Klay now pushed back to mid Jan to maybe Jan 30 per Woj.

The ghost of Klay Thompson just doesn’t scare me into believing the Warriors are going to be done unbeatable force of nature.

Yeah. I get why Warriors fans might be excited but I'm surprised how many fans just assume he'll waltz back on to the court after being out more than two and a half years. Maybe it happens but I'll have to see it to believe it.

I think he will make an immediate impact, but I'm not sold the impact is going to be huge. Especially considering they haven't exactly been lacking in the areas that he excels.

If Klay is 80% his old self the Warriors are significantly better. Their wing depth isn’t strong.

Anthony Davis got his knee rolled up on. He was able to walk back to the tunnel on his own but it certainly bent in a way it shouldn't.

They're getting blown out by the Wolves. The Lakers do not rotate on defense, at all. One good screen and a player will get several seconds to size up his shot.

It’s great to see you the Lakers getting blown out

Warriors beat Celtics but the Jazz lose to Spurs.

Actually, I take that back, his knee buckled while they were getting him back to the locker room. He might be hurt pretty bad.

I found this video of Anthony Davis going down in tunnel.

Falling down and rolling around is par for the course for him. Probably nothing serious.

 

[Mainstreet]

Things are not happy in Laker land. It looked like an intentional foul by Lebron.

In the tunnel?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Things are not happy in Laker land. IMO, this should be a suspension.

It looks bad at first but I'm not sure it was intentional. If that face wasn't in the way, it would have been a perfect pass to AD. I'm not saying it wasn't a cheap shot, I just can't tell for sure.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is the latest on Anthony Davis. They will take another image.

It looked intentional unless Lebron's passing has really gotten bad.

I'd like to talk to Isaiah Stewart about it.

I guess Anthony Davis will get an MRI on Saturday.

Lakers' Davis to undergo MRI after injuring knee

Anthony Davis will undergo an MRI on Saturday on his left knee. "So far, all is in good structure, but want to take another image," a source told ESPN.

He’s soft, dramatic and has a low pain threshold.

Agreed

 

[Phrazbit]

It says a lot about the Lakers chemistry that Beverly... PATRICK FREAKING BEVERLY was the only person who seemed concerned that Davis had a legit injury. Beverly was probably thinking "I didn't even dive into that knee!?".

That should be an ejection and a suspension but it won’t because it’s LeBron James and he can hurt anybody he wants

So the guy that is regarded as one of the best pastors in the league just happens to throw full force off somebody else’s face?

By the way this isn’t the first time LeBron has done that when he is losing

I mean I have seen good passers throw it right by people faces quite a bit and it only takes being slightly off to hit them with it. He is also throwing from an angle that he doesn't exactly throw a lot of passes from. It could very easily be unintentional, maybe it wasn't, but it could be.

These were my initial reactions as well.

Maybe if the Timberwolves hadn't run a fast break off of the incident, it would have received more attention.

I think it should be reviewed by the league office.

Oh I'm sure it will be reviewed. My guess, they come to the same conclusion that I did. It looks suspicious given Lebron's skills and the way the game is going but they'll conclude there's enough doubt about his intent to let the referee decision stand.
