That’s not a team you want to face at full strength, let alone without your top guy.
Condolences, Boston.

let alone without your top guy
Yeah Payton Pritchard sprained his knee :(

Yeah, this ain’t the same old Cavs. Sexton is gonna drop them off

Between the Cavs and the Browns I'm happy that Cleveland has nice things for once.

Colts/Pacers is a nice combo right now too.

Yo imagine me, from KC, but grew up in Indy... Chiefs/Pacers is such a fun combo and I feel like I earned it after all the shit years.

We feel your pain.

It's a credit to his durability that this is noteworthy.
- 2017-18: missed 2 games
- 2018-19: missed 3 games
- 2019-20: missed 6 games
- 2020-21: about to miss his 5th game
And that's counting the last game of the season, which is really just a token DNP.
This will only be his 13th genuine DNP in his career so far, and it comes from a mandatory waiting period (apparently he's asymptomatic).

I don’t even chalk up illnesses under durability. Particularly this one - which is literally a once in a lifetime type of event.

It’s a B2B and he hasn’t played in a few weeks, it’s likely the team trying to ease him in.

Yeah, it sounds precautionary from what's been reported.

For sure. It is funny that when the nets did with this kyrie it was a whole thing about how he should've been ready day 1

Yeah Seth Curry missed 18 straight days because they eased him back. This seems to be the standard

Durability this early in someone’s career doesn’t really mean anything

Nah even early on it's noteworthy. No one can predict major injuries, but you can see trends develop early in terms of minor injuries.
Tatum misses fewer games in 2-3 typical seasons than most of our other draft picks would (eg. Smart, Brown, Olynyk). Rozier has been pretty durable as well.
Certain guys just seem to dodge all the ticky-tack fouls that NBA players pickup throughout the season.

yeah it makes a huge difference for development in young players too. no setbacks on how hard you can work.

What? Of course it means something. Just look at someone's like Romeo Langfords durability and compare that to Tatum. Young players that miss time lose out on a lot of development.

Fucking sucks. The team has rarely had full squads since 2017.

everyone ducking the cavs now
To think...a few short months ago you could’ve replaced that d with an f.
Sexton and his squad of centers ain't no Joke 🤔
