**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[KHUFU]

that bump can also be heel spurs. Can be recurring and annoying af.

Different kind of bump. The bump I am speaking of is on the outside of the heel, lateral to the calcaneous.

I got knee surgery tomorrow so if I die and you never hear from me, it was either the game or surgery but more likely the game.

good luck with the procedure tomorrow and all the ensuing rehab after G!

but still it's #WARRIORSIN7 FOR DAT ***

Yep and can allegedly prevent you from going to war

I’m having a really hard time predicting game 6. On paper, the Raptors have the advantage, they wear the Warriors down over the course of a game with their ball movement and tenacious defense. The Warriors have very little depth and struggle mightily to score outside of Klay and Steph. They NEED other players to step up. By the 4th quarter, the Warriors have been gassed.

On the other hand, the Warriors have home court tonight, a champion’s will to win and the experience of their 5 year run. The Raptors, other than Kawhi, Ibaka and Green, haven’t been in this situation before, do they have the poise to finish this off?

If the Raptors can avoid such a huge 3 point disparity I think they win game 6. The Warriors need to build an early lead and drown them early. If the game is close at half time, I think the Raptors win.

I think it’s a lot to ask the Warriors to shoot over 40 threes and nail almost 50 percent of them while expecting the Raptors to go 8-32. They are drained, emotionally and physically. Do they have enough in the tank to win again after a very emotional and gritty game 5?

I don’t think they do. I’m going to go with the Raptors winning game 6.

Yes, you can.
Once the tendon has been compromised, you get a lump on the outside of the heel. It looks and feels like a marble. After you wake up the day after the initial injury, you have a hard time placing the foot flat upon the ground, as there is pain straightening the leg while the foot is in the plantar flex position. Most people ignore this warning, and athletes ignore it most times thinking that treatment, stim, tub, massage, will alleviate the issue. If it continues, it is then diagnosed as tendinosis, which means that it is chronic. Under a microscope you'll see tiny tears, but no swelling. If you get tendonitis, you'll see plenty of swelling and larger tears. Both can lead to rupture if not treated with care. Usually a walking boot is recommended, but yeah, that sort of injury does no happen over night for players.

All you have to do is to focus on eccentric contractions, and dorsiflexion exercises in order to prevent this.

my dude came through with the full on explanation. KHUFU you involved in the PT/medical field?

Another thing too, it’s very slow healing which is frustrating for people trying to get back in to their physical activity as soon as possible. A lot of people don’t give it adequate time to heal.

That's crazy, he was out over a month. Musta been a ticking time bomb. I could only imagine if it would have happened during a practice.

Bro acting like Steph some underdog story. Yea his physique isn't the greatest but dude had every other built in advantage to make it. The family pedigree, stability, money, infrastructure, etc. Just stop.

at acting like financial privilege and wealth gonna make you the best shooter of all time with a dribble package

im not dismissing the fact that steph had advantages compared to other professional athletes, but some of yall go to incredibly great lengths to dismiss what bruh has accomplished.

ohh ok for sure for sure. because that bump right on the heel is really common. especially in women that wear heels. pump bump.

the one you're referring to is a sign that the achilles is already compromised or it happens after the rupture?

Correct. Poor blood flow area, with slow recovery abilities unless details are paid attention to. This injury did not need to happen to KD.

Trainers have finally listened, and then have figured out how to prevent ACL tears. All they had to do was to train the quads to be twice as strong as the hamstring, and this alone stops those horrific knee injuries. They have been down for a few years. Next up, proper training of the foot and ankle. Much of what the sports teams have learned has been through trial and error in regard to training and recovery. They've ignored science for a long time, listening to a bunch of yahoo's. However, insurance also gets in the way. People know what to do in order to protect these players, but the organizations sometimes just want to save money.

you didnt know? money is VC in real life. Wanna be a better hooper? Just go to footlocker and upgrade yourself b. Compression shorts gives you +10 speed. Tank tops is +5 strength. all you need is money and you'll be the best. Imagine all these poor people that have to workout everyday to be good, when all you have to do is hit the shop and glow up.

damn poor people.

I may have missed the point you were making.

Sounded to me like you were saying this is similar to people who discredited Jordan for his teammates.

Yeah, sort of. By no means was I comparing Steph to Jordan.

I just don't get the argument that Player X just got lucky with having a great Org., great teammates, great coach etc...it doesn't take anything away from player X.

Basketball is a team sport, and it takes an entire org to win. But at the end of the day, everything hinges on the Franchise's best player. The argument is always going be here, whether it's Kobe w/ Shaq, MJ w/ Pippen, Duncan w/ Tony & Ginobili, and the list goes on and on. The exceptions are few and far between, Like Dirk, Hakeem, and maybe (hopefully) Kawhi tonight.

 

[freeze]

Wait! When?

May 30th. Seems like right after those V's dropped, they bounced. I went in middle of last month and the workers had no answers. Said they were gonna reopen again later. Like where they are isnt already the prime spot. It's a wrappington.

Just online now. no more brick and mortar.

It is a sign that it is ready to blow. Always there, always consistent pre injury. It is a marble sized bump that appears outside, lateral of the calcaneous, near the insertion of the achilles.
