Man...I hope bradley plays the next game.

There's probably zero chance that Bradley will be back this series, so that you know.

What?? I laugh at you. There is zero chance you know this, why even say something so impossible to know? What could possibly be gained?

They said he couldn't put weight on it.  That's not good.

Agree.  If it's just a pull, there's a chance that he tries to hobble back out there if this goes 6 or 7 but he won't be the same. 

Honestly, I just hope a pull is all it is.  That didn't look good at all.

We don't you Bradley's exact injury.  But we do know injuries.  And pulled hamstrings, especially ones you can't walk away from, don't heal quickly.  So while we don't know know, I would bet the farm what Bradley doesn't come back.

Terry Rozier. Welcome to the NBA.

after AB went down, i didn't care about this game. I thought he blew his knee. I have followed AB since he was drafted. and watched him become the player he is. I just couldn't care much about the win.

1. See Bradley walk off on one leg.
2. Hear him ruled out of game within 5 minutes.
3. Use brain.

Feel free to laugh.

Yeah it's pretty apparent that it was a serious injury.  No need to a be a jerk about it though.

[kozlodoev]

I watched him walk off. The way he looked I'll be just happy if there's nothing torn (and there's no way to know this yet because they ruled him out before they could even do an MRI; that's just not good).

[alldaboston]

That hamstring looked bad. Could be a few weeks. Hopefully we are still in it by then.

[j804]

The lineup switch going small after the half could be the key to still winning the series. Crowder on Millsap worked and ET gives is that other much needed shot creator. I feel good despite the loss we figured them out after the half, shot that bad and it was a 1pt loss? I'll take that all day.

Now if we lose AB for more than one game were probably done but think we can steal the next one

[alldaboston]

Brad was probably gonna change the lineup regardless. That first half unit was trash. But the second half was nice.

So... Could we see:
Isaiah-Smart-Turner-Crowder-Johnson/Sully

How would you feel about this?

Or do you keep Turner on the bench for offense?

I agree.

He can't even walk with that leg, chances are there's a serious injury going on in that hamstring of Avery's. No way he comes back in Game 2, maybe Game 3 as well.

With that said, do you really have to be so jerk-ish?

[positivitize]

Hey, to all those quick to diagnose AB.

Let's not have a ... KNEE JERK REACTION...

It's more of a hamstring jerk

Even without a medical background, sometimes you can just tell when an injury is serious.

If a player is ruled out that quickly, it's not a good sign.  If a player collapses in pain like AB did (and he's one tough SOB), it's not a good sign.  If he's unable to walk without a serious limp, it's not a good sign.

Reminds me of Barbosa's non-contact injury back when he was with us, just as an example off the top of the head.  I knew right away that it was really bad, probably a blown ACL.

According to CBS AB heard a pop... Yeah that's bad...
