Lillard apparently has separated ribs, fwiw. But he's been pretty damn brutal.
The Will Cain show the other day was talking about a way to eliminate tanking, either by front offices (Knicks) or player/GMs (LeBron).
The teams that don't make the playoffs have a post season mini-tournment. Single elimination. Draft order in order of finish in the tournament. (Have better records be tie breakers in each group of losers, I would guess). Thought it was interesting. Would have to have $$ for players in each round.
I like the idea of just having a full league lottery. Equal chance for all. No incentive to lose.
what the heck is a separated rib.
what the heck is a separated rib.
Separated rib is when the rib comes off the sternum.
It’s not ripping the rib off the abominal wall in the stomach area.
It’s not worse than broken ribs which when they break can puncture the lungs and cause bigger injuries.
He just can’t fall on the injury and he can play with it.
My dad is a doctor I asked texted him and basically he told me what I posted.First off, I'm not trying to be a jerk with this reply, so no offense Alsacs
Without knowing specifics of Lillard's injury, I suspect it was a costochondral separation, meaning where the rib separates from its attachment to the costal cartilage rather than the actual sternum. It's a subtle distinction, but I just wanted to clarify a little further. I've seen this happen with falls and more often with severe coughing. It hurts, a lot, but as you said, it's not worse than a broken rib.

My dad is a doctor I asked texted him and basically he told me what I posted.
He said broken ribs are more of health problem because they can pierce other organs in the body.
Whereas separated ribs he said off the abdominal wall of ribs.
With this said I am 100% convinced you know more about this than I do so thanks for the clarification.
so, you guys going to give Lillard the crap you gave Harden? At least the Rocket's made it a series and were in every game to the end.
I think the Warriors were so elated after they won game 6 vs Houston was because they figured that was the championship
How is Vanvleet in the show?
The Raptors real Gm board is beyond themselves with all the play with FVV.
The other options are Lin and Meeks, and Lin has been terrible.
If I look down the bench and my options are:
Van Vleet
Drake in street clothes
Danny Green
I choose Drake every time. No question.
And I hate Drake.
Green and FVV are like a combined 0-15.
