Draymond Green Injured

Submitted by Brick on

Draymond Green went down with a non contact knee injury in the Illinois game tonight.  I am no doctor but it looked like and LCL injury.  This is a big blow to MSU if the injury is serious.  They are not the same team without him.

He was having a HORRIBLE game with the flu or whatever. He falls down and the next thing you know you see him hopping all around the arena on his own? If he is seriously hurt the state training staff sure didn't care too much.

As much as I dislike Draymond, you never want to see a kid get injured. And, I wanted MSU at full strength next week do there were no excuses when we extend the streak.

Really? I do not care about excuses from their idiotic fans. I care about winning and if an injury to Draymond is the best way we can win, so be it. All that matters is winning. I do not wish kids to get injured, but I do not complain if they help Michigan win.

Green is a great guy, hard worker and terrific representative for that school.  Also, I don't want Michigan to beat them for the fourth straight time when they are at half strength.  But yes, their team is pretty much awful without him.

Don't think you'd find too many State fans complaining about how the death penalty we incurred in the 90's handed them and Izzo the in-state dominance for over a decade.  Green's a good kid, but end of day, as a fan you have to accept any type of chaos that might help your team get ahead. 

Same goes for all these people saying they're happy Ohio has Urban Meyer now because that way "we can beat them when they're good."  That's crap.  Michigan hoops and Michigan football haven't won a BiG in a while.  We need to get off our high horse and just be happy at any opportunity we have to compete and beat our rivals at recruiting or on the court/field.

Hope Green gets better fast, he's a great kid, but I'll be happy if he's not in the line up come Sunday.

Are you serious?  TheMaizeIsStrong (banned guy and sparty troll) replied to ThadMattasgoblin saying some b.s about TMG being a retard, which is when I replied with my first post.  Then he replied to me saying that having your best player out is a legitimate excuse for a loss.  Which I replied to saying whatever I said above.

I used Crawford as one example because it sticks out in my mind. There was another game that Manny or LaVell missed IIRC

<br>Crawford didn't "do" anything either. It was NCAA applying penalties inconsistently. They effectively ended his ameteur status over something other athletes have done since.

I don't like this thread, because all the Sparty trolls that frequent these parts will run, cry and exaggerate to make it seem like we are happy about it. I think a better post title would be "MSU loses to Illini on the road" and maybe a note in the actual post about the injury. It just looks and sounds better.

I know we shouldn't alter how we do things because others are immature and stupid, but I think in this case it's just the right thing to do.
