Wow. Stayed up all night working, rolled out of bed at 12:30, made coffee, then saw Wemby's season is over. Blood clots. Scary. And sad. Love Wemby's game and this is just bad for the NBA overall. Hope he comes back better than ever. Great kid. Whatta frikkin' drag, man.
yeah, from the second i saw him i was like...no way that guy can stay on the floor. but so far, he has. no foot/back issues that tend to plague the really tall guys. guess we'll see if this was a freak thing that happens to anyone or the kind of thing that happens to guys with freakish frames (i think holmgren is always going to struggle with injuries, for example).
Worst part is... Bucks needed a challenge to straight out this s***. WTF are the refs watching in real life? NBA is pathetic, no wonder ratings are down.
Man, sometimes you glance at the scoreboard and do a triple-take. EX: CHA played a spirited game, we took them lightly, and they beat us, at home. They're a bad team, but every now and then things like that happen. CHA, on a tour of the West, goes into POR to play another bad team. You expect it to be a close game between bad teams, but POR beat them by 53, 141-88. WTF? ---------------------------- Another shocker - not as bad as POR winning a game by 53, but still - HOU goes into Utah and loses by 9. Utah won the 1st, 3rd and 4th quarters: the 4th by 12, and the Jazz out-rebounded HOU, 58-40. Kessler had 17, Laurie 10. Keyonte George came off the bench and had 30, with 5 of 8 from 3. Jazz outscored HOU 66-36 in paint. I watched HOU beat MIN the other day and it was a good game, tight. They didn't have it in SLC. ---------------------------- Soooo: what in the Wide World of Sports is wrong with Embiid now? He got benched in the 4th Q. In PHI, Claxton tips in a last-second shot to beat them 105-103. 76ers are 20-36 now. My favorite player for them, easily, is Maxey, who deserves some of Embiid's and PG13's $$$$. PG13: 40 mins: 15-7-2. Embiid: 31 mins: 14/7/5. 4 for 13. 0-6 from deep. 76ers down 17, tie it on a Maxey 3 with 15 secs left. Keon Johnson gets a pretty good look from 3 to win it, but it's short; Claxton made a great play on the rebound and shot to win it as time expired. What a mess the 76ers are. Is Embiid just a stone bum or is he really hurt, like all the time? Is he doggin' it in a major way? After the game a reporter asked PG13 about what might help his ailing teammate Embiid, and PG3 said, "drugs helped." He meant "drugs" helped him overcome pain issues, I think. But PG13 and Embiid both look like they were on some of the "bad" drugs. (Source) ---------------------------
