    I watched the slow motion gif to see exactly what happened: landed on foot, tibia/fibula snapped.

    His ankle wasn't hurt. It's a clear tibia/fibula injury.

    I haven't felt this bad since the Oden injury, and it was a similar non-contact injury as well.

    Actually, I feel worse, because I actually like Nurkic as a person.

    Fuck this sucks.

    The NBA needs to do something about this. That’s two injuries to two of our star players in a little over a week as a result of not being able to land after going up for a layup.

    Not blaming but it shows how fragile a team's season can be--he hits both we either lose or win in regulation and move on to the next game.

    It was meant to be tongue and cheek, clearly in bad taste on my part.

    Dame talked about him in the post game and just said nothing but good things and further talks about how great a person he is by saying that Nurk went over to his house after practice to see dames kid and how they are all doing and whatnot. Fuck shitty things always happen togood people and good things always happen to shitty people. The world is so fucked up.

    Anyone else wanna use Dudley’s face as a speedbag? I now hate that motherfucker more than Ariza (for injuring Rudy back in the day).

    that's exactly how it played out in my mind. Just as I was exhaling from what looked to be a really bad knee injury for Damian, and realized he was fine..this shit happens. But the difference is, you could tell right away this wasn't just a banged up shin. The close up with the camera didn't help at all.

    So, I watched all of regulation at work and decided to go home and watch OT at home. I get home and get two text messages before I can start watching it. One says "Are you watching the game?" which I thought maybe it might have been an exciting OT. The 2nd one however says "There goes our season." So I'm thinking fuck that means Dame gets hurt in OT.

    When Dame got his knee injury, I went back and watched it a couple of times and was about to text him that Dame will be fine, it's one of those things that's sore for a few minutes but not serious and before I could finish texting the Nurk thing happened. So the whole time I thought it was Dame and breathed a big sigh of relief too and then the horror of the Nurk injury.

    FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
