Yup, its his aggressive D that makes it seem like he wan'ts to hurt people. He is just trying to annoy people or get in their heads.

He did fuck up westbrook intentionally though.

I remember that. That was a straight up football tackle on the hardwood. At first I was like, heh quit messing around Beverley, and then when I saw he really did get injured that's when I felt bad, even if I hated him.

IIRC that was a Game 2?

 

[elrechazado]

if they want a superstar Hortford isn't one
hes a good player but hes no superstar , especially since the C position is dying, his jumper is meh


but when I see Whiteside the god I say go all in, potential is highhhhhhhhhhhh
max

Whiteside seems like the ultimate playing for a payday player. Contract year effect to the max. Would love to be wrong because his skills are amazing.

I will say that Horford hasn't been as automatic from the midrange as he was before but no way he's an average shooter at the C position. Hell, he's better than some guards. His form is ugly as sin tho.

 

[Fjordson]

Saw this just come up. Got excited, but not a lot of new info. Definitely seems to further confirm it's a foot injury and not his ankle http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area...chobox&utm_term=Autofeed#link_time=1461098057

I keep refreshing my basketball twitter list for any sort of update. Watching my timeline at work like

edit: Curry getting MRI today

Welp.

 

[LyleLanley]

Olynyk's out and Smart's starting tonight.

Welp.

Maybe it's just precautionary?

Yeah Horford has always been a really nice face up big because of his jumper. Plus he added a decent 3 point shot to his game now. He would be a perfect fit on the Celtics and I would absolutely be satisfied with him as our big FA pick up if we get a top 2 pick.

 

[Fjordson]

Maybe, but the uncertainty that leads to an MRI opens up a much larger number of possibilities. And his attempt to play last night isn't as reassuring since it seems they don't truly know what's wrong.

Smart over ET in the starting lineup is a good call. Need Turner to facilitate the offense off the bench. Please don't be terrible Tyler Zeller

 

[Line_HTX]

How did this injury happen? I didn't see much of Game 1.

Problem is Hortford alone barely moves the teams ceiling. NBA is about a rosters ceiling and the Celtics lack of talent gives it low max. Hortford doesn't make it much higher without a sharp shooter or another top 30 player. Zeller has to play tonight with Turner. He has no other way to be productive.

He kind of turned/stubbed his foot it's weird trying to explain it. Didn't look major to me.

Curry still seems to be jovial so it's a good sign.

looks like the MRI came back clean

1. Horford FFS.

2. You can't just say that he doesn't change the team's ceiling, that's silly. You're replacing a guy like Amir with Horford and the team doesn't become a contender? Come on that makes no sense.

MRI on Steph Curry's right ankle, I'm told, revealed "nothing of concern." Remains listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3

 

[Line_HTX]

Houston's hospitals can get Curry back up 100% just in time.

Please just fucking end this entire sham of a season.

Add Hortford to the team with a healthy Bradley right now. Odds of getting to the Finals is still zero. Your two best players are number 3's on title team and that's winning you things? I don't think so.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is Hortford some kind of meme I've missed out on?

Goddamn, updates on updates! Thanks brehs.

I need to stop paying attention to this until there's something more definitive.

 

[PBY]

Why even rush Curry back.

Rox are a dumpster fire.

 

[panthapanda]

I think it's just autocorrect lol

 

[Nafai1123]

Resting Curry in game 3 should happen regardless of his condition imo.

 

[Cooter]

Resting Curry in game 3 should happen regardless of his condition imo.

Unless they get to game 6 I'd sit him the rest of the series.

 

[Sandfox]

Yup, its his aggressive D that makes it seem like he wan'ts to hurt people. He is just trying to annoy people or get in their heads.

He did fuck up westbrook intentionally though.

I'm not a fan of Beverly.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Its even more awesome to watch Houston lose the series to a Curryless team.

 

[Jarate]

Welcome to a super crappy free agent class where everyone has ludicrous money

KD is the only prize, Im not a big Whiteside fan, and everyone else just seems meh.

Although, I think Irving, and Butler are both going to be available for trade this offseason

 

[RBelong2Us]

Some of you are straight silly with your fracture comments. Dude isn't gonna be able to do anything he has been doing since aggravating his ankle/foot if he had a stress fracture, hairline fracture, etc.

 

[Messi]

Its even more awesome to watch Houston lose the series to a Curryless team.

Yeah because we all know GSW are a bunch of scrubs without him. Doubt they'd even make the playoffs.

 

[Macadinho94]

Yeah because we all know GSW are a bunch of scrubs without him. Doubt they'd even make the playoffs.

Sarcasm? We'd probably be a 45-50 win team and we could add someone else to the rotation with the cap space.

 

[Gully State]

I say let Curry rest (unless the Rockets miraculously rise from the ashes of shitball). Dude looked worn out as the season ended. ..

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I think letting a series extend is a bad move. What if Klay gets hurt? What if Igoudala gets hurt? What if Dwight or Harden gets a monster game and forces a 7th game where anything can happen?

 

[PadWarrior]

Speaking of free agents will be curious to see who over pays for Harrison Barnes. I know someone will.

 

[Messi]

Sarcasm? We'd probably be a 45-50 win team and we could add someone else to the rotation with the cap space.

Of course. GSW are an amazing team even without Curry.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Time for the Cs to go down 2-0 in this series.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yup!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Marcus Smart injured now too.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Yeah because we all know GSW are a bunch of scrubs without him. Doubt they'd even make the playoffs.

They look very different with him than they do without.

 

[LyleLanley]

I hate everything, I'm gonna get drunk.

 

[panthapanda]

Hey Korver made a shot b

 

[RBH]

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Celtics getting dominated.

 

[GitarooMan]

What's with the C's being so asleep to start games. Wake up.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Avery Bradley = MVP?

 

[Chase17]

welp

maybe it's time to watch the sox

 

[TSM]

How the hell do you lose Korver that many plays in a row?

 

[Sanjuro]

Welp.

 

[LyleLanley]

At this rate I'll be blacked out by the end of the quarter.
