2013 NBA Playoffs |OT| Lakers started from the bottom, and they still there

uhhh no.
We'll still beat the Rox, and we still might make it to the WCF, but any hope of a title is over. Not like wouldn't have been huge underdogs against Miami anyways.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
This fucking sucks, I've never seen so many injuries to big name players in all my years watching the NBA.

I agree with this the amount of injuries is alot. It has kinda ruined the playoffs. That Harden trade is looking real bad about right now.

Damn YNB. Hopefully someone will check the fuck out of Beverly next game, and Durantula morphs into his final form.

Kevin Martin is shooting .33% for this series so far
There's a good chance that the Thunder could lose.

Despite all the shit we throw at him, Ynot is a one of a kind player. He´s great.
I´ve always believed the Thunder were just KD + Ynot and a bunch of scrubs, and i was mentioning the other day with a friend that if one of the two went down they would be in big trouble.
That will be interesting to see. If somehow we´re all crazy and Scotty is a genious, then they will be fine.
If things go as i expect, they will have trouble beating the Rockets and will lose 4-1 to the Clippers.

I know, we almost beat em shooting like shit, without our starting pg, and with Perkins mauling Parsons. If any of those things didn't happen we could have stole game two. That said, team usually respond after losing a player.

Really sucks about Westbrook. Beverly really did a bitch move.
Of course it's terrible if you're a DWill fan.

WTF, wow that is horrible about Westbrook. Sorry to all OKC fans, no one wants to see this. I was totally looking forward to a rematch.
So now who is coming out of the west? Spurs? Clips? Memphis?

I'm gonna go with OKC for the finals still. KD is gonna show what he's made of and carry his team on his back

I wonder how a Clips vs Heat series would go
We have been very fortunate regarding injuries. With the amount of abuse that Westbrook has endured and subjects himself to, it is crazy that he hasn't had a significant injury. Thankfully, just a meniscus may allow him to bounce back quickly and maybe we all get to see just what KD can do in a situation where he is undisputed alpha dog.
I'll have my popcorn ready.

He sure looked mad as hell though. He might have known something was off as soon as it happened. PEACE.

Chase Budinger missed 4 months with a meniscus tear.

It's generally a 6 week injury.
Mwp came back after 2 weeks which is unheard of and he can't move laterally at all.
Other players have taken over 2 months. More likely he's done.

Just to quickly go back to the lebron quote, he took it too far. Being upset at not winning DPY when you believe you deserve it is great. Saying you are the only guy in history to defend all 5 positions is disrespectful. That said I don't think lebron actually means any disrespect, he just says stupid crap every once and a while.
As opposed to an ACL/MCL?
6-8 weeks with a possibility to come back sooner seems relatively minor (as knee injuries go).
Durant ≠ Deng tho.

How does Westbrook get hurt if be plays the lakers?
depends on how many PEDs he takes imo
Your thinking he will have the same explosiveness after rushing back? Recovery time is 6 to 8 weeks? Where will that put the playoffs? If your basing that off metta...

This guy shouldn't even be on the court.
It was just a week ago neolakes wanted in the playoffs so we could be denied the rising greatness that is DFavors.

Worst sports news I've heard in a long while. Completely sucks.
We're going to need KD to pick up more shots, which he's perfectly able to do. I'm also expecting a larger scoring role from Chewbacca and Martin. I'm convinced we still blow by the Rockets without much difficulty, but it starts getting dicier after that.
I don't think we see Westbrook the rest of the playoffs...I'd be shocked if we did.

I would rather take the D-Rose route, and try the best to not jeopardize my carrer. If he´s not 100% he should wait and come back better next season. No reason to turn into a Brandon Roy or Arenas deal if you don´t have to.

the meniscus (or lack thereof) is what killed brandon roy's comeback. his meniscus couldn't be repaired and was degenerating, which caused bone-on-bone contact within the knee joint.
it's still a pretty terrible injury, but yes compared to an acl tear it's not "that bad." it's part of the unhappy triad so be thankful westbrook's acl and mcl weren't affected.
