    yeah, i can see that. if it's a sprain. just generally speaking when an injury just sort of bubbles up, it often means the cause is very basic and longstanding in itself. it doesn't sound like this is that kind of thing, though.

    but for an analogy, kawhi leonard never knows when the injury happens. you just wake up and your knee is a grapefruit. that's bad.

    Can't believe all the years I played through middle school, HS and pickup ball in College I never landed on someone's foot and rolled an ankle. I did it one time bad in the 6th or seventh grade running across a friend's lawn and landed in a sprinkler hole. Damn!! Ballooned up and cost me the 2nd half of my little league season that summer.

    i did it a lot. but i was kind of a high flyer who took it into the paint as a small guy (think tiny white iverson or morant). one time my ankle snapped so bad that the guys playing two courts over stopped playing due to the sound of the pop.

    Lol no, thank god. It was a sprain but the ligament can make an audible pop, I’ve learned.

    Couldn't buy a 3 and offense took some time, but then he found his middie late.

    Did a little of everything else though. Really competed on the glass. Sandwich rebounds. Sneaking in on missed FTs.

    Some nice passing out there too


    And the transition one to LB

    He's so good. Just a guy who makes something happening even if one aspect of his game ain't working like his jumper

    The fact he just annihilates an entire NBA defensive playbook isn't talked enough. You just can't play any sort of drop coverage against the Lakers or AR will just go I'm him on you. Still depressed Lakers didn't push that Nuggets series longer he was abusing Denver in the elimination game and it got lost

    I thought he was really good tonight. Loved the rebounding hustle and the clutch scoring.

    yeah, he's still better than most people give him credit for. that contract is an insane value, and i'm annoyed we can't make that work to our advantage without having to trade him--which i would hate to do.

    very good game from AR even with his offense not quite being there!

    I thought he did a great job defending tonight too - and honestly, for him and DLO backcourrt to work, he's going to have to be that 2-way guy for us.

    Last night was a good start to that

    Big time tonight. His play in Q2 was huge in turning this blowout into a manageable deficit.




    That's nice!
