Confirmed Achilles for Haliburton. This is going to get analyzed a million times over now, the “should he have played?” question is going to be all over the media
 
Oh wow Achilles so was wrong

How is this happening to guys like Haliburton, Taytum, etc? That's a late 30's/40 year old injury

GMOs catching up? Where's ClubDirt?

The whole 24/7 365 a year growing up I think. And if they’re exclusively just doing basketball maybe?
 
I don’t think it will. You go out and try to win a championship when you can.

Full on agree with you. But the fact he had the calf injury and it was kind of foreshadowing, the media outlets will need something to discuss/hype. Everybody will say “yes he did the right thing playing, it’s for the championship”, but they’ll still ask the question over and over just to make sure they let the likes of Stephen A Smith rant about how it was the correct decision
 
If I had to guess anything it’s over training.

Dre Greenlaw lost a SB walking out on to the field.

When guys weren’t playing in the 90s and prior they were enjoying life.
 
Yeah it was pretty obviously an Achilles. Some exact thing to KD.

Age little to do with it.

You play hurt. You risk getting seriously hurt.
It used to

Back when we just ate fried food and ice cream

All the plant based bullshit now...time to call these injuries protein based or plant based
 
Thunder overall have become a very hard watch. Not thrilled to see this team turn into a dynasty.

Really like the Rockets at 9-1 next year with the best coach and best shooter in the league.
 
I forget who's doing what next season, is it NBC and ABC splitting games? If so, the latter needs to GBU-57 its entire broadcast, from pre / in / post-game "analysis" to the actual people (sans Breen) working the game. It's just abysmal, in so many respects.
 
Lmao Hartenstein forgot he already dribbled

Welcome to 2nd grade coaching if you're there

I had a 4th grader that kept doing this. Ref would blow the whistle and every time the kid would act shocked. I was ready to strangle him by the end of the season.

Think I might start doing the volunteer coaching again. That shit will not only enrage you but teach you humility and keep you young. Lots of fun. Although I've never dealt with the parents of this generation.
 
so at the high school i teach/coach at....this weekend the gym is being rented out for a little kids AAU tournament. I happened to stop by Friday afternoon after summer school. One team, probably like 4th maybe 5th graders....i'd say 5th grade at oldest. The coach has them in the huddle and says "okay boys, have our pack line defense ready, and be ready i'll call for our 1-3-1 zone, and be ready i'll call for our diamond press too. ok ready?" and then when you watch these kids play, they literally can't even dribble the basketball yet, they're swatting/batting at the ball trying to dribble...they're catching passes and immediately curling up into a ball with it. so so horrible
