[oh the horror]

Wtf is going on with the Warriors medical staff?

[Solefade]

what is up with these very shaky concussion reports? so does he have one or not? i feel like they've flip flopped like 3 times already

[SilkkTheShocker]

Zero sympathy for him. Literally, none.

[Fudge]

Lol.

He's gonna be good for the Finals. Don't know why people are ****ing worried about this ugly, witch-nosed clown missing time. He isn't.

[Mawly-G]

The "no timetable for return" is pretty worrisome. I wonder how long it will take him to clear their concussion protocol. Can anyone here offer any insight?

[chazzy]

Zero sympathy for him. Literally, none.
why

[SilkkTheShocker]

why

Because almost every team this postseason has been hit with injuries aside from GS. Who was their biggest loss? Speights? It wasn't until the end of the Houston series did they deal with any of this s.hit.

[BBallZen83]

why
Just common trolling.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Lol wtf? First they say Ear laceration, then reports saying "concussion-like symptoms"... then yesterday, "Klay Thompson does NOT have a concussion" then today, "Thompson diagnosed with Concussion, no timetable for return"

:biggums:

[jzek]

All that's left is for Della to do his job against Curry!

Further proof that LeBron sold his headband to the devil!

[Levity]

Zero sympathy for him. Literally, none.

Awww, that must bum out klay.

[Nuff Said]

So shouldn't you feel sympathy for them all? Or do you mean no sympathy for the team as a whole. Either way your reasoning doesn't exactly give good reason as to why you specifically feel no sympathy for just him alone.

[r15mohd]

Lol wtf? First they say Ear laceration, then reports saying "concussion-like symptoms"... then yesterday, "Klay Thompson does NOT have a concussion" then today, "Thompson diagnosed with Concussion, no timetable for return"

:biggums:

all a ploy by the GSW to keep Klay from being assessed in case the series went on with the Rockets. when that didn't happen, they had to face the media, and when you aren't in light-practice after just a laceration/contusion, you've got some 'splaining to do :no:

[jzek]

Lol wtf? First they say Ear laceration, then reports saying "concussion-like symptoms"... then yesterday, "Klay Thompson does NOT have a concussion" then today, "Thompson diagnosed with Concussion, no timetable for return"

:biggums:

This strategy is common in ANY sport. You don't want to say "Well, so and so player has xxx condition and will be out xxx days" because it will give the other team an advantage during preparation.

Common tactic for teams to pretend nothing major is going on and xxx player will play.

[BBallZen83]

If medically diagnosed with a concussion, the protocol to get back out on the floor becomes much more rigorous. My guess is that the medical staff didn't want to jump the gun, because you can't go back. Bottom line is you just don't play around with a concussion, and if that is what is going on, then they have to deal with it properly.

[chazzy]

So shouldn't you feel sympathy for them all? Or do you mean no sympathy for the team as a whole. Either way your reasoning doesn't exactly give good reason as to why you specifically feel no sympathy for just him alone.
Those suffering from autism lack empathy, so it's best to just leave him alone

[Jon_Koncak]

Ariza is a bitch and i dont buy that this was unintentional..you dont raise you knee like that when you go for a block,that wasnt a natural move.

[CelticBaller]

Lol wtf? First they say Ear laceration, then reports saying "concussion-like symptoms"... then yesterday, "Klay Thompson does NOT have a concussion" then today, "Thompson diagnosed with Concussion, no timetable for return"

He's scared of bran

Well, yer dumb.

[ace23]

wasnt there just a report earlier that he was concussion free?
Yeah lol and ESPN reported both on their bottom line. I was looking like :wtf:

[Dubs510]

so confused :wtf:

[chazzy]

Lol wtf? First they say Ear laceration, then reports saying "concussion-like symptoms"... then yesterday, "Klay Thompson does NOT have a concussion" then today, "Thompson diagnosed with Concussion, no timetable for return"

:biggums:
Well you can't list someone with a concussion until they are formally diagnosed, so they just list another symptom in the mean time. He passed initial tests, and his agent said he was ok. But today he met with an actual neurologist and was diagnosed.

Honestly it was pretty obvious he was concussed. The way it looked and the fact that he was vomiting after the game and couldn't drive home.. yeah

[dazzer87]

Ariza on James's payroll.....

[Cocaine80s]

No excuses for the Warriros whatsoever. Cavs in 5

[alanLA92]

Damn, what kind of black magic bs did Lebron do last night for this to happen. :lol

[bdreason]

His dad needs to shut the fukc up. The guy was all over the radio that night talking about Klay throwing up and shit. You don't talk about team injuries to the media. As an ex-player he should know that. Guaranteed the Warriors got a call from the NBA the next morning.

[dh144498]

BREAKING NEWS: Curry just got in a car accident and is left in coma. Whole Golden State team is set on fire by an unknown entity.

As well they should. They should be fined a massive amount of money as well. First Curry gets a concussion, they show concussion symptoms on TV. The guy can't even walk back to the locker room. But somehow no one calls them out for it and Curry comes back in, directly breaking the league's protocols on concussions. The next game Klay gets a concussion, the team Drs clear him pretend there is no concussion while he is throwing up and has massive headaches. Cannot drive home from the game.

The team Drs should lose their licenses.

[ChrisKreager]

Do you think Klay will be cleared to play by Thursday?

Good thing there is a 6-9 day break between now and at worst game 2 Sunday

[ace23]

Can the Warriors be punished for this?

I'm a PA, I've worked with Marines for 4 years now. Seen a lot of concussions.

Every one is different. The proper (and best) treatment for a concussion is cognitive rest. That means pretty much doing nothing. Then you work your way up to light exercise, then up to full professional caliber practices before he should be cleared for games. If I were treating someone for a mild concussion, I think the typical course of treatment would take him out of action for at least 7-10 days. If it were moderate I would say 2 weeks would be the minimum time missed.

If he's not practicing right now I would be pretty concerned. I've seen patients with post concussive symptoms that last for weeks. And they don't have to play a physically exhausting professional sport.

But I'm kind of cynical and think the Warriors will fudge his paperwork to get him out there before he's ready.

[Genaro]

I don't think he will miss a game.

[Trollsmasher]

GSW should be punished for trying to circumvent the league rules when it comes to concussion protocols - 3 games ban for Thompson

It's about his son's health. Do you really think he gives a fukc if he's playing the next game or not?

[navy]

He will be fine by finals time.

Although shame on golden state for trying to hide this shit. You had a week off. Should have just diagnosed Klay the right way the first time.

[BigBoss]

He'll suit up game 1.

Yeah, what a piece of shit for caring about his kid. F*ck that guy!

The fact that they did what they did IN SUCCESSIVE GAMES seems to validate this as fact.

I got my first concussion a few months ago. I was completely amazed at just how bad it was vs what people will acknowledge. It is brutal. And you are at risk for serious and lasting symptoms if you get another concussion before you have healed from the previous one. Which is why I think this needs serious league attention and a million dollar+ fine.

uhh what if he was legitimately concerned for his son's health? :wtf:

[bdreason]

He can care about his son without going on the radio and announcing private medical facts to the world.

:biggums:

dis nikka was bleeding from the brain. he's gonna drop dead in the next few days. levoodoo went to far this time.

[outbreak]

Concussion can be hard to diagnose
Sometimes it takes days for symptoms to clarify

[Dro]

Well, people have been saying Curry has just as much impact as Lebron, so lets see it.....

[navy]

Klay wouldnt have been diagnosed had he kept it quiet. Putting his life in danger.

It's better this way. He should be fine by the time the finals start.

[Lebron23]

Warriors needs to hire this guy.

Really? Wow
That's pretty low even for you.

[That_Admiral]

he'll be back by the finals

[ElPigto]

What exactly did you want? For there to be no attention for this issue so Klay could risk his well being and your team has a better chance of winning? I don't really get issue of why you are pissed. The warriors deserve to be fined if they truly looked the other way in regards to his concussion symptoms.

[Meticode]

Hopefully he's ready for the Finals, but concussion recovery can vary. Some people take a few weeks for the symptoms to go away.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Not surprised.

I didn't buy the earlier report that he didn't have one, glad that the problem has been identified. Concussions are no joke.
