Paul George is high on my list of favorite non-Blazers. His shot selection is shit at times and he kinda acts and plays like a beta. But he's absolutely destroying Derozan on the defensive side. I'd give up all our team outside of Dame to land PG. Sidebar: HELL NO to throwing the max at Derozan. He's getting exposed in the playoffs, and his lack of shooting makes him a massive liability.
Curry with a level 1 mcl sprain. He's going to be reevaluated in 2 weeks. This could change the playoffs, but I am glad it wasn't a tear.
I admit to being a bit ignorant about some of the medical stuff. Not sure. Just meant that I am glad it wasn't more serious. Something that could effect his career and such.
I just remember Mariota having an MCL sprain a few years ago, and it severely limited his mobility. Curry is another guy that relies pretty heavily on his mobility. It could really limit his effectiveness.
True. This could be a game changer in this year's playoffs. I know Rudy Gobert had an mcl sprain that kept him out about 7 weeks this year. But I think that might have been a grade 2 sprain.
Greg Monroe missed two games with a grade 1 strain this year. Average time missed was two weeks for all players.
From what I understand, every 'sprain' is a tear of some kind. Just goes from very minor to a complete 'rupture'. Of course I could be wrong, I am just a back-seat poster.
Sometimes these nagging injuries can have more of an impact than expected. He comes back, is rusty, his timing is off, his shots is off. The team has trouble adjusting back and forth to playing with him then without him.
Not to mention how playing on injuries can accidentally lead to other more severe injuries. Does Curry still fall and sprain his knee if his ankle was 100 percent?
It is. but it doesn't effect your ability to walk/every day activity. It more effects you when you go to push off on it or plant. The knee feels weak & unstable. He possibly might not have full range of motion in his knee at the moment. But this two week timetable isn't set in stone. If I'm the Warriors he doesn't play play if it medically his knee isn't 100%. If the Warriors let Curry play and he pulled a Rose... Literally has nothing to do with the post I quoted about "best player" nor does it have to do with my post. You don't think Kawhi or Lillard are superstars? Okay...
