SCOOT FUCKING HENDERSON!!

 

[PCmor7]

Gutty performance. And not the first time this group has shown its heart.

 

[LayneStaley]

Will Tight Wad be at the game Friday? Maybe he should be and see what the atmosphere is like.

 

[blazerfan11]

Anyone want to say Scoot is a bust?

They already did. Many times.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I know a few well-known fans that turned it off and missed, including a poaster here, but I won’t name names.

They should out themselves then!

 

[julius]

So I didn't get a chance to watch most of the game (or listen to it), was Shaedon hurt?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Also we won with Deni playing one of his worst games of the year and let's be honest outside of Scoot and Rob Will and some clutch moments this team in general was below average for long stretches of the game.

 

[Chris Craig]

So I didn't get a chance to watch most of the game (or listen to it), was Shaedon hurt?

Not that I saw. Clingan was

 

[Stevenson]

Scoot Fever!

 

[blazerkor]

So I didn't get a chance to watch most of the game (or listen to it), was Shaedon hurt?

It didn't seem like it. I was a little pissed he didn't get more PT but whatever buttons Tiago pushed worked out. Big Win!!!

It is going to be insane at the Moda Center!

The commons outside will look like this Pre-game....

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wasn’t me! I left work early so I could watch the last ten. Thought they were going to disappoint, but they didn’t.

 

[riverman]

dance party

 

[Natebishop3]

Huge win! We need Grant and Jrue to shoot even halfway decent in game 3.

 

[julius]

I hope Dundon comes out to this music

 

[blazerfan11]

Chances are we would have lost with Wemby out there but this game was huge for Scoot who showed why he was the 3rd pick in the draft and coming home who knows maybe a little home court magic can happen no matter if Wemby plays or not.

Nobody should be surpised about Wemby. He's tripped on himself in the past and fallen down.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

playoff wins are where it’s at! Love it!!!

The NBA's standard concussion protocol, sometimes called the NBA Concussion Program, mandates that players with suspected concussions are immediately removed for evaluation. They must have a minimum 48-hour shutdown period and can only return after being symptom-free during progressive physical exertion, requiring final clearance from the team physician in consultation with the NBA Concussion Program Director.

Key Components of NBA Concussion Protocol
Immediate Removal:

If a concussion is suspected or diagnosed, the player is removed from participation, and they cannot return to play or practice on that same day.

48-Hour Minimum Period:

A diagnosed player is prohibited from participating for a minimum of 48 hours.

Return-to-Participation Steps:

The player must advance through a series of steps (e.g., stationary biking, jogging, individual drills, non-contact, then full-contact) while remaining symptom-free.

Final Clearance:

The team physician must consult with the league's concussion expert, Dr. Jeff Kutcher, to confirm the player is fit to return.

Average Recovery:

While timelines vary, players often miss 3-4 games, with an average recovery time of 7-10 days.

Symptoms Evaluated

The protocol includes monitoring for, but is not limited to:

Headache or pressure
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or vertigo
Nausea or vomiting
Sensitivity to light or noise
Cognitive issues (e.g., feeling "in a fog," difficulty concentrating)

Comparison to Other Protocols

Unlike the 7-day, 6-step protocols commonly used in the NFL or NHL, the NBA does not have a set number of days to complete the protocol, focusing instead on passing the required exertion steps.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Jrue with a the half court three (after the final buzzer)!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Big props to Scoot, I honestly didnt think he had this type of fire in him, especially in the playoff pressure.

timelord was epic too.

This is why I wanted us to get into the playoffs: to see what they are made of. Scoot proved a lot tonight.

 

[Irish Trader]

playoff wins are where it’s at! Love it!!!

Nice to have a team that is relevant again

 

[inconceivable]

Jrue with a the half court three (after the final buzzer)!

ball went in?

 

[LayneStaley]

Does he have a social media platform. I would think Tight Wad would at least say good game guys.

 

[blazerfan11]

Huge win! We need Grant and Jrue to shoot even halfway decent in game 3.

Grant needs to pull his head out of his arse. He's not "the Man" in Detroit anymore. Just take an open shot without falling down for once. Holy Crap he is frustrating.

 

[LayneStaley]

Isnt concussion protocol 7-10 days. I doubt Wemby plays Friday.

 

[LayneStaley]

Grant needs to pull his head out of his arse. He's not "the Man" in Detroit anymore. Just take an open shot without falling down for once. Holy Crap he is frustrating.

Yeah if he’s not stroking the corner 3 he’s useless.

 

[Everything Beagle]

ball went in?

Yep, nothing but net too

 

[HailBlazers]

Yeah if he’s not stroking the corner 3 he’s useless.

Nah he fought hard on D.

 

[Everything Beagle]

It’s now a real series

 

[PCmor7]

So I didn't get a chance to watch most of the game (or listen to it), was Shaedon hurt?

I don't think so. I think his not playing might have had more to do with struggling a bit defensively. He wasn't terrible. He was staying attached, but he was getting caught behind a bit and got beat for a couple of tough buckets as a result. Other guys were getting it done, so they stayed with those guys.
