2012 NBA Playoffs: I love this game!

KD is magic.

I was leaning toward lucky.

So did cramming a ridiculous number of games into a few months have anything to do with Rose's injury issues this year and now with the season ending injury? Will Rose ever be close to the same next year?

To the first question, of course not. In first place, Rose didn't play that many games. In the second, there were only 2 extra games crammed in per month.

Your just angry you don't get to go watch him in person at Key.

Cheap ploy to get DH back involved in this thread.

15% more games per month, many more back to backs and the days allowed for one's body to recover were reduced.

I don't know if knees are more likely to buckle when the joints, ligaments, muscles are fatigued.

Expanding the NFL schedule to 18 games doesn't sound like a lot to people, but when these sports leagues have already stretched out their players with the existing number of games, a seemingly small amount could push some players' bodies to the breaking point.

But again, knees buckle all the time and it happens throughout the season, though I would like to see if it tends to happen more often late in games or later in seasons. I can't remember the last time I saw two NBA players tear their ACL on the same day, it seems highly unusual.

Also, Rose may not have played that many games this year because the more grueling schedule might have been more than his body could handle. The guy pushes his body like Wade pushes his.

He missed almost half the games. You can't blame the schedule for that.
Besides, the numbers show that there were fewer games missed to injury this year than in an average year.
It is quite the coincidence that 2 guys had the same injury in the same day.

Man this crowd in Memphis is awesome.

Memphis is looking good. They're going to beat San Antonio again. Will the winner of OKC and LA beat them?

[TripletDaddy]

So I'm confused. Weren't the clippers supposed to be good this year??

[MarkGrace]

Down by almost 30. Yeesh. I feel a CP3 nut punch coming on.

[fusnik]

Holy shiznit.

22 to 1 run, Lob City!

[MarkGrace]

Uh...wow.

[fusnik]

Unreal.

Amazing.

[TripletDaddy]

I guess the clippers are good this season

[fusnik]

Trick Tony.
