Staff/trainer saw a hit to the head and some worrying symptoms and immediately pulled him out of the game while they figure out whether there was a concussion…. what exactly strikes you as “Tua-ish” in what happened?
Agree, that was a garbage post.
Then again, I completely forgot about haiku until about 5 minutes left in the game.
Watching replay he didn't hit his head too hard, but it was in a sensitive spot (directly back of the head), so we'll see.
He didn’t say that. He said to have a plan for him not being available. You just acknowledged that he’s probably going to miss games. Should they not have plan?
It definitely wasn't his head that made that noise. I had a buddy at the game who said the same thing that the sound was really loud but when they showed the replay back on TV his head barely hit the court. It definitely whipped hard but there is no way that sound was all his head. Other parts of his body hit as well which I think contributed to that really loud sound. If the hit of his head was 100% of that sound he'd have been in the protocol immediately or we should fire all trainers and doctors associated with the team.
It seems like Hawkins is a confidence player - if he sees the ball go through the net once or twice he’s going to go off, but I think he lets the misses bother him and it throws him off. Would be great if we could run a couple of offensive sets early to get him some 15 footers coming off screens or some foul shots or something, get him going every time.
When I said he needs to toughen up this is the aspect of his game I meant. He has to somehow not let this shake his confidence. Physically take all the time you need to get healthy, but mentally work through it. And I understand that its easy for me to say
My guess is they hadn’t gotten a chance for a doctor to test him right after the game. They immediately pulled him out for the rest of the game when it happened so they’re clearly taking precautions. That was just a totally unnecessary comment that also happened to be completely unsupported by reality.
And his eyes were as clear as a bell later in the second half.
The assumption is he wasn’t taken out of it, he just hasn’t formally entered it yet. I say assumption because we don’t know of course, so it’s best to wait before taking a position that assumes the staff doesn’t have Jordan’s best interests at heart.
Not only saw it but heard it too. It was sickening. I've never seen anyone hit their head on the floor that hard.
No, that is what he said.
Just stop digging man. You jumped to the conclusion that he had been removed from the protocol and totally ignored the possibility that they may not have had time to diagnose him one way or the other. The staff clearly made the right move to sit him for the rest of the night and have done nothing to earn your assertion that they’re not properly treating Hawkins’ injury.
He was 100% crying. You could even see it as he was walking off the court
