    How many players are going to pull out because of this?

    Why? Paul George starts a 5/$90m extension next season. If this happened in the All-Star game, would agents not want their players to be All-Stars?

    Kevin Love and LMA made business decisions to not play, based on risk versus reward as that applies to their contract status.

    This is 100% why I think trying to rehabilitate Derrick Rose as a superstar during this week is a bad idea, though. The NBA created this, and now the blame game begins.

    This injury is a game changer in the Central Division now. Firesale on Indy players probably coming up. They lost their two offensive weapons back to back. Huge setback. Wow! It's West's team now.

    Whoever put that Ware video up is messed up. Man I had actually purposely never seen even a still of it and that's the video you put up. Man, some people like myself don't do good with injuries. I didn't need to see that still.

    I agree with the exception of Rose. Rose might not want to risk this in the end and his coach got hit over the head with a tough choice

    In their defense they may not have known the still image when they linked it, they damn well did once they posted it though.

    Indeed distasteful.

    You make your own luck.

    Luck is the residue of design.

    Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

    Or if you prefer: Shit happens. ;)

    Yeah, I was watching the game on delay so I could rush through the commercials.

    Livingston dislocated his knee. This is a compound fracture. Think Joe Theismann.

    HCP, what would happen if you were working a game where something like that happened? Could you handle it or would you pass it off to someone else?

    BTW, I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm seriously asking.

    ESPN just said Kyrie Irving was out on the court 15 minutes after the game sobbing in his dad's arms.

    Is it wrong if I could imagine Dame wondering if the practice facility was open, since he didn't get a full run?

    I had no idea what the image showed on the still. I don't reread my own posts.

    I deleted it. I'm sorry.
