For those not scoring at home, the Sixers managed ONE point in final 5:57 of 4th quarter of Game 6 against Celtics. The game revealed how much better the C’s are with Robert Williams and Al Horford playing together. Warriors and Lakers aren’t the only series featuring adjustments. Hard not to like Boston in Game 7. It was funny seeing the national media give Boston no chance in Game 6.
Man Devin Booker sure did regress to the mean as seemed likely. Just 4-13 and 12 in Game 6 in close out home loss for Suns. This makes me think Klay Thompson is due for a breakout shooting game for opposite reason I expected Booker to falter.
As for Wiggins, if he wasn’t playing Game 6 he would be listed as out. My assumption is he will take a pain killing injection and play. Then the question is how effective will he be?
As for Davis and concussions, I’ve had two diagnosed concussions in my life and neither one did I lose my balance or need a wheelchair to move. I feel pretty confident saying he will not play well in Game 6 if he has a concussion. The noise, light and chaos of an NBA playoff game, with the general brain fog will make it difficult for him. He’s also a guy who falls to the floor a lot. If Davis was concussed it won’t take a hit to head for him to be visibly impaired again and he’d be more at risk to miss a Game 7 if impairment is observed. Seems like too big a risk to play him in Game 6 to me.
What would the NBA and Lakers do if the medical community reacts in opposition to Davis playing Game 6? Docs and coaches could be worried about young hoopers disregarding concussions as a result of how Davis situation is being handled, yes?
