I guarantee D-Rose will get back to MVP form again..... when he is playing in "The Tournament" and the BIG3

[Cnasty]

This Cs team would have been a candidate for my Fun Watch list...until Heyward went down

[DRiccio21]

Lue has Wade, Love and Lebron on his roster and somehow he's running out Rose, JR, Korver, TT and Jeff Green

Lue is horrendous

[doc]

Super excited about the Wolves this season. Butler might be the kick in the pants they need. With 'bazz, Deng and Crawford coming off the bench, it all makes me a little giggly.

[DRiccio21]

this game has been so bad. both teams look gross.

hoping the second game is a little better.

[DRiccio21]

Brown is playing incredible... that's nice to see.

I had to rewind to show my wife...just because I had to have someone look at it to make sure it was really happening.

Lebron in playoff form, 29/16/9 on 12 of 19 shooting...and we don't even bat an eye at how good of a night that is because....Lebron

[Cnasty]

He’s boring at this point honestly.

We all know his moves.

We all know what the stat line will look like at the end of the game.
He doesn’t do anything flashy that makes me say wow like any cool dunks or crazy shots anymore.

It’s crazy at this point and for how long he has done it.

[shel311]

Of course Swaggy P has 20 points at the half.

Cavs will play like mostly meh until January. Lebron will openly complain. They'll turn it up. Cavs - Warriors 4.0. Rinse and repeat.

[DRiccio21]

The Cavs could play meh and still win 75% of their games and cruise to the ECF. So take my disappointment in their play in context.

but from a 'clicking' and executing at a high level standard, they were beyond gross last night.

i counted at least 8 possessions in the 3rd q that Lebron didn't TOUCH the ball on an offensive set. that should never happen, literally ever. The ball should touch his hands on offense 100% of the plays he's in the game. even if he just reverses the ball or makes a basic pass, he should always see the ball outside of fast breaks and obvious wide open looks.

Rose took the ball up and went iso like 4 or 5 times. it was BRUTAL to watch.

then the rotations!!! ohhh it made me angry watching it in real time.

[texasfan4444]

Oh I thought that was just Mirotic’s face

"Portis, 22, averaged 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds last season, and was battling Mirotic for the team's starting power forward spot."

This made me chuckle. that's one way to move up the depth chart.

I don't know why I wanted to watch this again but I did. This time with full audio.

At the 2-3 second mark, close your eyes, concentrate and you can literally hear the pop and break of this happening.

When I did it the first 5-10 times I swore it was just production pop or some kind of random court sound.

I opened my eyes, did it another 12-15 times...nope. Its the breaking point.

[The_Niddler]

Wow!

No thanks. It makes by balls ache thinking about it. Watched it once through squinted eyes and that was enough. Weird, since I have absolutely zero problems watching a guy get hit with a 500lb bomb and see parts of him when the smoke clears

Complicated answer: I spent four years of residency training learning literally hundreds of different combinations and ways to put someone "to sleep" for that. I might do a nerve block (couple different options depending on what surgeon needs), to help give him prolonged pain relief after surgery. Id give him an anxiolytic and amnestic med (help him relax and become forgetful) and an IV pain med (dozen or so options). Then an agent to get him to sleep (about a half dozen different options here, but probably propofol), and the amount given here entirely depends on how he has responded to previous medications. Some patients (older, more fragile) just need a dusting to go down, others (younger, larger, chronic drug users/alcoholics) can take significantly more. Young, healthy athletes? Usually on the heavy dose end of the spectrum.

And that is just to induce anesthesia. After that, theres the matter of securing the airway (intubation), which requires paralysis, and maintaining anesthesia throughout the case. Monitoring vitals and treating as necessary, replacing blood, etc. Then reversing paralysis, waking up, and removing tube safely.


Short answer: A lot.
