Jabari Parker Knee Injury

Nothing more than an opinion here but it happened not too far away from where I was sitting.  I think the season is over for Jabari.  Just hope it is something he can be ready for next season. 

The last few weeks have been a nightmare for the Bucks after so many positive things were going on. 

He's rarely wrong.

I hope my eyes deceive me.

Expected, but still really, really sucks. Closest comparison is probably Danny Manning.

Now it will be at least next spring before he plays again and at least 18 months before he's back to anywhere near where he was at right now. The Bucks will have to make a decision on whether to extend him near the max without knowing what his long-term prognosis really is.

Gah, that's horrible. **** 

Cursed...

won't be back from this......has any athlete come back from two of these??  It was a torn ACL preciously AND the same knee right???  He won't be back.  

Tauscher came back (quicker) after his 2nd ACL.

A little different level of athleticism and need for verticality. 

Go ****ing figure

What an epic kick to the nuts.  The day the ****ing day Middleton comes back and our young stud blows out his ACL for a second time in three years 

God hates the Bucks 

This team was poised to do some great things and now it's all ****ed up once again 

The curse of Kareem ****ing ****

tank the season 

When I was young and we would break stuff, my mom would say "we just aren't meant to have nice things".  Thought it was dumb, but sadly it applies to us Buck fans.

I don't know- Parker has been playing poorly for a while. It'll be really interesting to see how the defense looks after this. Once Middleton gets into form, we'll see what they look like. The Bucks are a poor defensive team, and Parker looked lost at times- a lot of times.

Now he isn't getting better on the sideline, but I want to see how this team changes and evolves without Parker. They may be just as bad, but then again... if they aren't, some decisions make get have to be made.

Just answered the question.

just un-freeking-believable

There are guys. Danny Manning, Grant Hill... though careers have definitely been shortened.

We had Kareem - probably the most underrated basketball player ever for 6 years. We traded him for 4-5 good players which set us up to be good for a few years, but not the same as having Kareem. We basically were forced to do it.

We had a young Ray Allen - and traded him for 3 months of Gary Payton. That set the franchise back about 5 years.

On paper at least, we traded Dirk Nowitzke for Robert Traylor.

Jabari's ACLs.

Bogut breaking his arm when we were on our way to a 50 win season.

We had another future HOFer, Alex English, to start his career and we essentially traded him for a first round pick.

We drafted Julius Erving, but he went to the ABA.

You're right about not being meant to have nice things (at least not for too long).

Good point. Maybe Jabari is better in a 6th man type role to provide instant offense?

MichiganPacker,

Yeah, those are 3 good recent examples.  Jabari's second ACL.  Bogut's devastating injury (unreal - that team was looking good).  And the infamous Ray Allen for Gary Payton trade.  I don't know how the big three (Robinson, Cassell, Allen) fared so poorly the year following the team that was a hair from the finals, but blowing it up by trading Allen for an ancient Payton was mind-bogglingly insane.

It was well known Allen and Karl didn't see eye to eye so RA was dealt 

Bucks version of Paul Molitor and unforgivable 

Trading Fred Roberts before he played a game in Milwaukee then not resigning Fred Roberts after the '93 season.  

I can't believe I am the only one who sees the Fred Roberts connection to the Bucks woes.
