Both Sixers & Knicks are scrapping hard.
Biid is showing ENORMOUS guts (33-12R so far) playing on 1 leg & dealing with the ophthalmic consequences of a Cranial Nerve (CN) 7 palsy = Bell’s palsy. I wonder if they put him on Prednisone - a very commonly used drug with significant adverse effects if given too much for too long.
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/1000105BTW, the ABSENCE of “FOREHEAD SPARING” is what helps to distinguish a Bell’s palsy due to IPSILATERAL PERIPHERAL CN 7 dysfunction VS a contralateral cerebral hemisphere issue (for example, a STROKE) impacting the LOWER 2/3 ONLY of CN 7 function. Quick & easy to determine on exam.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.
