Going to the Hawks suns game tonight. I enjoyed the Hawks/Rockets from the other night and while I would love for the Hawks to win(While I am a phoenix fan first and foremost, they need it more) Nash is playing this time and it could be rough.

The Knicks disappointed me tonight. But Zeke fucking blew it tonight. How do you not play the guy who helped you get that 11 point lead in the whole fucking 2nd half (Renaldo Balkman)? Why doesn't Cato play? And now we see how crucial David Lee is to this team in terms of rebounding and finishing around the rim. This team is a medicore rebounding team without him, and the best rebounding team in the league with him.

The Knicks losing and winning isn't ridiculous. With their age, they are a .500 team. Just like alot of other rebuilding teams. The Hawks are a .500 team, so I don't get bent out of shape when they win one and lose one.

I really hope Utah gets hot to take the 3rd spot. Oh man, I'd love to play them in the first round.

 

I'm fairly sure the Jazz would eat the Lakers for lunch. In fact, I don't think that the Lakers can hang with any of the top 5 teams in the west.

Phil owns the Jazz. They tried that physical shit tonight with Kobe and got ate up at the line and by Odom.

 

I'd rather play the Jazz than any of the other playoff contenders. Even Golden State.

Even without T-Mac and Yao, I'm not sure the Rockets should be dropping home games to the Celtics...

 

To add my two cents on the Jazz, I think their playoff chances are slim with the way they play defense. All the fouls you can get away with in the regular season against bottom-feeders will get whistled against playoff superstars. Guys like Kobe, T-Mac, etc. could wind up shooting 20 FT's a game against the Jazz in the playoffs. I still think they would beat the Lakers, but it wouldn't be a run over, and there would be some bitching about the refs.

Well there's our generation's Theisman.

 

No way. The Livingston injury looked bad, but not that bad, and it shouldn't end his career. I think the worst leg injury from our generation that I've seen is the Garrison Hearst 180-degree ankle twist that kept him out for two years.

Apparently Jamal Crawford has a stress fracture in his ankle and may need to have season ending surgery.

I think the McGahee injury was the worst I've seen. Looked like his knee was shot into the back of his leg on slow-mo.

MRI shows PG Livingston tore several major knee ligaments

 

Feb. 27, 2007

CBS SportsLine.com wire reports

 

LOS ANGELES -- Clippers point guard Shaun Livingston tore major ligaments in his left knee while driving to the basket against Charlotte, the team said Tuesday.

 

Livingston had an MRI exam which revealed tears in the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and lateral meniscus.

 

He also dislocated his patella, in addition to the previously diagnosed dislocation of his tibia-femoral.

 

Livingston was driving to the basket on a fast break, went up for a layup, and his left knee contorted as he collapsed in pain Monday night. A team doctor had to pop his knee back into place to alleviate the pain.

 

Livingston, a three-year veteran who was drafted by the Clippers out of high school, has been hampered by injuries and has yet to play a full season in the NBA.

 

He sat out two games in January with a sprained right ankle. He missed 39 games during his rookie season because of a dislocated right knee, and another 12 that season because of torn cartilage in his right shoulder. Last season he sat out the first 21 games with a stress reaction in his lower back.

 

Livingston, who has been sharing point guard duties with Sam Cassell, was averaging 9.5 points and 5.2 assists.

AP NEWS

I doubt he'll ever be the same again. He was already injury prone, but a completely blown out knee doesn't bode well for a guy with that kind of frame. It's a shame because he had a lot of potential.

I bet they wish they traded him for Iverson. The only reason his career isn't dust is because of the position he plays.

I have heard numerous people say that the injury happened because he was so skinney. Yeah. He should have hit the weight room and bulked up his ligaments.

 

Honestly though this might not be THAT bad of injury depending on how bad the tears were. Like if he has a bunch of partials he might be okay. If those are complete tears on ALL his knee ligiments...ugh.

I just remembered that I traded Livingston, Diaw, and Villanueva for Marbury, Artest and Luke in the TSM league. I probably won that deal, considering I was going to keep Livingston.
