[TurnUpTheHeat]

when was the last time Tristan Thompson missed a game due to injury? I KNOW come hell or highwater you will find TT in the Cleveland lineup no matter what.

You've really sunk to this?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Would make my day if Thompson blows out his knee at some point in the playoffs.

Nah.
I hope they stay fully healthy.
They still will lose, and then the summer fun will begin.

You're surprised? I never root for injuries but to come in here to brag about Tristan and basically make fun of Hassan for getting injured. I pray that Tristan tears his fucking ACL

 

[gordontrue]

What's the official news on Whiteside? I haven't heard anything other than the X-Ray was negative.

I really hope he is ok. I would have no problem avoiding the heat if it was because the raptors took them down... but it will feel a little empty if injury plays a role.

Yeah wiggy that's not cool man

He's not ok. All the writers already said the Heat expect bad news from the MRI tomorrow. Almost a lock he's done for the series

Even is Tristan was out, it wouldn't matter.
Pretty much any unguarded player standing by the basket on the Cavs could clean up the garbage.

Take James out of the lineup and the Cavs would prob lose to any of the other teams in the East, and Tristan would look like Scola.

Yeah wiggy that's not cool man

His karma is coming.

That sucks. The injuries these playoffs have been brutal.

I feel like we've been robbed from so much good basketball. From the grizzlies and mavs to the warriors and clippers and now the heat. Sucks.

Edit: not to mention bosh

I was pissed at the end of game 2 cause I thought he was tired.
Obviously now he had health issues.
He has no chance to heal with games every other day.
He put in tons of work to earn his pay day.
He shouldn't risk it.

I agree 100%.
I always want best vs best.

Definitely shouldn't risk it.

Dude is one of the best centers and he's been playing for peanuts.

He fought long and hard for his payday this summer, don't want to mess up that opportunity

And maybe if the Heat flame out in 5 without him....It gives them more reason to give him that max contract

 

[bksballer89]

If Whiteside is out (as we all expect), as much as I would love to see the Heat advance, I prefer that they not because the Cavs would embarrass us. Toronto who are fully healthy (JV injury doesn't seem to serious) can compete with the Cavs more than we would without Whiteside or Bosh

I guess it just depends how it plays out with Bosh and the rest of FA.
We need some outside shooters, but I'm also convinced that Whiteside is a special type of talent.

That's where my mind has went, but once the game starts Monday, I'll be rooting to win.

If we somehow end up playing the Cavs, there could be no result that would embarrass us.

Same no doubt I'll still root for us to win every game but if we get eliminated, I won't be too upset knowing our situation and knowing what the result would be if we do make it to the ECF with no Hassan

[Black Adam]

Nah.
