[Mark Antony]

AD & Embiid need to consider changing their strength and conditioning coaches plus hiring or replacing their current nutritionists.

They really need to spend some time with a good kinesiologist.

All these unicorn 7 footers are injury prone.

I'll keep saying it, the human body wasn't meant to run and jump like that for an extended period of time at that height and weight.

Lowkey feeling bucks and hawks advancing

Who do you high-key feel will advance?

This is the playoff thread.

A lot of good teams that deserve our respect vying for the first NBA championship since 2019.

Let's try to stay on topic.

Nah man we got time. Almost 10 hours before tip time. West coast laker fans like Maximus Meridius just now waking up.

I forgot they were all on different coasts with the Cowboys fans

The whole notion that MVP caliber players don't spend enough time working on their game/bodies always blows my mind.

You don't become that elite w/o constantly working, there is no guaranteed way to avoid injury. it's relatively about luck

That's probably the only thing saving KD is that he weighs like 175 lbs.

 

[Mark Antony]

guys who actively root for half the NBA and still ain't celebrate a championship?

Never thought about that but that is funny since the ratio is in their favor. Those people got like 7 teams and none ever hit.

You know how it is you being from the Bay area/Dallas/Houston/Nebraska

He’s had his share of injuries too, but not as chronically as guys like Embiid and Krispy.

KD just had a major injury

Bruh ain’t you a Celtics fan?

 

[Tony $now]

I’m not a doctor but alot of these dudes play hundreds of games before they even hit college or the nba. I’m 36 so I came up in AAU but we still had off seasons or played other sports as well. I think the sole focus on basketball year around, plus players being bigger, stronger, faster, could play a big part in all of these ligament injuries.

 

[QU!K]

Kuzma still better than Tatum?

 

[lawdog1]

A new era does indeed appear to be upon us.

KD just had a major injury

That he just bounced back from seamlessly because he doesn't have an extra 50 pounds weighing on his joints.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

KD just had a major injury

And had a major foot injury in his mid 20's.

His ability to recover is amazing but he's had 2 injuries now that washed up most other players.

That's the point, everyone gets injured. But not weighing 260+ certainly gives your body some reprieve during the rehab process.

Not everyone can keep their strength and quickness while they lose weight.

I'd say KP is pretty damn light. He lost weight in the offseason and yet still washed and injury prone.

Durant isn't a replicable situation.

This is skewed because they forgot to mention KD and KD still has a chance.

But oh well!
