Observations from the championship game

[HawaiiCat]

We were sitting right next to the bench and got to hear a lot of the conversations between injured players and the team doc. Irving looked like he was in a lot of pain. He kept grabbing the middle of his chest (ribs/sternum) and grimacing. He walked to the trash cans at the tunnel entrance several times to lean on them and did a lot of spitting. It looked like he wanted to puke but it just wasn't happening. He didn't look good until carrying the championship trophy around the arena after the team had gone into the tunnel.

Gipson sprained the outside of his ankle. They taped him up and he went back to the bench. He was hurting for the rest of the night though and made a lot of pained faces.

Jamar cramped up near the end of the game and coach yelled at the team doc about it. It sounded like he was complaining that the players hadn't hydrated enough.

I talked to President Schulz after the game. He said the team is flying back tonight. They have layovers in LA and Denver before getting into KC. They are driving from KC to Manhattan. Sounds like the trip from hell to me. Good thing they don't play again till Saturday.

So exactly what convo did you hear?  Didnt really see anything in there that couldn't be made by any non-near-bench observer.

Also.. was Irving holding the trophy above his head or below?  And why wasn't he in the tunnel with everyone else?

Thanks for the updated.  Mostly concerned about Gip.  Irving probably has the flu that Sprads was suffering from the other day.

Irving also got kneed in the chest by Ennis when he tried to take that charge.

He was hugging the trophy and never got it above his chin. He was the last one off the floor and was walking by the crowd to show it to the fans.
