The Thunder still aren't gonna win the O'Brien this year anyway.

Shams just broke it, he had Achilles surgery.

Really really sucks. Makes this Summer really interesting though. Celtics were likely trading away pieces anyway but that's a year long recovery for Tatum so that likely takes Boston out of title contention next season. You could see a lot more teams in the East aggressively going for it next year as the path to the Finals gets a bit easier. Big time swings in FA and trades

yeah, thanks for the concern … just step around the body please …

He seemed to show more pain than what we normally see when it's an Achilles. With his reaction, I thought/hoped maybe he broke something. Thought it might be like that broken foot Kevin McHale played through in the 80's playoffs.

I'd imagine the pain and knowing the season is over was just to emotional for him.

Plus his first major injury, he just hasn’t been injured

 

[realityball]

lotta choking in these playoffs … here’s to hoping it goes the other way

… oh boy

He has. He plays thru them. Always has

He has not had a major injury is what I said, certainly not this

Gotta think the Knicks get a favorable whistle if that's the matchup LOL...the only team left in the bracket that can draw ratings (assuming the obvious that the Warriors and Celtics are done, barring a miracle)

And if anyone knows how to draw fouls it's the Knicks' best player

 

[thunderc]

I like the Celtics to rally tonight

 

[realityball]

… not to sound too trifling, but aren’t the NYC celebrity fans the homeliest in the league?


yeah, I’m bitter

If you can play through it, it's not a major injury.

 

[LogicMan]

If you can play through it, it's not a major injury.

No one plays thorough an Achilles

No shit, and? You said he plays through major injuries all the time. They aren't major if you can play through them.

Nobody's shaming him for not playing through an Achilles.

not sure if he gets out of this nightmare

not sure if he gets out of this nightmare

He's right though, if they were fully healthy and lost this series he might have some job risk, now he gets a pass most likely
