GriffinM6 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Very unfortunate for Giannis tonight. Hate to see the best player on both teams be out. I gotta say though, I'm proud as hell of my Hawks. The bench stepped up hugely and guaranteed one more game in Atlanta. It's been a fun ass ride, and win or lose, I can't wait to be there in person on Saturday.

Rockstar Matt Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Bucks fear it’s a torn ACL for Giannis… Eff this season. This is on Silver and the owners for pushing so many games in such a short time. If this is indeed the end of the season for Giannis, that means there’s no superstars or top 10 players left in the playoffs. This might be unprecedented in the modern era. I honestly can’t remember a Finals that didn’t feature at least one superstar. Might have to go back to the 70’s for the last time this happened.

who do you think Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It's gonna suck when Tatum goes down next year with the quick bubble turnaround and then volunteering himself for the Olympics chewing up his last two offseasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah, and I even remember thinking while Reggie Miller had some optimism about Giannis being able to walk to walk on his own that you can have a torn ACL and still do that. It didn't mean I was saying he'd torn his ACL, but it's far from an out-of-the-woods situation, either. :censored:, Klay shot free throws and tried to run on what later was shown to be a torn ACL.

BBTV Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 You can absolutely have a torn ACL and walk away. Hell - you can do plenty of things with a torn ACL... just not play basketball. IIRC there have been more than one hockey goalie that have played with torn ACLs. Carson Wentz played a series and threw a TD pass on a torn ACL.

SFGiants58 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 What was wrong with a 66-game season, like ‘11-‘12? Heck, maybe even a 50-game season like ‘99 would’ve been better for player health. Ah well, reap what you sew. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul George might not be top 10, but I'd say he at least qualifies as a superstar. It is kind of ironic that the much-maligned "Playoff P" is the last superstar standing in the playoffs.

Still unofficial until I see the Bucks themselves say something, but if true, couldn't have asked for better news. Still would try to take the series without Giannis. EDIT: Bucks have only stated that it's still just a knee hyperextension following the MRI, so I think it's fair to rule out a torn ACL. Fantastic news.

It is kind of ironic that the much-maligned "Playoff P" is the last superstar standing in the playoffs. I kind of think we throw out the term superstar a bit too much. By definition there really can’t be more than a few superstars in any given year. IMO, the superstars in the league currently are (in no particular order) LeBron, AD, KD, Harden, Giannis, Kawhi, Luka, Steph, and Embiid. Then you have players like Kyrie, Dame, PG, Mitchell, Jokic, Murray, Butler (and etc.) who are star players capable of either playing like superstars or ascending to that superstar level in any given year. But Paul George has certainly been playing like a superstar in these playoffs. No doubt.
