And that ladies and gentlemen is the padded room in a nutshell.

I laughed...

So, do you agree that KD did the right thing when he left when he did? I somehow wasn’t getting that from your prior post.

do i agree? you mean this is about opinion and not empirical evidence and rules?

i do not agree or disagree that kd did the right thing because it is not for me to decide what the right thing is for kd, is it. i'm sure he was more than capable of sitting on the bench or behind the bench to watch the end of an elimination game and all the games prior. he's kevin fucking durant.
who's going to stop him? he chose not to.

people seem to have opinions about that

You'd better find a safe place to be in case they lose. See: Vancouver 2011.

Huge difference between Hockey & basketball in Canada

Toronto & Vancouver also very different.

But should Armageddon break out I think I will be OK in my posh hotel in the Financial District

^^ well, the whole widespread cheering of a devastating injury makes me think otherwise.

annoying this NBA playoffs has not been about the basketball.

For about 12 mins before KD got hurt, we got to see some good play... so there’s that...

Ah, so the whole point of your previous post about some obscure blazer player who was injured but came in to watch part of a play off game and seemingly lifted the spirits of his teammates enough to win that game - that was completely unconnected with anything KD did or did not do? Even though, people were discussing KD’s injury at the time, and the fact that he immediately left the stadium. Your anecdote was unrelated to that?

It’s great when they double down on stupid with more conviction the second time.

no more conviction. it's pretty much exactly what i said the first time. are you saying he was not capable of sitting on or behind the bench?

Not without sticking his fucking leg out on the court.... bending his knee is going to hurt more.

Behind the bench? What is he going to do... kick some fans out of their seats?

I've NEVER seen someone get hurt to the degree they need a leg brace and come back out during the same game.

was he capable? That's a bizarre question. Yes, of course he was physically able to sit there, it's not like he had a gaping ass wound that prevented him from sitting in a chair, and I'll assume (though can't know for sure) that they could have found a way to accommodate him such that he could have elevated/iced his foot (because I also guess that would be the protocol after an injury like that) while sitting courtside.

Was it reasonable for him not to do so? That's the only question that matters.

Cheapest ticket on stubhub for tomorrow night’s game 6 is over $650 with fees

[garyfromterrace]

He tore his fucking Achilles. No he shouldn't sit in the bench. He should get drugs and medical attention. My day drinking today has given me elevated powers of observation and acuity.

[4matic]

Stub hub is ass. Lol..

KD has surgery 24 hours after injury and dopes still think he should have hobbled back to courtside in crutches. That’s just wishing harm on someone.

So you're thinking he won't start in Game 6, but maybe come off the bench?

Surely he can come out in a wheel chair to inspire the team. Maybe stand and wave to the fans. Can you imagine.!?

Nah, he’d just get criticized.

If he was a real man he would. Fuck.

of course it was reasonable for him not to do so. it was not his only choice.

i have to say i'm pretty sure i've seen people in all kinds of fucked up states in various sports come back to see the finish with their team.

Thermal pack is a leg brace?

So you're saying that Rudy T should've just sucked it up (or rather, spat out the spinal fluid) and returned to the floor to play?

Get a job loser. lol..
