Anthony Davis might miss game 6, Warriors in 7

[coastalmarker99]

Once again the dirty Warriors benefit from taking out a star.

Kawhi in 2017.

Ad now.

The Wheelchair makes its return! :oldlol:

It seems like they are intent on calling this a ‘head injury’ rather than a concussion. I imagine they are doing what they can to avoid concussion protocols and have him ready for game 6. Concussion protocols are gay anyway. It’s just a bump on the head, it’s not like he sprained his ankle.

I already said they were rigged to win it all again. Turns out to be really true, tsk.

[dankok8]

I think Davis will be fine and play in Game 6.

[highwhey]

OP, can you please make a thread predicting the Nuggets will win the series against Phoenix?

thanks

That was his fault for milking it.

No way in the world he got a concussion from that. He's just doing his typical bitch thing.

Guys can we stop pretending we're tougher than a 6'10, 250 lb athlete in peak condition.

[HoopologyPhD]

No prob LBJ will do like Magic in the Finals and replace Davis as Center and skyhook his way to another rang

Hot take. I don't think Zaza did it on purpose. I'll die on that hill.

Being large or athletic and being tough are not the same thing. Genetics make you large. Going to the gym can make you athletic to some degree. Being tough is mental. There was a guy in WW2 named Audie Murphy who lied about his age to join the army after Pearl Harbor and had to beg his way in after he was rejected for size. Dude was like 5’3” 110 pounds. They tried to make him an army baker but he insisted on fighting. He was basically Captain America without the serum.

He made it in and ended up being one of the most decorated people in American military history. Won every single award that existed at the time and won the medal of freedom for climbing onto a burning tank and holding off an entire nazi attack on his own for an hour as his men retreated.

One man standing exposed on a burning tank with his rifle and the 50 cal vs a couple hundred Nazis and he killed like 50 while ignoring having been shot.

I’m sure he couldn’t make the nba but he damn sure wasn’t a *****.

Toughness isn’t your athletic ability. If an athlete acts soft he’s just soft. Plenty of normal people are tougher than athletes who had the genetics to be large.

Could be one of your best posts and should be very informative for people who haven't heard of one of the most decorated veterans in US history.

AD hustles constantly, takes a beating from an array of muscular 6’10” dudes every night, recovers from multiple injuries and continues playing hard, and it’s always the armchair hoopers who haven’t ran a lap in decades calling AD ‘soft’ and ‘glass’ on the internet.

We a fan says a player can’t shoot do you take that to mean he can’t shoot compared to someone pulled out of a Burger King kitchen in Alabama or that he can’t shoot relative to the people he is being compared to?

We're not comparing AD to a normal guy. We're comparing him to his peers. He is an NBA player that has a low pain tolerance, plain and simple. His conditioning has nothing to do with it.

It's nothing new, it's just who he is.

I'm former military and worked with people that don't have half of his athletic ability but are far tougher (so I guess I am comparing him to "normal guys.") I've seen people that have obliterated the bones in a limb that didn't react the way he did to an elbow to the face.

Just because you're a great athlete doesn't mean you're tough, and vice versa. I know low pain tolerance when I see it. Doesn't mean he's not a great player because he is, he is just not great at managing pain and playing through it. Some just can't block that out.

As long as he has no pain though, it's clear sailing for him.

i think a lot of americans on this board have been sheltered all their lives and have never gone through "tough" situations so their frame of reference is...skewed.

[Goldrush25]

If someone wants to see toughness after taking a shot to the head, look up Glen Davis after getting elbowed by Dwight Howard. It was a worse shot than what AD got. The dude was staggering down the court but he was trying to play on. That's toughness.

And also a good argument for the concussion protocol...

AD's been injured multiples of times and has returned into MVP shape in nearly every instance. That is being both mentally and physically tough, regardless of his physical build.

I don't know why AD praise makes so many people angry

That's not toughness. dude literally didnt even know where he was

Yea but it was Big Baby. He's retarded. Hard to do concussion protocol on him.

Run down the injuries he’s had that tend to derail a career. Did I miss an acl tear or something?

What was his most serious injury?

I acknowledge I may have just forgotten a ruptured whatever along the way.

[tpols]

AD is going to play tommorow.

If you watch the replay, it looked like he barely even got hit. He is a drama queen having to be escorted out in a wheelchair for that blow, shades of Paul pierce...

Honestly LA probably just wanted to rest him since they weren't coming back anyway. He'll probably come back in Game 6 with a mask on and shoot 20 FTs.

He is a phenomenal basketball player, future HOFer. I'm praising him right there. He just has low pain tolerance. I don't think it's an insult, just an observation.

He doesn't get extra credit for coming back from injury. It's his job, bare minimum, that's what he's getting paid to do.

Let's see if I can better illustrate the difference. Long time ago Ronnie Lott severely injured his pinky finger during the last game of the season, and opted to have part of that finger amputated just so he wouldn't miss a game. The finger could've healed properly if he'd had a bone graft done, but would've required him to miss the remainder of the playoffs.

I'm not saying Ronnie Lott did the smartest thing there (pretty dumb actually) but there are levels to what people are willing to go through to keep playing. Lott is someone that I'd consider to have high pain tolerance. Finger amputation and didn't even miss a week.

Hell, I saw little Isaiah Thomas get his teeth knocked out during a game and he kept playing. That would've put AD out for 3 weeks.

Just because he's 250 lb and in good condition doesn't make him a mentally weak bitch.

Yeah these keyboard warriors are hilarious lol. I doubt any of these clowns could even take a slap to the face without falling down & crying.
