Kyrie's knee thing is very troubling. Heard something (maybe on here) about people who tear their patella have increased risk of arthritis.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 5 April 2018 18:21 (six years ago) link
they are insanely gritty what wld really be the most appropriate zenith to this season is them beating the cavs in the 2nd round with a starting 5 of horford/morris/tatum/brown/rozier all playing out of their minds and being total psychos on D

this season has been bullshit for injuries. amazing how many great players are out or hobbled. yet amazingly Derrick Rose only has a sprained ankle.

There is another possibility. With the rise of sports science and armies of injury-prevention staffers in place, teams may be increasingly more risk-averse when it comes to bringing guys back from injury.With more information than ever thanks to wearable tracking (outside of games) and fancy sports-science departments, it seems teams are being more careful than ever. Some in the league think that's the good, safe approach. But others believe the DNP-rest movement has gone too far, erring too much on the side of caution rather than understanding that playing basketball will always present reasonable risk. One executive called it "paralysis by analysis."Injuries are up by 10 percent, but time missed due to injury is up by about 25 percent, per Stotts' analysis. So, yes, players are out longer.

that's an interesting dimension that i hadn't thought of. could be a fluke given some of the weird injuries this season.

the wolves don't really deserve to make the playoffs if they can't win games like that so i guess it is what it is....
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 6 April 2018 14:26 (six years ago) link
Im cool with guys taking full recovery time because it means more of them will have full careers instead of being broken down at like 30 but we’ve definitely had a lot of freak injuries this year and it seems to have randomly hit star level guys more than anything
The pace thing is interesting though I wonder how the injury rates match up with earlier high pace eras overall
