Joel Embiid has a torn meniscus that won't require surgery and that is why he's been out.

Re: Embiid's injury. He's been doing light work for so many years that tearing a meniscus on limited minutes is worrying. He's not even playing intense above the rim basketball, he's operating smoothly from the floor. Maybe it has something to do with all the falling over that people have been talking about.


Sure he has the afro, but is his game 70s? I don't even know what 70s game is

I prefer it as it's the violence of the normal dunk, elevated, with a greater element of elegance and finesse. It's the dunker and the dunkee in an eternal waltz. The rim becomes nothing but a mere spectator, seemingly applauding the action.

Dwight Howard and DeAndre are up there too.

How long will he be out?

Depending on how much time he misses Embiid through the first 3 years will end up playing about half of what Greg Oden played through his first 3.

It just has to be thrown from above the rim, touching the rim isn't necessary.

What's even more absurd is that the heat are winning with basically their 3rd string wings and pf at this point. Dion waiters didn't even play against the bucks and they were destroying them way before jabari being injured.

Justise Winslow is out for the year so his awful shooting is no longer bogging down the Heat offense.

CharlestheHammer posted:

Both statements can be true.

The more teams added will surely put a bigger disparity between the top team and the bottom team. It's inevitable. But I'm confident a #32 ranked team now could dominate a #30 team from 10-15-20 years ago.

The bigger risk IMO is if they added 3-4 more teams and all the talent still went to the WC so that the EC became an absolute joke. Div. 1 vs. Div. 2 etc.

...the passer has no ability to affect if the shot goes in or not.

There's been SportVU data that shows some are better at giving people good assists that are passed at the right time/situation and also aimed perfectly. I believe Paul Pierce had the best ranking in this a few years back.

That's how you stay a dunker without having smashed and ruined fingers. Maybe we should put foam padding on the rim to make dunking safer
