yeah I just watched rewatched the clip. I could see someone thinking that but it looks a lot more like they were celebrating the SGA turnover. it got quelled pretty quick when people saw he was getting back up. almost exactly just like the KD achilles tear. there’s a lot of energy in the building but i don’t think that makes them awful people
I don’t think I am at all. I think a lot of people are being hyperbolic to confound their support for Indy/distaste for OKC. I didn’t say he was invisible. But anyone who’s ever been to any NBA game, especially a finals game, knows how unbelievably loud and energetic the home crowd is. The stadium is not going to fall silent and reverent when a player goes down, especially if the ball is in play. it’s just totally unrealistic to suggest
I’m well aware of what you’re referring to, #3 expressed that earlier and I responded to it already; because I re-emphasize the momentum being carried as the the ball remains in play doesn’t mean im unaware the play ended, and nothing I said needed change in acknowledgment of that. the stadium is never going to go quiet for a confusing player injury when they are actively rooting for the home team. that doesn’t mean they “celebrated” the injury, as #3 put it. They’re rooting for OKC
you guys are welcome to call me dense to your hearts content, but I strongly recommend go see a playoff game live, or any game. I’ve seen multiple player injuries live. Ball in-play, timeout, a minute before/after minute after, it doesn’t matter. The crowd is not going to stop making noise (unless they see blood on the floor, in my experience) at all, and it doesn’t mean they’re celebrating the injury. It’s just basketball
it was a non-contact injury. if you get slammed on the back of your head coming down from a poster, everyone in the stadium knows what happened to you. Haliburton looked like a he slipped trying to explode off a step back when his Achilles tendon ruptured. All you have is ad-hominem because you don’t watch basketball regularly, and you’ve never been around enough basketball in person or even on your TV to actually know what you’re looking at. You cling to hyperbolic nonsense because its easy
lol okay. more insults and downvotes because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Calling fans assholes because they didn’t fall silent and start crying while rooting for their team. You’re right, Joe and Randy in Row 22B should have stop cheering the SGA bucket, turned and screamed at everyone in their section to immediately shut up, because Hali is banging on the hardwood at other end of the court. You should have watch the game instead of being a reactionary you might learn something
