Around the League: Week 14 1/14-1/20

[Shabazz]

Victor Oladipo went down with what looks like a season-ending (and potentially longer) injury .

[Indy]

I couldn't find any good video/images of the injury, but didn't it seem like his acl just ruptured?

[Split T]

Athletic Trainer covered it up with a towel and called for the doc right away..likely means there was some sort of obvious injury...ruptured patellar tendon, dislocated knee cap, etc.

[Indy]

I think the knee cap was dislocated because the ACL tore in half. You could see he leg just wouldn't extend anymore.

[Indy]

[Mori Chu]

That sucks for Indy. They were having a great season. I was looking forward to seeing if they could upset somebody in the East playoffs and go to the ECF. Not so likely now.

[Split T]

Harden averaging more points per game than anyone other than Wilt and Jordan after his 61 last night. Adjusted for minutes played, he’s averaging more per36 minutes than anyone other than Wilt’s 50 ppg season...and its very close.

[Split T]

Oladipo ruptured his quadriceps tendon

[Superbone]

[The Bobster]

Harden averaging more points per game than anyone other than Wilt and Jordan after his 61 last night. Adjusted for minutes played, he’s averaging more per36 minutes than anyone other than Wilt’s 50 ppg season...and its very close.

Wilt played every minute that season except for 8 in a game he was ejected from for fighting.

He averaged 48.4 minutes a game that year (1961-62)

I didn't know those minutes came from an ejection. Thanks for the nugget.

[Indy]

That injury is just brutal. poor guy.

[INFORMER]

Derrick Jones Jr. has really been playing well lately for Miami.

[INFORMER]

18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals for Theo Pinson last night.

[TOO]

Derrick Jones Jr. has really been playing well lately for Miami.

They have a great coach, we do not. Jones was fun to watch at times here, but mostly useless.

[INFORMER]

Spoelstra is a really good coach, but Jones has been getting better throughout the years. He is putting the time in; I don't think it is anything Spoelstra is doing. Just like Koskoskov has nothing to do with Warren being a substantially improved shooter this year.

[Mori Chu]

I wish we had kept Jones Jr. I really liked him.

[In2ition]

I wish we had kept Jones Jr. I really liked him.

Same here

[Split T]

Thought we should have kept him as well. We dumped him to sign mike James, right? Dumb

[Mori Chu]

I also quite liked Big Sauce and am sad that he isn't here. I think you gotta keep some hustle guys like that on a young bad team like this who won't stop giving it 110% every night.
