The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
continue. Remember, no video of Paul George's grisly leg injury please. Anyone who's intent on seeing it can go find it themselves.
oh my god that was ****ing gruesome....good god...why did I see that.

Yikes, the slow mo was awful. I had to turn away. Very nasty . Poor guy.
When a team can find that much potential with the 20th pick, it's nice value. Yet because of Caboclo's status as a relative unknown, the masses wondered why the Raptors didn't just wait until their second pick at No. 37.
Apparently, general manager Masai Ujiri didn't want to risk another team choosing the Brazilian first. Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reported Friday that the Dallas Mavericks held interest with the 34th pick and the Boston Celtics were also "fascinated" by Caboclo.
The Celtics would have needed to acquire another pick to choose him. But they have aggressively made draft-day trades in the past, and they repeatedly said they were open to adding another pick this year if the right situation came along. If the Raptors hadn't selected Caboclo so early, maybe Danny Ainge would have swooped in to take him with an early second-round pick. Or maybe not.
Obviously, we will never know if that would have happened. Ujiri put an end to the possibility by snatching Caboclo in the first round. But the Celtics fascination is something to keep in the back of your mind. Five years from now, if the Brazilian is tearing up the NBA, he will count as an intriguing what-if in Boston.*
I haven't bothered to look it up, but how does it compare to Anderson Silva's injury? That one looked pretty rough
What a terrible thing to happen. I feel like this era is cursed, we keep losing superstars to bad injuries.
Kobe, Rose, PG, etc.
Especially in the case of DRose and PG, odds are we will never watch them play to their potential ever again. Sucks considering how Rose was the best player in the league for a short period of time and was completely taking over.
Watched it, WOW. Wasn't expecting it to be that bad.
For anyone who hasn't watched it, think Kevin Ware, then ask yourself if you can stomach it before you watch.
TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors made some moves Sunday, signing centre Lucas Nogueira and guard Will Cherry.
TWolves expect to execute Love trade by end of August. Pretty much means Wiggins, right? Maybe Minny didn't think Wiggins would play for them and hold out to sign somewhere else?

Saw a tweet that they took Wiggins' Cleveland jersey off the market. Heard it's not really a matter of if Kevin Love and Wiggins get swapped, its a matter of when now.
The hot rumor is Wiggins, Bennett and a future 1st for Love.
