According to Stein Embiid had a scan recently that revealed a more pronounced tear and we won't get a timetable until after the surgery.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Embiid was too good for this world. His home planet needs him.

 

[Bread]

the process has been delayed another year

be patient please

 

[Chase17]

Even with this news I would have swapped Zeller for him

 

[sf2fanatic]

He was just using him to make a point, which is that some of the greats were the children of marginal players, like Kobe and Joe Bryant, or Steph and Dell Curry, or LeBron and Delonte West.

Lol ninja

No way Lopez gets suspended in the NHL.

thank god the nba isn't the nhl.

Never forget. "There's no reason to think embiid will struggle to stay healthy". Significant meniscus tear spells big trouble, especially given the mechanism in which he tore it. If I'm the sixers and can net something, o flip embiid as fast as possible.

Fuck the NHL.

I never thought Sam Bowie would have a better career than Embiid.

The end of his first answer

"Everybody's collecting uh, collective bargaining agreement".

I know he has tourette syndrome so I wonder if it was that or just a weird mistake (I don't really know much about tourette syndrome).

Cavs play Spurs Monday, everyone should just sit out to troll the league lol

 

[spyder_ur]

Dancing Bear!

 

[GraveRobberX]

What kind of jerseys are the Wizards rocking?

Da' Fuck?
Lik some JV Pep Rally edition

 

[alejob]

Did I just see a Mario tattoo on Muscala(Hawks)?

 

[msdstc]

Marcus with the nasty finish in the lane.

 

[OldMan]

Denver unconsciously running rounds on the Cavs

 

[Gigglepoo]

I don't like the Celtics.

 

[LyleLanley]

Hortford is good.

 

[Bread]

Hortford is good.

Every team could use a Hortford

 

[LyleLanley]

I would like a second Hortford.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Big Al has been quietly very good in March, averaging over 15 points while shooting nearly 60% from the field with over 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Another solid line tonight with 15-8-8. That's like Draymond Green but not as obsessed with punching dudes in the balls.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Torn on whether I want the Nuggets to get the 8th spot or to miss out and maybe get some decent luck in the lottery (LaVar would just tell them his son won't play for them anyways)

538 gives Golden State a near 50/50 shot of winning the title. Cavs with just a 3% shot. Wizards 4%. Celtics 7%

 

[LyleLanley]

Why did it seem like Embiid's knee injury is constantly getting worse?

I like those odds!

Warriors are due, I guess. Let them win it. As long as the Celtics don't win shit, I'm cool with this out come.

 

[Fjordson]

Cleveland loses again.

Their defense has been lowkey bad this year. Down to 21st in the league right now.

 

[Chase17]

7%?

Celtics have made it!

 

[LyleLanley]

How do the Celtics have better odds to win it all than the Cavs?

 

[Surfinn]

Damn the bucks can hit threes. Some impressive players on that team.

Nate Silver was the only analyst to give Trump a fighting chance in the election. I don't question his numbers, I just accept them

 

[LyleLanley]

That's fair but I feel like this just tells us that they should rethink how they come up with these numbers. Or maybe Finals MVP Zeller is a real thing.

 

[Tall4Life]

By all means GSW should be winning the NBA championship, as they should have last year, but they probably won't

 

[panthapanda]

After the Falcons, I was hoping the Hawks would do something for my ATL sports drive... but they fucking succcccckkkk

And I'm not that into soccer sigh

Celtics winning the title is the NBA version of a Trump victory so your theory seems legit.

Ha ha ha ha.

Spoiler

It's true.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Haven't the Cavs been wrecked by injuries all year? I doubt we've seen their peak, assuming they get healthy for the playoffs.

edit: Oh just saw Smith and Love have been back. Maybe they should be worried then.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

How did Lebron get a -30 +/-?

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

So now that the Celts (46-26) and the Cavs (46-24) are tied for wins in the East, when do the Cavs make up those 2 games that they are behind the Celtics?

do they have 2 extra back 2 backs coming up?

Cav's have seemed to be behind almost everyone in total games played all year.

 

[TTG]

It's impossible to tell with the Cavs and we won't know until they get to the finals because the East is the East. Credit to Lebron, he had every opportunity to pull a Dirk/Mavs this year and he hasn't and now, if Durant isn't himself, they are the favorites.

 

[RiggityRice]

Haven't seen a cavs game in a while, has Larry sanders played yet? Things have quiet down about him since they signed him..

 

[Servbot24]

By all means GSW should be winning the NBA championship, as they should have last year, but they probably won't

100% depends on Steph and Klay shooting at the time. If they're on they can't be beat, if they're cold it will be 6 or 7 games with Cavs winning.

 

[phanphare]

Cleveland loses again.

yeah this has got to be worrying

even last year with all the lolkevin love talk I think they were still top 10 in defensive efficiency

 

[Servbot24]

LeBron just coasts on defense a lot of the time imo. He'll be a lot better in the playoffs

 

[Lionel Richie]

edit: Oh just saw Smith and Love have been back. Maybe they should be worried then.

Honestly at this point JR Smith being out would definitely help them, he's having an atrocious season.

 

[OldMan]

LeBrons second job after playing forward is motivating the Cavs

 

[FZZ]

"How do you feel if your sons are going to be targeted because of your comments"

"Well that's why you lift weights" - LaVar

dude is a fucking idiot

they need to stop giving him a platform

 

[Fjordson]

Hard to see them not making the finals still, but they're much worse even than last year (finished 10th in defense).

 

[Kave_Man]

Haha one of the Raps beat reporters just outlined probably the greatest/worst case scenario ever for the Raps on the last day of the regular season.

Raps play the Cavs for the last game of the season, the scenario is this:

Cavs need to win to get the #1 Seed or drop to #2
Raps need to win to get the #3 seed or drop to #4

Love it, thanks.
