    If you don't see the complete idiocy of this, then I have no words. Seriously stop watching sports if you don't understand the magnitude of knee injuries on a basketball player......

    Zaps the life out of you. Hard to look forward to the rest of the series. Ruins any excitement and chance we had.

    **** you, and go root for a team you really care about. I knew it from all your non-basketball posts that you were a flaming, insipid d-bag. Go find another place to spread your hatred. Welcome to perma-ignore.

    You can't blame Smith for that. It happens. It's not like Tim Thomas meant to take out Yao back in 2007. Freak accidents occur on the court.

    If this is another serious injury you have to start looking at replacing Dwight man and life without Dwight. Hate to say it but he looks really bad when playing on a injury.

    Whether it be this year or back during the Lakers days where he was playing hurt. He's just not a GREAT player without his bounce.

    He could've easily backed down clay Thompson and gone for a layup . But instead, he decided to throw up some bull****, then decided to lose his balance like a moron. He's just a clumsy dude. r****ded too. Both of our power forwards are idiots

    All the ESPN commentators dogging out Dwight for "not showing up" and totally disregarding the fact that HE GOT INJURED should be ashamed of themselves. I can't think of any other player that could get injured and have TV commentators condemn him for it. It really is shameful. Jalen Rose especially.

    Hopefully Dwight is okay. The Rockets played well tonight.
