a play that is both absolutely terrible shot selection and amazing athleticism. wiggins was really good that game all around, while not getting like 4 calls.

Still, great to see. No love for the Clips :D

That was some strange footwork.

Also, as if we don't all read it, that new Goldsberry article on defense was amazeballs.

looked at the standings for the first time in a month or so, thought raptors were dead. how are they still 2nd in the east.

the defense article was very nice. player tracking data + scheme analysis is the holy grail of basketball analysis. but i feel the "moment to moment" matchup thing doesn't adequately take into account how team level defensive schemes can hang together.
with better data and data tools the quality of analysis will get better, and this is just the start of great things to come.

Derrick Rose reported Tuesday with right knee pain. An exam and subsequent MRI confirmed a medial meniscus tear of the right knee.

Surgery will be scheduled, after which a timeline for his return will be determined.

with Rose out that is 1 big team out of the way for the Raptors.
now if only Lebron can get hurt maybe they can make it all the way to the NBA finals where they'll get curb stomped

RE: Rose's knees.

once surgeons do anything more invasive than arthroscopic surgery on your knee you're never really the same.
the only exception to that is if the procedure is ligament reconstruction.
anything else .. and your knee is just never the same... and they keep having to cut you open again and again.

they babied him so much and he still has to go under the knife again. bulls fans have to hope , he just needs the arthroscope for this thing and he can get back in time for teh playoffs.

I understand that repairing a meniscus takes about 8 months recovery time.

Removing it has a faster recovery time but also...removes a piece of cartilage from your knee.

Rose has been so overtly cautious with his time tables in the past, I can't imagine he's going to go for anything but the safest/highest quality of life option.

EDIT: No judgement in that. He has every right to treat his body in whatever manner he see's fit.

Also, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe have all torn their meniscus. They remain the most explosive players in basketball.

Believe that it's the same meniscus he got surgery for last season, where he opted for a repair (and a longer recovery time) than a removal. It fucking sucks that he tore it again.

some good news at least

Yes, Left Knee ACL tear in 2012
Right Knee Meniscus tear in 2013
Right Knee Meniecus tear(???) today.

He's out for the season, there's no way he plays.

the DRs have already said they have to go in and see it to determine recovery time.

recovery time with a torn meniscus can vary greatly because part of the meniscus has really good circulation making recovery fast.
another part of the meniscus has "tendon-like" circulation and takes many months to heal after surgery

this is why some guys have a meniscus tear and they recover quickly and its like nothing happened.
other people get a tear in the part with very bad circulation and its almost like their knee is never the same

if the DRs are saying they gotta go in and see it before they can determine recovery time i take what they're saying at face value.
