I still really dislike Lawson for beating the Marcus Thornton led LSU squad in the NCAA tourney some time back. E: Thornton looked like he would turn out to be a solid starting shooting guard early in his career.

I'm aware that the younger guys generally don't get playing time no matter how good they are in Europe, but this guy is 31. He talks about being able to run a team without scoring, but he averages 5 assists.

Games are 40 minutes, so they play less time overall. Look at the rate stats. That said, he's pretty old.

The comments in the media about it yesterday made it seem like he would be back after a game or two, hence the spirited discussion on here from all the various medical professionals who frequent these boards. I'm pretty surprised he's going to be out the whole series, but I have no insight into the difficulty of such an injury, it just sounded like yesterday the public statements made it seem like it wasn't going to be a season-ending caliber injury.

Athletes always undersell those things in the immediate aftermath because they really want to believe it's not a big deal. I dunno why anyone seriously expected him to only miss a game or two for a dislocated shoulder.

Things are Acute or Chronic anterior inferior means in front (anterior opposed to posterior) and below (superior opposed to inferior). That's where the rip happened which makes sense if you think about the way the arm pulled away glenohumeral -- the shoulder joint, where the arm bone (humerus) connects to the glenoid fossa (more or less 'ditch', kinda a hole, an indentation), of the shoulderblade some of the ligaments and cartilaginous lining got hosed up and there's some bruising around the top head of the armbone. Basically any tissue can bruise and it sucks and will hurt but at least it ain't broke. EvanTH fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Apr 27, 2015 |

Ya, plus the dislocation is a blinding white pain which recedes quickly-ish, then they give the interviews while they're super-positive jacked up on opiate painkillers, I'm Feeling Better Already! and then the bruising starts and there's a bunch of movement-impeding pain while the swelling goes down.

So is Olynyk's one-game suspension reflective of the fact that the NBA didn't think it was malicious/particularly egregious? Or did the two-gamer for J.R. Smith create a weird artificial cap where you couldn't punish Olynyk more harshly, even though Smith's suspension is a two playoff game suspension and Olynyk is the regular season?
