    I mean Jason Kidd did lead them to back to back Finals appearances. That makes them kind of relevant for a spell.

    sad to see giannis get let off the hook from another monumental playoff embarrassment just due to injuries. dude seriously led a team that was scored 86 in back to back games against the mighty nets defense.

    what, you predicted an injury of some sort would occur at some point in time in some manner?

    I mean you are a Nets fan, and that’s why you are so butt hurt by my comments. Each reply makes it more obvious.

    if Harden is back before the ECF, he was most likely rushed back and isn’t completely ready…he won’t be 100% and will have a significant risk for re-injury

    the last 2 times, his hamstring gave out on like the 1st play of the game

    A low grade ankle sprain is what 1-3 weeks? I'm not a doctor, not sure if Kyrie will be back for at least the next two games. By then series could be over.

    I think harden will play in game 5 . They were being extra cautious because they thought Kyrie and KD was enough. He will do a couple extra workload training and will play and save Durant

    only one who seems butt hurt is u because your lack of character was called out, so now you’re trying to deflect

    If it’s a high ankle sprain even at a low grade level minimum is two weeks

    It's funny to see Nets fans complain about being "underhanded" because of injury. They still got KD and Blake. No excuses.

    Depends on the swelling and which ligaments where actually sprained, but yes a grade 1 sprain is about that time.

    The other thing to consider the player's style. Kyrie beats guys with an a great first step and his jump shot is predicated on getting a lot of lift as opposed to say Steph Curry. Even a low grade ankle sprain may affect him more than other players.

    I said what I said, owned it, and explained why I said it. No deflection.

    Making character judgments based on sports hate is ridiculous. But you constantly bring personal attacks into these sorts of arguments. It is what it is. It doesn’t bother me. It’s just funny how emotional you get.

    Even if Harden comes back, its not a given he’s going to be an impactful player when he comes back.

    I remember how he looked at the beginning of the season when he tried to play through an ankle injury.

    Yeah high ankle sprain basically means tearing/stressing the ligament between the fibula and tibula as well as the ligaments around the ankle. It can be trickier to identify on a xray especially soon after the injury and if they have already been trying to ice to minimize swelling.

    If the Nets get eliminated I'm going to celebrate like the Rockets won the championship

    I mean, we all love Tucker..... but he does love a big flop. Tucker will be useless on the offense next game. He has one good offensive game every 15 games.

    The only thing that would merit that response for Rockets fans this month is the outcome of June 22nd.

    If hardens hamstring dosent go he will be fine. His first game back from the hamstring injury he had 18-11-8 in 20 odd minutes just a few weeks ago.
