2024 NBA Season Thread aka The Zion High Deductible Healthcare Plan

Jimmy Butler injured his MCL and won’t play in the 8th seed play-in game, and if the Heat advance to the playoffs, will probably be out for its entirety. Too bad. I always enjoy watching Butler in the playoffs.

That means Butler played 3 quarters on a torn MCL!

His steals in that game even after he was clearly hurt, were impressive. He not only knew the Bulls sets, he knew exactly the timing they ran them in.

I guess not but it doesn't sound good.

A sprain is still a partial tear....

A sprain is still a partial tear....

That is true, but the MRI happens this afternoon so they aren't even certain it's the MCL.

Where are my wrestling fans at? @TBrown and @Notorious B.E.N I just found out Josh Hart + Isaiah Hartenstein is referred to as the Hart Foundation.

Frank Isola eviscerates Lillard at about 45'.

Neither of them were wrong. The “I guess we will sweep you” lines were funny.

@The Dog reports Kawhi wil miss Game 1 of series vs Dallas. I told you one Kawhi injury away from sitting on couch with LeBron watching NBA Finals.

Lucky the Bulls played pretty good in 2nd Quarter so making it a close second half is achievable or realistic.

 

[firestorm]

This game become an utter joke.

 

[firestorm]

I’m less sad because still going to be entertaining NBA Playoffs including the Knicks could realistically reach the 3rd Round or the NBA Finals.

Stephen A Smith has high expectations for the 2nd seed Knicks to make the Eastern Conference Finals aka the third round.

The Knicks have repeatedly disappointed with underachieving despite great potential after the Ewing Era so that’s a high bar except achievable.

Knicks fans have to be very happy since they defeated the 76ers in a thrilling competitive game in Madison Square Garden.

These playoff games all feel like blowouts so far.
