They sounded like they wanted to win, not that SL matters but it's not like they can now. Yeah it'd be smart to sit them. Hope Nance is okay.

Just watched the charge replay from Nance. Looks like he broke his wrist. I hope I'm wrong but that replay doesn't look good.

I hope this wrist injury doesn't mess up his newly developed jump shot ://///

He apparently fractured his 3rd metacarpal

Randle better get his shit together.

Isn't a worse case scenario wrist injury like 2-3 months? So that's still enough time for the season

yeah a broken hand bone is definitely better than wrist. I think wrist injuries can tend to mess up player's shooting mechanics too, or at least take longer for them to recover.

That Zubac dunk was lit.
Sixers need some veteran presence there, especially someone with a championship pedigree just to rein in the young guys. I doubt Manu will even entertain the idea of leaving the Spurs until retirement though.

yeah ummm...strength in numbers...or something.
OKC did mostly dominate that series in ways that Cleveland in the next round didn't. Golden St. couldn't really run anything resembling an offense within the 3pt line vs. OKC; their offense was basically reduced to Klay and Steph chucking 3's, but those 3's just happened to go in vs. the Thunder.

Edit: nvm
Lol just read that.
They fucking choked a 3-1 lead away. I don't know how they deserved anything but what they got. You would think he would realize this after GSW turned around and did the same thing lmao. Like does closing the deal mean anything anymore?
I had never minded GSW but this last playoffs has placed them atop my shit list.
well he did miss a whole yr. Last yr was basically his rookie season.
"Deserve" to win is always a bit weird. The only team who "deserves" to win something is the one that actually does imo.
But I kinda get everything else he said. They played the Warriors tougher than anyone else I've seen the last two years.
Progressed from what? Unless you count the 14 minutes he played, last year was his rookie season.
Nah man, these guys scrimmage every day. If you get injured in summer league then you were gonna get injured in league play anyways.
Luck is a major part of the game, and it's really hard to say that any team deserves luck more than another.

McCaw dropped 28 points last night.
Kid looks so smooth out there and his active defense is great. I really like what I'm seeing out of him in summer league.

He's the real deal. Another late pick steal!

Is that a no?

Friday Night Lights joke. On the show that guys name was Landry but the coach kept calling him Lance. I don't know if he was ever corrected.

I haven't seen that movie since.....2002? I don't remember much about the movie.
The greatest sports movie of all time for me is Hoop Dreams.

After Teen Wolf, you mean?

LOL
I typed that and I was thinking to myself "this doesn't seem right but whatever"
Glad Larry "Lance" Nance is okay, but still need to ban the charge.
He looks really solid. Myers is the swindle god.

LOL Bill Simmons tried to teach me that the best basketball movie is Teen Wolf.
Meh, I still think it's Hoop Dreams, IMO.

Maybe he's a righty and he doesn't realize it. Would explain the terrible shooting.
He felt like it? I think he should have played.
And I know that because he did play those 14 minutes he is officially considered a third year player. But I don't know how you can count a year of being injured against his hypothetical progress.

Just ain't right man. I'm never going to get used to see Wade outside of a Heat uniform.
