Joe Ingles Appreciation Thread (Edit: Confirmed ACL, Out for Season)

[campaignist]

Part of my fandom has died. It feels like someone has died.

I didn't want to say it because I didn't want to be dramatic, but that's how I've felt all day. It's a distinct sense of loss.

 

[campaignist]

Yeah, I have no idea where this is headed now. Would love it if it was the event that brought everyone the proper perspective and really crystalized all the lessons they should know by now, but my gut feeling right now is that this might totally fall apart. I hope my dread is misplaced, but y'all, it's been real good the last 5 years. Even when we thought it was bad.

I am fully expecting this team to implode like an old Vegas casino on demolition day. I just want to get the season over with.

I honestly don't know the last time I was brought to the brink of all-out bawling so much about a single issue. I feel deep regret and almost remorse for not enjoying the last five years more. Holy hell, there have been some awesome ****ing times. The '17-'18 season will be nearly impossible to beat, and no one thought that team was a real contender. There are other things than championships, though.

I'm sure everyone has watched this to death, but this series just hits me in the feel goods like The Shot.



Look how hard this team played, look how fierce they fought for each other, listen to that crowd. And this dude that everyone thought was some scrub brought in to be Exum's buddy is the beating heart of it.

One of the best series ever. Ingles just made PG his bitch. Loved it!

Thanks Joe.

That got me. I was so happy for Joe and the rest.

I just read the other day a story about Aron Baynes' bizarre injury at the Olympics. I had no idea what had happened to him.

I fear for the locker room. Some players made statements alluding to it, but I think he helped bring the team together and helped to keep potential conflicts from boiling over. With this losing streak and no Joe I think things could go sideways.

Joe was the glue that kept Don and Rudy together after whatever happened in the lockerroom between Don and Rudy around covid.

These are fragile times.

Not much left to say. Our Iron Man for so long. With Mitchell and Conley injuries last season, no way we get 52 wins last year without him. Runner up for 6th man award last year. As we all know, one day you wake up and your body has just had enough. Happened sooner for Joe due to extended mileage IMO.

I bet Quin feels terrible. Quin and Joe have been together from the very beginning. I remember hearing something from Joe on the radio about Quin texting him about game strategy in the middle of the night lol

Agreed, my guess he's beside himself, he's lost his on court coach, man who steadies the locker room, Joe would run through walls for Quin.

My two favorite playoff series wins in the last 15+ years are easily the 2007 second round win over Golden State and the 2018 first round win over Oklahoma City. Ingles literally owned George that series and it was so ****ing glorious to watch.
