It is always amusing when fans call out players for not being as tough as they are, or my favorite: "If I were making $8 million per year I wouldn't let injury slow me down".
True. I've also gotten through that, and there's no way you can play. If it's hard enough, you'll be barely able to move... Injuries are a b*tch. I may say sh*t about players if they suck, but not if they're injured. Sometimes, your only option is to rest.
Anyone who reads my posts with any kind of regularity, know my disdain for Dun, but he looked good last night. Coming off the bench seems to be his niche. Keep up the good work Dun!
When he came down and just crumbled, I immediately thought it was his knee, so I went "Oh ****" to myself, but then Barnett said it was a cramp.........and when you do get a really bad cramp, you immediatly stretch the muscle in the opposite direction of the where the musles are directed at. You don't crumble to the floor for couple minutes in front of everybody like you just got shot in the chest multiple times. The kid was sprawled across the floor with a cramp. I've had a Grade III ankle sprain where theres a complete tear, there was 5 more minutes in the game, and the coach took a timeout, I then took a break for the next 2 baskets, wrapped it up completly, tied my shoes. played the last 2 and a half minutes because nobody could defend the block. I eventually went to Arthur Ting, and rehabed for a year and never played basketball game again. but Ellis needs to step up with the toughness
