nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

permit an asymptomatic player to return to action after two negative tests

should add: this two negative test rule only applies to *vaccinated* players

Jalen Rose says Chris Paul has been vaccinated.

Hopefully that means he won't miss too much time after entering the NBA health and safety protocol 🙏🏼pic.twitter.com/5gCVqN4Cne

*reading state farm script*
"Miss WCF game 1 due to covid protocol?"
*ring poofs*

harsh but allowed.

the ultimate playoff p test

Clippers fear All-NBA star Kawhi Leonard has suffered an ACL injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. He is out indefinitely.

jesus christ dude

it’s always a bad sign when there’s a knee injury that happens on or after a guy has just planted his leg

ffs

carnage

hawks will win the nba playoffs

the degree to which this championship is just sitting there for the bucks…….

they should take next year off and reconvene in 2022

Given his injury history I’d imagine Kawhi will miss a season. Maybe it could be one of those sprains that doesn’t need surgery but you gotta tread him with kid gloves.

seems like the only question at this point is whether he's back by next year's playoffs

anyone seen video of what happened to kawhi? i cant find anything

that sucks

thx jordan. i mean he played through it so hopefully its just a strain or partial tear?

lmao lebron finding a way to make this about himself

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4BvMLlVEAIQTd1?format=jpg&name=medium

but it was ok LAST year in the middle of the pandemic cos his team had a chance and he was healthy

I wish LeBron would have started signing off all his tweets with "Just my thoughts."

who didnt want to listen to him when he said what, whats he talking about lol

lebron is such a dad

tbh attributing kawhi's injury to the compressed schedule seems specious to me, ppl in all sports tear their ACLs planting and exploding all the time, just feels like one of those random unavoidable things. he was one of the most rested stars this year

wtf is PURE RIM REST

exactly. hes just mad and making excuses cos he wasnt healthy for the first time

lebron is mad that he was playing the portland trailblazers during Purim, a day of rest

pure rim rest
pure rim rest
pure rim rest

can't stop thinking about it

lol what total horseshit

8, possibly 9 ALL-STARS

lebron is mad that he was playing the portland trailblazers during Purim, a day of rest

lol

yah i dont get about half of sufjans posts but that was funny

hmm, wonder who that one player is

The NBA announces that one player, out of a possible 164 tested for COVID-19, has returned a confirmed positive test since June 9 ... after three consecutive weeks with zero positive tests leaguewide.

Embiid was 8-8 in the 1st.

I guess I'm going to be that guy: had that bump by Capella on Embiid happened to Young, they'd just award him the championship right there.

joel not looking particularly injured

Hack a Simmons!

why cant he shoot lmao

Embiid has got capella in the torcher chamber

clint mad

That flop lol. rodman tactics

yeah he orchestrated that whole thing

Hack a Simmons!
