    This....It doesn't even look like he's wearing a brace. Same type of wrap on both legs.

    I still can't believe they chose this guy over Harden.

    Quit celebrating injuries. It's bad karma. Do this and maybe tomorrow you break your own knee.

    1. PBev injury or no, that looks like it really hurts and could f'up anyone's knee. If it is truly just a sprain.. heck, that's impressive.

    2. As someone noted, what the heck is Westbrook doing there? Can you tell exactly where a guy is coming at you? No... but it sure is weird how Westbrook literally at the last moment moves his knee right into Lowry's knee path.

    3. Why the f is he always coming back so quick? It seemed dumb both times this year he did it... to me. Dude didn't need to come back till mid-season. I'm no doctor... but it seems like that would have been wiser?

    4. The PBev play in the playoffs I wouldn't describe as dirty. Aggressive? Sure. But a basketball play. Consider just last week Lin surprised everyone, his teammates included, on a to be called timeout play that wasn't called. It was actually a pretty good move, and shot, but Lin got called for the charge. I'm not saying the "fake" timeout happens often... but occasionally. Moreover, there's nothing that says you shouldn't try and steal a ball even if your opponents is trying to call a timeout.

    I've been saying this since Rose went out. Ultra athletic PG's will not last in the NBA, or at best lead a very injury prone career. They are typically the smallest player on the court but take as much contact as the bigs do. Just look at Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, and now Russel Westbrook. Even CP3, who is an MVP candidate every year, is often out with injury.

    Yep and RB's too. No reason to give any running back besides Adrian Peterson a huge contract.

    Even though his style of play has had nothing to do with how he was injured?
