Boston got a bunch of wannabe ass niggas.

Kyrie has clearly shown he's more adept facilitating and scoring, but those pseudo-versatile ass niggas gon' make their presence felt or else.

Cleveland got waaay too much firepower. Don't know if they fucking with the Dubs, tho'.

I think this Cavs team gonna have a attitude with them, also the depth should help to keep pressure on

Celtics have no plan B. Just freelancing. Coach has to get a system going post Hayward. It's like open gym right now.

A fracture is a break

Yes but fractures can be tricky.

Fracture vs Break

Bones support, move, and protect various organs of the body. They also produce blood cells and store minerals in the body. There are 206 bones in the human body, and it is made up of different tissues. They have many functions such as:

Mechanical: Protection of internal organs, provide shape to support the body, and biomechanics.

Synthetic: Blood production through the process of hematopoiesis.

Metabolic: Stores fatty acids, minerals such as calcium and phosphorous, and insulin-like growth factors. Releases alkaline salt for acid-base balance and for detoxification of the body. Act as an endocrine organ by reducing phosphates on the kidneys, regulating blood sugar, and fat deposition.

Bones are essential to help the body function properly and although they are for protection of the body’s internal organs, they can also be damaged by excess pressure and many other causes.

When extreme pressure is applied to the bones, a fracture may result. It is very common, and everyone has suffered from a fracture at one point in their lives. It happens more often in adults than in children because adult bones are more brittle and break easily.

A fracture is a medical condition wherein there is a break in the continuity of the bone. It can be caused by stress, or an impact on the bones, or by medical conditions such as cancer and osteoporosis.

A break is defined as “to crack or suddenly separate into pieces”. It is the same as a fracture. In fact, both terms are used in describing bone injuries. They differ in the severity of damage. While a fracture is minor, a break can be worse.

A fracture also takes a shorter time to heal than a break and it is less painful. Broken bones need to be reset and enclosed in a cast. More force is applied to break a bone than to fracture it.

There are several types of bone fractures or breaks:

* Open – when the broken bone is exposed which has an increased chance of infection.
* Closed – when the bone is broken but the skin is not cut.
* Simple – wherein the bone is split in two pieces.
* Multi-fragmentary – wherein the bone is split into several pieces.
* Compression – is a closed fracture or a break with two or more bones forced against each other and usually happens in the spine.
* Avulsion – is common to athletes.
* Impacted – is common in fractures and breaks caused by car accidents and falls.
* Stress – happens due to an overuse injury.
* Rib – manifests painful and shallow breathing.
* Complete – wherein the bones separate completely.
* Incomplete – wherein the bones are still partially joined.
* Linear
* Transverse
* Oblique
* Spiral
* Comminuted
* Compacted

Summary:

1. A fracture is a medical condition wherein there is a break in the continuity of the bone while a break is the crack or separation of bones into pieces.
2. A fracture takes little time to heal while a break takes longer.
3. A fracture can be less painful than a break.

What Lebron's play looking like

Bron looks like he always does.....he's pretty consistent. I like this Cavs team. People underrated their offseason because of the reputation Derrick Rose got.......I think he's gonna be the 2nd or 3rd best player on this team on most nights. His speed is still A1.

Because its nothing but youth out there. Tatum and to a lesser extent Brown aren't ready yet. Its Kyrie and a bunch of guys out there. Celtics should still be good enough to be a top 5 team out East but tonight.....I don't see them making this a game.....

At least Tatum can shoot some. Brown's jumper isn't good.

He will be conditioning and running in about two months. So he could be back easily By February and def by March. It does not take long for bones to heal.

Haven't you said enough already tonight

You're trying to end that mans career?

Brown has gotta be able to hit that open 3 point shot. Teams are going to give him that. The boy got nice handles...he attacks the basket well......his game is missing that jumper. Once he gets that he's money....

Shit didn't they play like that last year

In a sense, but not the same circumstances. IT was healthy. And they still stole a game vs. CLE without him. At least they could rely on some defense.

But now, I don't know what they have. Stevens has to find what they have, and apply it, fast. Or the sharks are going to come. You can't just freestyle versus a good team. You need biscuits and gravy here, biscuits and gravy there. C's are in a vulnerable position now. I never thought they would contend this season, but now, it's worse.

:lol: :lol:

I don't know about that one playa......
Breaks don’t take long to heal. Even Paul George was up and shooting shots very quickly.

As long as you don’t have ligament or tendon damage he should be on the court conditioning in little over a month.

The ankle structure will be weak for a while but By February he should be 100%

Top five is going to be a stretch. Philly better. Bucks better. Piston probably better. Heat definitely better the way the finished the season.

82 games. Regular players need routines and consistency. They don't have that.

We'll see. But a top 5 finish is overachieving post Hayward. If they do it, more power to them but I don't see it. No hate.

I gotta see it to believe it with all those teams.....we sit here every year talking about boy wait until the Bucks develop......or wait until Philly get better.......everybody look good on paper....still gotta go out there and do it.

I don't know how the Celtics will do it....I guess I only see about 3 or 4 good teams out East.....Wiz, Cavs....maybe Raptors.....I don't see anyone head and shoulders above the Celtics. There's always surprise teams though every year.

Tatum is going to get a lot of burn and experience he wouldn't have gotten with Gordon playing. He's clearly the number 2 option now.

They had him playing the PF for Morris when he clearly a SF. Now he gets to play his natural position.


Truthfully he had way more upside than Gordon.
