yo dejan i don't have pms so ill just put this out but you let me know about ASTYM for my achilles injury like 2 weeks ago and i've been doing that poo poo at home and it is like a loving miracle i can walk almost normally now in tennis shoes w/ a heel lift, just a slight hitch in my gait and i hope to see continued improvements by the law of the desert i am your man now, ask a favor of me and u shall have it

Man I must have read 50 achilles recovery blogs and no one talked about soft tissue massage but most of them are focused on surgery rehab which wasn't really applicable. Only ONE site mentioned blunt force damage and that was still about surgery. Its more a failure of my health care provider in sum. Surgical podiatry, regular podiatry, and rehab were all loving useless to me. Physical therapy had no one to do soft tissue work, they recommend I go outside (wtf am i paying for??) At least my surgical pod gave me time off to recover.

RaySmuckles posted:its kind of a marvel to me because i remember watching the warriors in like '13 and '14 and being like, hey this scrappy team is cool and going to be pretty good once they overcome their injury problems. I just want to say, as a relatively new shitposter in this here dead basketball forum, RaySmuckles is someone I admire for his Takes. His Takes are genuine with just a hint of spice, exactly how I like my burritos. I don't even mind he's a Spurs fan, which is the milquetoast basketball fandom but shows a true appreciation for the sport. Thank you for the opportunity and the blessing of your posts

That's fine I partially agree with both points even if I am a fairweather bandwagon fan KD is a mama-boy-bitch but he's one deadly basketball player and Im glad he's on the Warriors and there are a ton of reasons to hate the Warriors but I still like em, they represent Cali well

Steph is infuriating though because he'll disappear at crucial junctures. I'm still mat at him, Festus Ezili and Steve Kerr for last year's finals, and this year isn't really a balm because the Warriors kinda cheated to win. This is what I meant when I said this championship wouldn't act to rectify the scales of injustice: Instead of a rematch, the Warriors went and put their thumb on their side of the scale and pushed. But hey the Cavs didn't stay still, and you don't turn down the opportunity to win that Durant offers.

He's a max player, adds offense to your team and isn't a hurtful defender, opens the floor nicely for isaiah and should be able to shoot 3s from IT passes. Celtics would still need another superstar+ to compete with Cavs but adding Hayward unquestionably makes them 2nd best in the east. A good center plus Jimmy Butler and, assuming IT comes back from surgery in top form, that's finally competition for Cavs If you're the Celtics there's no question , you sign him the second you can But do they also sign LOWRY?!?

Relocation fees plus... Who the gently caress leaves LA for Seattle, even as second fiddle?

Forget ticket sales, that's small potatoes.

Reduce the number of NBA teams while increasing D-league teams. This improves both the quality of pro play, increases the development of players, and gives more stratas of income an opportunity to see basketball. Half of the teams of ex post facho's list could be development-level teams already. Stop wasting taxpayer money on stadiums for lovely teams (looking directly at the Sacramento Kings) too.

If you could threaten Andre Drummond with being sent to a D-league team unless he shoots his free throws underhand, do you think he would?

Hey Morey I have an alternative, try talking to your coach about having a multi-faceted offense and maybe your team plays a lil defense now and then. Re Paul George he's not exactly overrated...he played extremely well against the Cavs, that series was way closer than it deserved to be. He just bricked a couple game-ending shots and didnt have a chance to take one. If I'm the Cavs I keep Love though, I don't need another ball-dominant player clogging the midcourt.... That Gatorade commercial was perfect irony though, 2 missed game enders and a pass out of 1 lmao oops
