We got one player back from injury so of course Ennis's injury in the last game rules him out this game

To be fair, Blake Griffin only played 3 games in 2020.

It's going to be a trend going forward though. Just watching him play he's obviously been advised not to do it for whatever is left of his knees sake.

Hmm. Magic Front Office acting strange.

They no showed an interview today. Also Cole Anthony let it slip that his injury is not what is being reported. Was reported as a Shoulder Strain. He said he actually has cracked ribs.

After the all star break is when they have said. I imagine that's a minimum.

That type of injury is linked to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (i.e. what Fultz had. It's likely Fultz did something similar but it got missed / misdiagnosed at the time of injury. The rib healed but the TOS / nerve damage remained, hence people not believing he was hurt/injured.

https://mobile.twitter.com/michellebgl_/status/1361816322770931712

Anthony may be alright as it's a crack and not displaced. It's the displacement that causes the nerve damage I believe

All Star starters were announced

West: Steph, Luka, Lebron, Kawhi, Jokic
East: Kyrie, Beal, Durant, Giannis, Embiid

I feel like Dame should have gotten one of the guard slots in the west and maybe Harden over Kyrie but the rest is pretty good

There's all-encompassing stats like defensive rating and defensive win shares. There's also websites that analyze individual play but they cost money. A good indicator of a good defensive player can be stocks (combined total of blocks and steals) being over 3.0.

I agree with this in terms of surprises, but Suns legitimately look like they could actually do something in the playoffs.

Not sure howd they stack against a complete healthy Lakers team, and while the Jazz look really good they are like the Suns they havent ever actually done much.

In any case I havent been this excited for a Suns team Im fucking years, and they actually play defense so this year may be their year.

So what do you guys think about this topshot thing? I've been looking more into it and it's...something. Sounds like the site is getting slammed and having a whole host of technical problems, but the premise seems interesting. Anyone that's looked into it have any opinions? Will this flame out, or take off?

I've never heard of topshot. Quick google search, it doesn't seem like something I'd be interested in, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it took off. People like collectables.

Simmons + Embiid out for ASG with covid tracing. They went to get haircuts and the barber tested positive gg. Wonder if they can get replacements in the last like 7 hours or whatever.
