So its "strategy" to misdiagnose and mislead an injured player.. And you find that analogous with a bogus injury report given to the media on a healthy player?
Im sincerely beginning to think that you're at least mildly retarded.
NBA 2018-2019 playoffs thread...finals is set..”Warriors vs Raptors 2-4” Raptors win the title!!!
Im sincerely beginning to think that you're at least mildly retarded.
What's the strategy?
Let's stick to basketball. Football is a different monster. And we're not talking about listing an injury. We're talking about misleading on an injury (which will get you fined in the NFL because that breaks their injury report policy). The example you gave doesn't work.
Neither does his brain apparently.
Yo I don't know what the fuck he was thinking bringing up a NFL injury
All the shoe polish fumes fucking with his cognitive reasoning abilities.
I mean it's an upgrade on shining LBJs balls."I gets um nice and shiny for ya Massa Myers! Just how ya like um boss!"
Are you retarded? Seriously, I know you want to see the Warriors fail, but Iggy did not say he was misled.
Iggy said that KDs injury was an act of God and would have happened even if he hadn't hurt his calf
Iggy said he went back and forth with his team, teammates and media about him playing. Never said he aa misled
But it was HIS decision to play.
Those 40 years has you all fucked up in the head...
Im 20 minutes into this interview and what ever you have up your ass that makes you think he said KD was lied to hasn't happened yet.
What time should I forward to?
Again
Where the fuck did you see Iggy say he was lied to about his injury?
Preventing the team from game planning against your lineup would be my guess to the strategy
And I brought up Tom Brady to point out that teams make reports downplaying injuries. That's not new.
We can talk about the spurs if you like. Kawhi felt he couldn't play. Spurs felt he could. the news reports said questionable til Homie just stopped coming to work.
1:32:53 interview with Etan Thomas that Deshawn Stevenson shit was crazy
Brady was not injured.
Or did you miss that
He's always listed as questionable even when healthy
And what was your point? Everybody KNOWS he's gonna play....And your guess of preventing the team from planning against your lineup doesn't make any sense....like a team is gonna assume your best players are playing.....there is no way it's a competitive edge to just lie about injuries to the media....and even they ain't stupid Reggie Miller called that shit as it happened that KD had a achillies injury....looking around Like someone kicked him.....like in KD's case the shit wasn't even a good lie.
Possible Lavine trade?

Looks like Zach LaVine put his 8,000-square foot mansion in Lakeview up for sale

Nobody panic. We're not speculating anything. It's simply the offseason and we've got some space to fill.
But it appears Zach LaVine has placed his five-bedroom, five-bathroom 8,000-square foot Lakeview mansion on the market.
LaVine bought the house in September 2018, a few months after the Bulls signed him to a brand new four-year, $78 million contract. LaVine paid $3.25 million for the house at 1746 W. Surf Rd.
Per the original listing, which you can check out there, the house features the following:
Stunning home built by JDL Development on a double lot in the heart of Lakeview. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this remarkable home features breathtaking architecture and meticulous construction. Overlook your private back yard with XGrass padded turf and built-in grill area from the state of the art kitchen with mesmerizing features: Lacanche range, Traulsen independent refrigerator and freezer, stained glass windows, marble sink and counters, limestone floors, stone walls, custom cabinetry, and built-in breakfast nook. The picturesque indoor atrium, only one of its kind in Chicago, provides year-round California outdoor living. Luxurious master suite includes a massive walk-through closet to the elegant master bathroom with over-sized soaking tub and awe-inspiring steam shower. Three suited bedrooms and an expansive laundry room complete the top level. The lower level features a walk-in wine cellar and humidor, spacious mudroom, theater room, home gym, and guest suite.
Check out pictures of the house below, including the closets full of Adidas gear. For whatever it's worth, the house is listed at $3,399,000. LaVine is probably just due for an upgrade after a career year in which he averaged 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 63 games for the Bulls.

Did I say it was a good strategy? Don't care what you feel. About it... Doesn't change the fact this is what the patriots do.
Regardless of why u think, Belichick still has 6 rings... If though you don't agree with his strategies
Why are you going strawman?
I'm asking you why do you think they told the media a different story than they told him? No one is arguing that they lied to Iggy.
Gameplanning? He wasn't playing. This isn't football where you make major personnel/scheme adjustments for one player like Iggy. If Iggy is out or not, nothing much changes.
Do you think there could be another reason why the Warriors would feed a different story to the media? We could just extrapolate it from what Iggy himself said.
You might be getting closer.
Why would the Spurs feed the media a different story than what Kawhi was getting? Do you think there is an incentive for them to do it? Think hard on it.
"Thanks Steph!"

The Patriots actually do give their players all the time they need to recover from their injuries regardless of what they put out in the public.
Thats the whole difference you keep tap-dancing around while you swear you not making excuses for your man.
Fhaggot.
"Thanks Steph!"

SI covers are a jinx, mans bout to get hurt next season
Keep the goal posts moving.
The patriots and every NFL team do not give their guys time to heal. The cut them if they're injured. Pump them full of opioids, dust them off and send them out there with broken arms, fingers ect.
Pretend all you want
Kecon looney was ruled out of the series and demanded to play. Forced reevaluation and chosen to play because he couldn't hurt it anymore.
Boogie rushed back from his initial injury and played before anyone thought he could... Then came back from the Quad tear also due to his efforts.
They sat Klay when Klay said he could play (we will pretend that didn't happen)... I guess the forced him to shoot them free-throws after the ACL tear too.
KD felt he could save his squad and felt the team management and teammate alike needed him to play KD was out 9 games plus games.. Media and guys on this board were saying KD could play but was sitting to spite the team... (Let's ignore that too)
Bottom line, the Warriors don't have a history of the Risking thier players health.
Iggy did not say he was lied to he said the media was lied to.
Iggy did not say the team doctors or pressure caused KDs injury, he said it was an act of God and would have happened even if his calf did not get injured.
Dudes are gossiping like women and pretending to be doctors to spin a narritive.
Or you can actually listen to what he said.
He pulled no punches, ducked no questions. he made bold statements and stood on what he said with no apology.
Iggy serves as VP of NBAPA and would have a interest in both addressing and stopping players being treated that way.
Make what ever assumptions you need to... Doesn't change facts. If you have to spin Iggy.'s words to fit your beliefs then

Dude. You're tying yourself into a knot. It's amazing how many hoops you're jumping through on this.
Iggy literally said that the team giving a false report of his injury to the media caused him problems and it did the same thing for Durant. The player himself just told you and you're so stuck on believing in an invalidated position that you're holding on despite the facts not being on your favor. Do better.

White daddy cried on national TV because the Dubs ruined KD, now you in here working damage control like you on the payroll. Disgusting!
Yes people are arguing that Iggy was lied to and misled about his injury. What are you talking about?
They are arguing Iggy got pressure to play, when Iggy was clear in what he said.
Since WHEN is taking direct quotes from beginning to end, strawmaning?
If Iggy is bold enough to say the NBA has a race problem, M Jackson was blackballed, 'stay black', speak on biracial kids lol, gays, all with out pulling punches or ducking questions...
Why when asked did he say that he feel KDs injury was an 'act of god' and hlild have happened regardless?
Why didn't he just answer like every other question?
Bruh your breath smells like LeBron nuts. You and '40nuears a loser' need to understand I don't give a shit how you feel...
White daddy cried on national TV because the Dubs ruined KD, now you in here working damage control like you on the payroll. Disgusting!
You can't point to a single lie I've told, excuse I've made. You just want to believe the gossipy story.
That's not what people are arguing. Exclude everyone else for a minute. It's clouding things.
Let's keep it simple.
Iggy is telling you that the organization feeding a false injury report to the media caused a problem for him as it put pressure on him to come back early because (fans, teammates, family, etc) everyone was putting pressure on him to come back and the media creates a narrative of the greats athlete playing through injury. He literally uses his own example to explain to the audience why Durant came back during the finals.
I'm not sure what your struggle is. Are you such a fan of the organization that you won't accept the truth...even from a player? He wasn't vague at all about this.
Do you still think the organization continuously saying that Durant might be ready "next game" didn't play a role in his early comeback and subsequent injury?
He didn't say that. That's what you said. He'd said his teammates and media were looking at him like when you going to play... But the questions is, did he play or did he sit out the rest of the series? I seem to remember him sitting out the series.
He also said the carrot of a chip and the chasing the money and. Fame of. Overcoming an injury drives players to make those decisions to play or sit. I guess we have to ignore that too
Iggy words are being spun to fit the desired narritive instead of be taken for what he actually said.
Holy shit. Are you serious?
You're saying "He didn't say it was sunny.... he said that there were no clouds out and it was in the middle of the day and crepuscular rays were everywhere!".
Are you literally trying to argue the semantics of "They put the injury report out that wasn't my true injury so I had everyone asking me when I was coming back"... when the literally point of his story is "Had they told everyone I had a fucking fractured leg, I wouldn't have people asking me immediately if I was ready". Then he goes into the spin of playing through injury + being a hero is sold to athletes.
You can't be this obtuse. You sound like a Trump supporter who is running around one of his crazy ass comments.
I'm done. Its pointless talking with you about this.
Massah Myers cried wit no tears.

Please point out my lies
From jump I've said team pressure players to play. That's apperently news to you all.
From jump I've said the team held NO power over KD and KD would make his decisions to play or Not. And KD held the power in the situation due to him being a UFA.
Iggy said that KDs injury was an act of God and would have happened anyway
Iggy did say he felt pressure to play from multiple sources, both internal and external . But he had to. Make the decisions about his body and career.
I've said the Warriors have never had a history of mistreating their players.
What I haven't done is make excuses or add my own spin to any of this...
