Jenksismyhero Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Really unfortunate. And such a freak thing. An inch shorter or longer on that landing and he's probably fine. Edited August 2, 2014 by Jenksismybitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 09:18 PM) He was unstoppable last preseason where no defense was being played. He has looked even better tonight, where very little defense is being played. It's all about his health. If he holds up, Bulls are in the Finals. Eh, a bit more defense being played. But they're clearly not trying that hard. Rose has his explosiveness back. He didn't look great in the half-court though, but that's expected.

Jake Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Is Paul George really in need of everyone's prayers? He got a bad injury, apparently some people get squeamish to look at it, but he's going to be okay. He's not dead. It's dubious to say his career is really threatened by this. He'll be back and pretty much the same guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
