FUCK FUCK FUCK


Horrific injury

 

[vikki]

Can someone explain what happened to Hayward? I refused to look.

Came down and his leg snapped. Looks to be a broken ankle, his foot was facing sideways.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Glad I missed the original injury, I saw the Far angle and that was all I needed.

I think Gordon will be back, if PG can, he can.

not everyone is PG. The extent of the injury will tell that story. I'm sure he'll get the best care possible at the Cleveland Clinic tonight. Here's hoping it's more PG and less Joe Thiesman.

Have you squeezed a wet beach towel and left it out to dry until it dried out in a twisted noodle.

His ankle/calf was that noodle.

 

[PRBoricua]

well this is the most depressing opening night in awhile

The whole tone the game is changed, the players are just going through the motions now.

 

[alr1ght]

Paul George had a very similar injury.

PG's was more of a leg injury rather than a moving part like an ankle or knee.

 

[Syrus]

That's a season ender

Thats a damn damn shame. Celtics lookes fun this season.

This is terrible for him and team

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Condolences. I absolutely hate seeing that stuff. It's part of the reason I don't play as hard in basketball anymore. One awkward landing can ruin everything.

 

[msdstc]

Look like he tore his foot off the leg. If it's a broken bone he'll be back next year. If its all the ligaments he will never be the same.

 

[bionic77]

That was horrible.

Hope he can make a full recovery.

 

[jombag]

Nobody gif that ever

 

[Master Thespian]

Looks like the foot was all the way turned around.

 

[NewLib]

Yeah initially I thought it was the leg but the ankle makes it more difficult.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Christ.

 

[blakep267]

Career-ending?

Pg seems to be fine

 

[moltonasty]

Fuck LeBron.

lol

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Can someone explain what happened to Hayward? I refused to look.

Collided with Crowder(?) in mid-air landed awkwardly on one leg.

Snapped his leg in half and twisted his ankle 45 degrees. Ultra gruesome.

 

[Dynomutt]

Well I guess Tatum will get his shine this year

I think you mean Kyrie...

He wanted to be the man...

Terrible for Hayward hope he recovers better than ever.

 

[Tom Penny]

Just like that no chance do really do damage this year. Hope Jaylen makes a leap nothing else matters

 

[Nori Chan]

Fucking depressing to see that on opening night, to one of the nba's top players, after a career year, and on a championship hopeful team.

Idgaf if it's the celtics, that is mad depressing and gives me chills

 

[Big Baybee]

Ugh. Terrible.

 

[Eleuin]

yikes

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Pg seems to be fine

PG was a freak accident though.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Career-ending?

Maybe, maybe not. We should have a clearer picture by the end of the night. PG and Livingston came back though.. thing is he could probably lose a step or two and not be the same player again.

 

[UnknownSpirit]

Jesus.

I feel like all excitement about tonight is gone now

 

[jombag]

Cool nike commercial

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So....

Hayward for Greg Monroe. Who says no.

 

[Bread]

kill me

 

[friskykillface]

 

[Codeblue]

I don't even understand how you come down so awkwardly that your foot is facing the wrong way.

 

[msdstc]

Maybe, maybe not. We should have a clearer picture by the end of the night. PG and Livingston came back though.

Pg had a clean break he was always going to be fine.

Livingston folded his knee like an accordion. That one is dramatically different from pg.

 

[Tall4Life]

Just a reminder, according to LeBron, to block a dunk you need to body the person directly, with the result either being a foul or a horrific injury.

Fuck LeBron, trash player.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

I was just telling my dad how sick I am of all the terrible injuries in the NFL...

 

[eternaLightness]

It’s always weird catching stuff like that during a live broadcast. I noticed it when he didn’t get up immediately. Hopefully he can recover!

 

[-tetsuo-]

I don’t even want to watch anymore

 

[Sanjuro]

This might be the most upset I've been as a sports fan since the 2003 ALCS.

 

[K.Sabot]

i think i'mma take a break from watching basketball for a bit...

shoutouts to ignore lists hiding me from naughty pics

 

[SCChappy]

made me feel sick

fucking hell

 

[UnObtainium17]

It’s always weird catching stuff like that during a live broadcast. I noticed it when he didn’t get up immediately. Hopefully he can recover!

And marv said 1000000x that his leg broke. Like dude.

 

[Chase17]

So now we are in Smart run the offense mode.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

just pop it back in

Rub some dirt on it.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Career-ending?

Hope not. Paul George came back from his horrific accident so hopefully Gordon can come back from this

Seriously?

 

[bionic77]

I hate the Celtics and I felt sick after watching that and I think I am done for the night.

 

[GalacticToast]

"Gordon Hayward has been taken to the Cavs locker room for further evaluation"

Team Doctor: takes off splint "Ya, that shit broken dawg"

 

[Joei]

Yikes, just rewinded and saw the injury... that's a damn shame. I was really hoping Cleveland and Boston could legitimately compete this year.

 

[friskykillface]

Yeesh this offensive set right now

 

[Sanjuro]

just pop it back in

 

[megalowho]

Marcus Smart ISO ball is not going to be a winning strategy in this game

 

[Bread]

This might be the most upset I've been as a sports fan since the 2003 ALCS.

i didn't think i cared that much about sports anymore to where i wouldnt be upset like this again

i guess i was wrong
