Boston NBA season over 5 minutes in

I'm on the floor, drunk, crying. I thought this was going to be a great year and now I have nothing to keep me warm this winter.

Goddamned Cavs.

That was hard to watch....could hear the snap on live tv. Still feeling queasy, players reactions said it all, terrible terrible.

Absolutely horrific watching it live. It happened right in front of the Cavs bench. Every single player on the bench immediately turned around or got up and walked away. The entire arena was in shock. Great care, concern, and support shown by both teams.

Still in shock. Can't get the image out of my head.

Well...they’re ahead of the Cavs right now.

No, you couldn’t.

They may win the game, but their season is over. If you know bball, you know it's the truth. I suppose it's all moot considering the roster in Oakland.

I'm confused. They lost 1 player to injury and just cancelled the rest of their season. That seems like a bit of an over-reaction.

I saw the video. Damn. I mean, damn. I hate Boston sports with the passion of a thousand burning suns but seriously hope he'll be ok and that he can come back and play next season.

These idiots are kneeling at the altar of Sir Charles. Heyward will be back for the playoffs which the Celtics will certainly qualify for.

In times of a national tragedy like this, all I think is "Damn, that could have been me".

It's called "heat". You turn it on or create it when it gets cold. It will keep you warm!

Bill Simmons on suicide watch. Someone check in on him please.

I saw George snap his ankle in half a few years ago. At least Hayward lasted longer than Bogut lasted for the Cavs last year.

True that.

Why do you think he couldn't? I can hear players cough and talk. Why can't he have heard something as distinct as a bone snap?

I'm not watching the video, but this basically happened to me. He'll be just fine faster than you think if my experience is common. I broke both lower leg bones right in the middle of my shin in compound fashion and had my shin folded about 90 degrees with the foot rotated the wrong way, which is what I'm gathering happened to Heyward.

My leg healed completely in about 9 months. I was a teenager and didn't have hardware put in, so maybe that matters. Bottom line is that I never had another problem with the leg. The injury is as painful as it looks, but I've met many people who've had common joint surgeries who are worse in the long term.

I watched it and didn’t hear any snap.
