Was watching the game with my wife, an RN. She immediately said: "Achilles. He'll be out for a year."

Really sucks. I don't like the Celtics, but I never want players to get hurt. And Tatum was having a brilliant game.

Certainly looked like an achilles tear, could even see the vibration in his calf. Sucks. I like Tatum.

Players are soft today, not like when Jordan and Cousy were playing.  You never saw guys get hurt back then

I really don't like Tatum...viscerally. But I do feel bad for him. That's an awful injury that seems to be increasing in frequency.

Tanking for fun and no profit at all:

This was the third straight year that the team with the worst record got the #5 pick in the draft lottery.

The lottery does its job.

Still, the teams all know the best odds to building a winner is very high draft choices. Tanking will continue because the #5 pick is significantly more valuable than say the 10th in the NBA.

Jimmy gets fed into the wood chipper

The alpha that the Warriors always needed took a total of 9 shots in a more or less must win Playoff game without Steph available.

I'm a Jimmy fan, and I've been surprised about his reluctance to be more assertive with Steph out. He seems especially reluctant to challenge Gobert; he wouldn't be the only one, but given his tough-guy reputation, it's still surprising to see him intimidated.

Of course, it's also possible that Butler is nowhere near healthy. Like, really still hurting a lot.

He's also 35, and the way he plays ages him quicker than others.

I don't think Boston would have won last night but you hate to see an injury like that. 

Brunson is even more special than I realized.  I remember thinking it was crazy he fell to the 2nd round, but I didn't expect this kind of dominance.  He can get anywhere he wants on the floor even though many questioned his quicks.  Incredible footwork and overall strength. Letting him walk was not a good decision by the Mavs to put it mildly.

He was clearly in a lot of pain.  But your point about old-timers not getting injured is worth a detailed analysis.  Iverson and Stockton always balled.

The reports coming out now about the Celtics future are not great for Boston fans. Looks like salary cap hell starting next year plus no Tatum.
