    Damn, looks like Giannis is going to miss extended period of time, but we have their ‘23 pick instead of next year’s because of the Tucker trade.

    No, giving that team more time to completely implode was the right thing.

    It's too early to tell the extent of the damage, if any. I've seen people "walk off" torn ACL's. It all depends on pain tolerance and adrenaline.

    Tilman once sneezed and it blew an MVP, an MVP, a GM, a coach, and several role players away.

    None of that had anything to do with Fertitta, it had to do with a diva of a basketball player trying to play GM and failing miserably.

    Giannis must’ve been fat and out of shape…that seems to be the main reason used on here for why guys get injured

    I'm pretty sure doing everything in his power to save money, instead of help his star player win a championship, had just a tad bit to do with it.

    But hey maybe you're right. Maybe Harden - the only star who's been ride or die for Houston in a very, very, very long time - maybe he just woke up one morning and said f*ck this place. Maybe you're right.

    We have no idea how serious or not the injury is. Wouldn't be surprised if he played next game.

    No, not at all.

    Harden didn't get along with CP3 so he demanded he be traded for the basketball cancer that is Westbrook against the wishes of basically everyone. Since the demand was "Do as I say or trade me", they went along with it and in doing so completely destroyed the team. Harden realized he destroyed the team, so he wanted to bail in the hopes that he could ride coattails to a championship.

    Basically Harden destroyed the team, then threw a tantrum so he wouldn't have to deal with rebuilding what he destroyed.

    Thought this was going to be a 'we can't draft Mobley, because big guys get injured' thread.

    Truly disappointed.....

    So this is the latest Tilman deflection attempt. I'm kind of disappointed. I could agree that multiple people are at fault. "Nothing to do with Tilman". Classic.

    No, it's just what happened. It's been common knowledge for a very long time now.
