I still am thinking about that injury.

Ugh.

Curious to see how the 76ers do tonight. Go Bucks. Go Blazers.

 

The whole thing is so dumb.

 

Going to the Bucks Blazers game Saturday, hell yeah.

 

Truly stupid.

 

I only like it because it made Draymond Green go to an A's game, rather than even being in the arena for a Finals game.

 

There's a lot of medical experts coming out of the woodwork talking about Hayward's injury, but I found this one to be detailed and interesting:

Gordon Hayward's ankle injury and road to recovery, as explained by a medical expert

 

very interesting read for sure. the human body is insane, i'm always impressed listening to these doctors/trainers talk about these injuries like it's textbook knowledge. i mean for them some of it is, but up until this article i didn't even know what bones made up my ankle lol

he seems very cautiously optimistic about a return this season, i think thats the biggest take away. everyone already has it in their heads after reading social media that the target is march and he'll be back by then, but it sounds like he has a whole lot of recovery ahead.

 

Yeah, I mean, even if he were to come back by March or April, it will NOT be the same Hayward for some time after that.

 

Go Nuggets

 

Good read. Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna remain cautiously optimistic he can be back for the playoffs if only to have some hope. I do love reading about recoveries and stuff. Always blows me away. I got a pretty legit surgery a few months ago and it blew me away how much they nailed the timeline. Like up to the day I'd start feeling one way or being able to do another thing.

 

Looking forward to see Swanigan playing tonight. Hopefully he has a good debut and puts up a double-double. Haha

 

Nuggets are going to be really fun this year. Jokic and Milsap seem like a perfect front court pairing. Plus, I'm hoping for a leap from Murray.

 

I've never been this excited to watch my Kangz lose 50+ times, the future is brightish

 

Ok Philly, show me what you got.

 

I will watch every minute Embiid is allowed to play as long as I can

 

Bayless, Redick, Embiid, Simmons ... lots of fun stuff to cheer for with this 76ers team.

 

Joel already trying to put people in the dirt

 

Simmons's rebounding ability is going to be awesome.

 

Crazy pace so far.

 

I'm buying Ben Simmons stock.

 

Good god that Fultz FT form

 

Fultz's free throw form is horrific.

 

JOHNNY WALLS

 

Tough draw for the Sixers' first game; Wizards will win this one handily. However, there's a lot of talent in Philly. Really excited for this year.

(Also, that was a charge. Love T.J. McConnell.)
