OT: Gordon Hayward

Huskyforlife is just a loser. He would be crying like a little girl if this injury happened to him. Just a troll.

Damn bro, right in the feels. You're probably right, that ish looked painful. What does any of this have to do with Bayless being "scum?"

Worst sports injury I ever saw was Clint Malarchuk. That was horrific. As far as broken limbs, this one is as bad as it gets. Right up there with Joe Theismann, Paul George and Kevin Ware.

Here are a couple other ones. Willis McGahee, Jason Kendal and I remember a Tampa Bay Rays pitcher snap his arm on the mound. Barf.

Well, that’s one way to begin your Celtics career...sorry, gallows humor.

TV says “ankle fracture”; I thought distal tibia fracture when I saw it, which would be more soft tissue damage than an ankle fracture. Prognosis will really depend on the X-rays and how much surgery is required. Figure the minimum for return is 4 months, possibly season ending.

Unbelievably unlucky and freak accident for such a great basketball player/person. I'm as big a Celtic fan as anyone, follow them as closely as I do our Huskies, and to see that unfold 5 minutes into his Celtic career was heartbreaking. To start his 4 year contract/journey with the Celts this way, the highest paid player on the team, makes me sick to my stomach.

It really was exciting to predict what this team was set to accomplish this year, but with this injury it completely changes the game and makeup of what this team can get done. There's one good thing to come from this, the young guys are going to get priceless experience and grow up far faster than what was expected (sounds familiar). I immediately picked up Jaylen Brown in both of my fantasy leagues, kid's going to have an unbelievable season now that this has unfolded.

If I we're Gordon I'd place a phone call straight to Paul George and get some advice from someone who has gone through something as horrific as this smack dab in the middle of their prime. First game of the season....un-duck* believable. You can't write this stuff....classy by Lebron to go give him some love after he got carted off. I'm going to go drink some more beer to drown my sorrows. So unfortunate...
 
Brad stevens says its a dislocated ankle and broken tibia (?).

Loved the way brown, tatum, and smart stepped up. This will be an enjoyable season to watch the youngins grow

Surprised nobody mentioned Edgar Sosa. Playing for the Dominican National Team, his shin was literally poking through his shin pad. Disgusting, but watching this happen to Hayward absolutely sucked. He was so excited for this season. Got to feel for him regardless who you are.

That Kendall one still haunts me when I think about it. Just dangling there...
 
Terrible injury. Hope he's able to return this season (not a celtic fan).

Is the tweet everyone is losing their mind over, is Bayless saying the east is going to be that much clearer for Lebron?

How is that a scumbag thing to say?

He broke his ankle/leg, it's a freak sports injury that directly effects the conference. Is it not?

It came off as fairly insensitive in the moment, especially when compared to the rest of Basketball Twitter's reaction.

My guess is also that it's easy for people (guilty here) to read these kind of tweets with the same tone Bayless uses when he's at his most cringe-worthy on air.

What about that tweet makes him "scum?"

Expectations for displays of empathy, as in "the decent thing to do", lead to statements empathic with the injured individual. In this horrific injury instance, that's Hayward. Most of us, being decent in our hearts, are taken aback when someone instead responds with a comment dissing someone's chances at winning an NBA crown. When taken aback by an astounding show of "lack of empathy", it is common to call the person showing what most of us will indeed judge as "not the decent thing to do or say" bad names. Such as scum, for instance. The fact that this actually has to be spelled out is also a tad astounding.
 
I dislocated my knee in a baseball game in high school. I’m glad I haven’t seen the video of tonight.

HFL - the reason why the tweet was total scumbag is because he used the injury to take a shot at LBJ. It’s not like anyone didn’t realize it helped Cleveland’s chances to win the conference.

Now if everyone would just ignore the guy he would go away but for some reason people can’t.

Well you are a Doctor.

So he's "scum" because his priority as a prominent sports tv show host is to make sure everyone knows how he thinks this effects the eastern conference? How is his tweet hurting Hayward, or anyone, in any way?

Was there a single NBA fan on earth that wasn't sure if this would make it easier for the Cavs to make the Finals? Like one? Could one person maybe have thought, gosh, this will make it really hard for LeBron to make it back to the Finals.

I think, frankly, he knew just how freaking stupid his tweet was, and he sent it out in order to get people talking about how dumb it was (and how he always digs at LeBron), because in his mind no news is bad news.
 
Bayless gets paid to be a bag.

He is insensitive because that is what the network wants from him

My prayers are with Gordon Hayward for a full and complete recovery.

The obstinate guy in this thread pretending to not understand why the big 's tweet was pathetic and inappropriate reminds me of when some clown says something insulting, and then, when called out on it, responds with, "well it's true, isn't it?" as if the truth of the comment is the only factor considered when determining its appropriateness.

Makes me miss the days when the proper method of teaching a grown man manners was to smash him in his smug face.

Stevens said tibia during presseers. Spot on as usual, doc!
 
25 years ago, that would have been a career ending injury. He might have come back to play, but he never would have been close to the same. Today, he has a decent shot of a full recovery.
