    Usually when they diagnose an Achilles injury this quickly it’s worst case scenario.

    There's a belief that high flying high light reel dunking big men are high risk for these injuries....Davis has had a bunch too..it's why Lamarcus never wants to play in the paint as a 5....Duncan never played that way....Nurk doesn't play that way...Marc Gasol doesn't play that way...they'll all have longer careers...280 lb guys dropping at full speed from 14 ft in the air...lotta impact

    Give the game ball to Ed - 15 pts @ 85.7% (100% ft), 13 reb, 3 blk
    Great work by Nurkic in only 17 minutes - 12 pts @ 60%, 8 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk
    Aminu with another great rebounding night - 7 pts @ 40% (50% 3p%), 12 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl
    CJ's 11 points in the first quarter kept us in the game - 20 pts @ 64.3%, 4 reb, 5 ast
    Dame with no points in the first quarter, did all his scoring in the last three - 29 pts @ 50%, 3 reb, 3 ast, 4 to (considering he had 2 to in the 1st 1/4 only 2 for the rest of the game is good)

    Pelicans are a bottom feeder team without Cousins.

    Lamarcus never wanted to play 5 because he wanted others doing the work for him so he could put up 20 mid range jumpers a game

    He's a total douche knob, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    Except Curry.

    He stated multiple times he'd seen so many players end careers and he wanted to pace his career....he didn't want injuries...said Greg Oden was a wake up call...it's why he wanted a rim protector in Portland..banging in the paint IS risky

    Dude, that guy had heart scare as a rookie. LMA has his issues, but being smart with his health is not something I can put against him.

    Sure, but as they say in racing, to finish first, first you need to finish.

    Turns out Dame was sick tonight. That's why he came out so flat. Felt like he was going to throw up, he said.
