What's with all the calf injuries?



They had a discussion on Gil'sArena and Kenyon seems to think they're not lifting enough weights, doing more functional stuff with the bands and not strengthening their muscles enough. He also mentioned that players were going out drinking, smoking dope, staying out late and weren't getting these kinds of injuries. Now players are going to bed early, not going out as much, not drinking or smoking ;).
 
The beautiful game was the fix to this. More about passing, only a couple dribbles per person TOPS, misdirection, stuff like that. But the league embraced hero ball driving, or kick out/drive/kick out, 3 point shot, and upping the pace. Timmy was able to survive on dust for knees for years because of enhanced ball movement. He'd have to retire before year 10 if he played today.
 
once gilbert arenas said "jalen green is a STAR and if the knicks called the rockets offering brunson for jalen green then the rockets would hang up and say no"... you knew there was never a reason to tune into his show
 
Arenas and Martin got the worst takes around. Just all around misinformed idiots.
 
Game is way more explosive and demanding to the legs than in the past.
And from a much earlier age. Talented young athletes are sought out much earlier, down to elementary grades, and trained in a much more demanding way than even a couple of decades ago, much less forty or fifty years. The possibility of generational wealth, fame, and fortune is too compelling to pass up.
 
Windhorst was saying that common speculation from around the league was pace of play, around the 8:30 mark

The game is faster now, much faster. Everything is about the three pointer, and teams have gotten better at defending it, causing players to have to work even harder for an open look.
 
Saw one Spurs beat writer say he wouldn’t be surprised if Wemby is out 4 weeks. These guys usually parrot whatever the FO tells them… which has me concerned.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

4 weeks is canonical for a strain.

Quote from Maestro Mitch in Feb. 18 article on Steph's injury and Victor's recovery puts an interesting spin on how they're working with a novel situation and unicorn player:

“I definitely think it is at the forefront of a conversation we’ve had since the moment we selected him,” Johnson said. “What’s hard is a lot of times in medical, or even performance (and) sports science, you use past information to make prognostications or predictions about the future. There’s not a lot of sample size and reference points that are similar to Victor, so it’s kind of just an ongoing living, breathing conversation every single day.”

^same guy who took issue with the spurs overreacting to wemby's ankle sprain his rookie year
 
Mikal Bridges was drafted in 2018, has played in 57 playoff games, and has never missed a game in his career
 
^ Streak is over for me. I don't care if the phony books list it.

Agreed. With our inconsistent three point shooting, it's amazing to me we don't fire up that old playbook and wreck shop. Our guys are made for TBG.
 
What strikes me is, early in the season we were missing our #1 backcourt guy + our frontcourt depth... right now we're missing our #1 frontcourt guy + our backcourt depth... :mad:
 
He played just 6 seconds in one game last season. Started to keep the streak going and fouled to get subbed. Ankle injury, iirc.
Bitch move by Mikal and the team tbh, what’s the point of the record then
