I'm normally the same way, but a 67 page thread filled with wishful speculation, Holiday Inn Express-level medical opinion, and outright fan fiction -- one of the biggest embarrassments I've ever seen at DBR -- deserved this playful jab at a minimum.
I genuinely hope Nolan is OK and isn't hurt longer than this weekend, but Kong's humor is good-natured, all about the fans and not the player, and more than warranted.
Well, that post-game news is not good. We may very well be without Nolan for the rest of the weekend. Dang!
Agreed. It wasn't in good taste, given that it's related to (potentially) a significant toe injury to yet another star guard.
Hopefully, Smith's toe doesn't prevent him from missing time. I'm not optimistic about tomorrow if reports are true that he was having trouble leaving the court post-game.
Wow, if Nolan cant go, Duke would be playing without the ACC/NCAA player of the year and the #1 pick in next years nba draft. man, am I the only 1 that still thinks Duke can win it all? Im always op"toe"mistic!
if kong can get 2 pitch forks I should be able to get at least 1!!!
We need a toe by 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon... with or without nail polish.
If we are without both Irving and Smith, I think it would take a miracle for us to win the NCAA championship. I'm not saying there'd be a zero percent chance, but it'd be getting to that neighborhood.
Let's just say I'm really hoping the injury to Smith isn't so serious that he misses significant time.
Remember when Kentucky had Team Turmoil? We have Team Toe-moil.
*grabs popcorn*
I have asked myself that question 1000 times. Not only toes, but feet in general... we go back to Grant, Bobby, Elton, Carlos, Zoubs, and many other Duke players who have had serious foot/toe injuries. And these are just basketball players. If we go over to the football side, there have been many more.
[I'm working on how to put this tactfully...]
Several of the student athletes have suggested to me that the shoes that our athletic teams wear do not offer tremendous support. Obviously, that is a very touchy subject. Any thoughts?
