Williams played hurt

Furthermore idiot steroids don’t act fast like that , you can block pain with a numbing agent but steroids block inflammation and take a day to two to kick in ..try again
Pump the brakes on the name calling. Even my cynical ass draws the line there. We are all pulling on the same rope here. But your message is correct.

A “cortisone” shot, or any kind of steroid type injection takes at least 24-48 hrs to regain ROM. I don’t give an ish how much PT work you get. A beta blocker though, that will kick in immediately. But you have essentially no strength. Hard to imagine either of those being the case in an acute situation in practice yesterday (Popes words). Dude had an owie and played like ass. Do better Sunday. Next play!
 
Hot take alert. I think Mark Pope is kind of a drama queen about “injuries” and “gutting it out”. Not everything has to be super awesome or fantastic or whatever. As the great Lou Brown once said “Over 162 games and even tough guys get strains... Sore arms... Muscle pulls..” Hardly anyone is 💯 this time of the year. Amari played like trash. No excuses. Play better Sunday.
If his back was hurt then there is a good excuse

He was talking to me though. My name is Idiot. I probably should change it at some point to avoid confusion lol

I mistakenly quoted the wrong poster .. but this the poster name Is “ village idiot “ and I did say idiot as it’s part of the users name , but I shouldn’t be cute like that and leave the name calling for others . No problem .

He didn’t move like his back was “hurt”. And your back isn’t “hurt” Friday and okay Sunday (Popes words). He played like trash. May have been sore or fatigued or whatever. EVERYONE is this time of the year. Is what it is. He’s still the best option. BG’s ass ain’t getting those mins against a good team. Suck it up and let’s roll. That’s the only option.

We can’t sit here and say whether he is hurt or not because he played in a 2 hour game. If pope says he is hurt he is hurt. In believing my coach

Yeah, that’s kinda my point. There’s a big difference between and owie and being “hurt”. But you’re 💯 percent correct, we can’t say. I didn’t see a guy that moved like he was hurt. I saw a guy that played like crap and moved just fine.
 
Get a witch dr in here or something.

Did the injury prevent Williams from dunking the ball from two to feet away? Because on that last dunk he looked pretty good.
Back issues, depending on what the specific ailment is, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s constant. You’ve seen Carr dunk multiple times with back spasms. Yet you also see him grimace, tighten and struggle.
 
7:58 left in first half — when the full court pass to Williams is just out of reach, notice how he lays on the ground and grimaces. Not just that, if you pay attention, you will notice him writhing back some against the floor, kind of scooting back
 
Did you see when he was laying down on his back for a long time and took a while to get up?
Say the coach is in fact taking up for his player (I don’t think that’s the case). If the coach who knows the player knows it’s in the players interest for the fanbase to not be all over them, why would we as a fanbase say no I won’t trust the coach and go at the player anyway? None of it makes any sense to me. Give the player and the coach benefit of the doubt and move on I think. At least that makes sense to me
