Haywood ... Brutal

[capstone21]

Man that was gross

Feel bad for Hayward, but at least it happened to the Celtics. Just sayin'.

Looked like a lot of players almost did

Great comeback from Boston at the end of the 3rd.  I can’t remember the last time I saw a guard punk a forward repeatedly in the post like Smart is doing The Artist Formerly Known As Threezus.

And this is why pre-season predictions mean nothing, mortgaging your future for 1 player is risky and why you draft mechanics over athleticism.

That's a fracture-dislocation.  It will need to be reduced immediately and splinted.  Surgery will have to repair the syndesmosis of the ankle joint along with the fibular fracture and likely tibial fracture.  I would guess there is at least a posterior mallelolar component to the fracture as well.

And the flux capacitor of the endometrial flarfegnargin will need a chi square examination of the tear (or lack thereof) of the square root of his epididymitis inflammation. LOL

I was just explaining to someone that fantasy owners are panicking all over the place when... "hmmm... wait a minute..."

I was feel sorry for you  because you lost Haywood for a while .., now i find out that one of my players ( Draymond Green ) left the game with a knee injury. :(

Man, I feel bad for Hayward.  He has to be dissapointed.

Feel terrible for the guy. It looked more like a nasty football injury that could happen than something on the hardwood. On a good note for the Celtics last night was the game by Jaylen Brown which made them look wise to open up big minutes for him. He really showed for them and he doesn't even turn twenty one till next week. They'll still be very difficult to deal with this year. Unfortunately.

His break was not as bad as George's and George came back strong.   Maybe Heyward would too.

Feel very bad for Heywood, but couldn't have happened to a better team :)

I was told there'd be no math...

Yeah it’s a silver lining in a black cloud.  Everyone knows they’re ability to contend was finished the second the camera panned on him.  They’ll drop 3-4 slots in the playoffs and Ainge will have to pull a good trade out his ass.  The rumors about Al and whatever for Anthony Davis will kick into high gear.  On the other hand, Brown and Tatum’s very steep upsides are accelerated with experience.

Unfortunately his game will never be the same, much like PG-13, who is judicious with his high-impact play nowadays.  Ironically a lot of the players on the floor last night also were live witnesses to George’s gruesome injury as well.

Hayward was such a force after developing sneaky hops and unorthodoxed, hard-planting driving footwork for a guy his size.  Maybe these rapid changes to his game and style played a cumalitve part here but I’m no doctor like @KB21 apparently is.  

I enjoyed seeing him play versus Baze, their styles are exact opposites.  You’d barely notice him yet he’d finish with 25/7/5 without sweating out a single hair.  Get well soon man.  His smoking hot wife and new tax bracket should help with that.

I was pretty sure they weren't contenders this year with him but hate to see it for any player.  Like several others, the thought did run through my head that if any team had to have something like this happen at least it was the Celtics.

Donchu cuss like that on this here website.

Feel bad for him. That's a scary injury.

Surprising timeline laid out by Shavlik Randolph on Hayward's injury. Randolph had the same type of situation in the past. I thought it would probably take longer but really wouldn't expect 100% again for Hayward where as Randolph said his own injury did heal completely. Best wishes to a really good player on our arch enemy of a team, the Green. 

Interesting comments from Ex-NBA player/Celtics forward Shavlik Randolph, who had similar injury to Gordon Hayward. "It's about a 4-6 month recovery. The ligaments take 6-8 weeks and the tibia was about three months to heal in all the places it broke. Ironically, I had the same injury and as bad as it looks it does heal back to 100 percent and does so surprisingly fast. I think there's a chance he could be back this season if he really pushed it. The team will be cautious to bring him back too fast, but I think he could by the end of the season. Maybe not back to full 100 percent by then, but I wouldn't be shocked if he can and does play."
