i hoping it wasnt just some terrible decision and that his meniscus was beyond repair or something

Bledsoe had a previous problem with that knee right? I wonder if they were looking at being able to play for five years mostly healthy or ten years always on fete injured list
Hopefully he'll be good- can anyone think of other players with similar?

how did autocorrect change "the" to "fete" burn in hell jony ive
Bledsoe slotting nicely into the "talented shooting guard from the Clippers who is now always going to be injured" position

But yeah I asked upthread who are the explosive young point guards who have come back 100% from knee injuries
I guess Shaun Livingston?

hypebrook im guessing is prob gonna be totally ok
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 January 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
Livingston is an ok reserve but he was a good solid starter who was coming into his own. I'd say he's about 65% of what he was.
― Spottie, Saturday, 11 January 2014 20:07 (ten years ago) link
Yeah it's just two surgeries in less than a year on the same knee is kind of worrying xp

well three actually

Can't wait til the day when you like lick a swab or something and then a month later the doctor's grown some cartilage from your tongue cells and stitches it into yer knee

nah... PG and lance make the leap. suns explode. most efficient lebron season ever. new york teams implode. raptors post-rudy gay transformation. thunder juggernaut engaged.

the whole tanking thing is mostly media-created garbage anyway. Most of the supposed tanking teams have been pretty fun to watch, it's the ambitious teams that have been miserable

I don't know how to feel about the whole meniscus thing. Re-tearing after a repair is certainly not a great thing.

also they have those secretic satanic ritual healing powers in Phoenix so it'll probably be alright

J.R. Smith, SG27 MIN | 5-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 6 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 14 PTS | +20[INT. a sterile white room with a large metal table at its center. A laboratory. Camera holds on a large box sitting on the table. Pan out to reveal MIKE WOODSON and JAMES DOLAN standing in an adjoining room, staring into the laboratory through one-sided glass.]
[A DOCTOR enters]
DOCTOR: Good afternoon gentlemen, I hope you haven’t been waiting long.DOLAN: Just so long as the results are…satisfactory.WOODSON: Results don’t play the game.DOCTOR: I think you’ll find them more than adequate. [Presses a red button on a console under the one-way glass] Yes, bring in Subject A, please.
[The door in the laboratory opens. JR SMITH enters wearing a hospital gown, his eyes wide but dispassionate. He sits at the table. An ORDERLY follows behind him]
ORDERLY: Open the box, Subject A.WOODSON: [Concerned] Boxes don’t play the game.JR: [Opens the box in silence, peers in to examine the contents, his face suddenly distorted in panic but his body unmoving, as if wrapped in an unseen straitjacket]DOCTOR: [Presses the button again] You may proceed.JR: [His arms springing into action, he turns the enormous box over, spilling its contents on the large, metal table. A dozen pairs of size-14 high-top sneakers, their laces all untied. He feverishly begins to tie them]WOODSON: Shoes don’t play the game.DOLAN: [His lips curled in a smile of ecstatic disbelief] Just as you told us it would be.DOCTOR: My methods may be irregular, sir, but my results are above reproach. While his brother Chris sat on the bench in his stead last night, providing a near perfect body double, we performed the controversial Pipenovsky treatment. To the Subject, the sight of a shoelace secured with anything less than a firm double-knot is now as abhorrent you or I would find, oh, I don’t know: maybe the carcass of a brutally murdered kitten.WOODSON: [Nodding in agreement] Brutally murdered kittens don’t play the game.DOLAN: And this is for real?DOCTOR: [Pressing the button] Phase Two!
[Three more orderlies enter the room, roughly yanking JR away from the table and holding him securely by the arms. The first orderly picks up a pristinely tied shoe, walks up to JR, stops 3 feet from his face, and, in one continuous motion, pulls one end until the knot is utterly dismantled]
JR: [Eyes bulging, face contorted in tortured dementia] WHA—NOOOOO!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [He throws one of the orderlies off in an effort to get to the untied shoe and has almost freed himself of a second when the third plunges a syringe into his arm. JR falls limply into the arms of his aides]WOODSON: [At a whisper] Powerful horse tranquilizers…don’t play the game.DOLAN: And when he wakes up, he’ll still be like this?DOCTOR: Absolutely. The treatment is irreversible. Actually, one thing: just make sure he doesn’t have a hot shooting night where everyone praises his indisputably brilliant play right when he gets back because if that happens there’s no telling what the fuck he’ll do next.

I was thinking on the plane today that Dwyane and Blake both had major knee operations and both came back and were explosive
― 龜, Sunday, 12 January 2014 21:57 (ten years ago) link
but blake getting an ACL repair is diff than having a ligament completely removed
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 12 January 2014 22:04 (ten years ago) link
Wait who's getting a ligament removed?
You mean the meniscus

yeah whatever it is
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 12 January 2014 22:10 (ten years ago) link
there's a fundamental difference b/w something getting repaired/replaced than removed all together
I think it was revealed that DWade had his menisci removed in college and that's why his knees are so fucked up now
But it was a glorious few years when he first entered the league
