It is being reported by Empire Sports Media that the Knicks are one of the teams interested in Pacers C Myles Turner.
This would make some sense as Turner is a rim protector and an offensive threat. The lack of Gibson/Noel being an offensive threat was definitely a detriment in the Hawks series. Of course, the cost could be prohibitive as Indiana is tough to deal with.
Apparently he is going to test it pregame and is pushing to play, so they had to at least upgrade him to doubtful so he has a chance..
Surprising. Let's see how long he lasts on the court. As noted above, hamstrings can be tricky...it doesn't take much to reaggravate it.

if he gets hurt again the Nets are going to get ripped
If i am the Bucks i am attscking Harden every time and whoever is guarding him be as physical as possible

Puts a lot more pressure on the Nets and sends out the signal they are desperate. They probably should have waited till they faced elimination.

It's going to be tough for them. They'll probably put him on PJ Tucker? Not a good offensive player but good enough that he can make something happen.
Let's go Bucks.

Definitely a precarious situation. But the thing is I can actually see Harden being one of those few players who can be effective without having to exert a ton of energy and put pressure on that hamstring. He relies a lot more on skill rather than speed and quickness. He's pretty much gonna have to just sit back and make the right passes/reads and take some step back 3's, probably shouldn't be making quick movements to drive to the basket and of course he's going to have to be careful running full speed to get back on D (that's originally how he aggravated it too). I think in half-court D he could be okay but again he's gonna literally have to be conscious of his movements at all time. Maybe if the Nets can come out the gate and hit shots it'll allow them to get back and set their D but if the pace of the game picks up at any point Harden could be in trouble.
Idiotic thinking. I get that you don't want to piss off your stars, but the medical people need to have the final word.

Steve Nash just said it is Harden's decision if he wants to play, seriously?

I have no dog in the fight, but what happens if Hardens hamstring tears or worse he hurts somrthing over comoensating, this really reminds me of Dursnt when he tore his achilles

Yup. And I bet KD-if on truth serum-wouldn't have played in hindsight.
He onlynplayed 35 games, he missed half the season
He makes all of his shots or none of them. There’s very little in between.

what an overpay

and he is a terrible defender, a lot different in post season when every shot is contested
then went completely iso heavy offensively
refs have started to call the game a lot tighter as well..not saying they are calling a bad game but definitely tighter

Then completely fall apart and allow layup after layup?

Yeah but it was a 10 minute layup drill. It's not like the Nets got a ton of ft's
