.
It was crazy. Every player on the court immediately walked away from him. They knew. Awful.I've never heard that sound before while watching a game. Either a bone snapped or a ligament tore in half
He was really having a great season. It just sucks.Super regular guy. Just moved in down the street. This is crushing for folks in PDX.
I’m thinking he may not be out of the woods yet as far as life altering problems here nevermind basketball. Where are the docs tonight?He's gotta be out next year also. That's horrific.
This is such a killer injury for the team and the guy. Especially because the game could have easily been over by the time it happened. Just brutal.Early report: Compound tibia/fibula fracture, no ankle involvement.
Player D: 27-5-4 on 46/44/81 shooting.Don't forget...
Player C: 31-5-7 on 45-33-89 shooting (.586 ts)
Devin Booker
The All-NBA guard spots are going to be interesting. Harden, Curry, Lillard are locks. Then you have to pick between Westbrook, Kyrie, CP3, Klay, Kemba, Mitchell, Ben Simmons, Beal, etc. All of those guys have flaws and you could argue that any of them could also make the 2nd team. I'd probably go Westbrook, Mitchell and Irving but I can accept almost any other answer.Player D: 27-5-4 on 46/44/81 shooting.
Donovan Mitchell
Is Simmons categorized as a guard or forward for All-NBA purposes? Don’t know if he makes it either way, but an interesting wrinkle.The All-NBA guard spots are going to be interesting.

While I think that Lebron may fall to third team, I am unsure if he should. He has played same amount of games as Kawhi - but didn't have the generous "load management" routine going. Lebron is still putting up a ridiculous 27.5 PTS, 8.6 REBS, 8.1 ASSTIs Simmons categorized as a guard or forward for All-NBA purposes? Don’t know if he makes it either way, but an interesting wrinkle.
The forward spots are pretty interesting too. Lots of speculation about LeBron - he could very easily wind up not on the First Team for the first time since 2007, and maybe even fall to Third Team, behind Giannis, Durant, PG, and Kwahi.
Seems like a reasonable starting point1. Curry, Harden, Durant, Giannis, Jokic
2. Lillard, Beal, George, LeBron, Embiid
3. Kemba, Klay, Kawhi, Griffin, Towns
So it should have been a 3-point play?Lance stepped on his foot.
If my math is correct, that puts the Lakers in a 17-17 tie with the Celtics for all-time championships.
More like a 98-17 lead, if you judge by the reaction of the Lakers bench.If my math is correct, that puts the Lakers in a 17-17 tie with the Celtics for all-time championships.
I do not know if you are serious or not. Green jabbed his left foot outside of Green’s shoulder length which is the same as a tripping violation if he attempted to penetrate past him and stepped on his foot. It really should have been a 3-point play.That really was a pretty egregious offensive foul. Kudos to Stephenson for pulling it off.
OKC pulled it out. That game on Friday is going to be quite important.OKC finally pulled their head out of their ass with a great 3rd quarter and now leads Indiana. Celtics need this one.
Hope he's back soon, but 41 weeks from now is mid January, so I wonder what their plan would be. Ease him back over last 4 months of season and hope he can contribute in postseason?Update on Nurkic from an area orthopedic surgeon (not clear if he's his ortho or just some guy The Oregonian called for an expert opinion): Average recovery is 41 weeks. In other words, might not miss a lot of 2019-20.
