Even with all the injuries we could still come up this close. Now I understand the viewpoint of haters. If cousins and Durant were fit, the finals and indeed the NBA would be fraud .

Good game though and we are still the greatest dynasty in NBA history .

SmooshCHN:
Congrats to the Raptors..

SmooshCHN:
Respect for both teams. They kept fighting till the end.

SmooshCHN:
Cos you were there when they told KD to do spot up shooting?? Even media reported my man was dunking in practice and you're telling us he was doing spot up shooting full contact practice. FOH with your ijebu fake news.

SmooshCHN:
I'm cool with that because know we're winning but wouldn't it be harsh if I say I'll concerned for you because your misery continues irregardless of tonight's result? Witnessing suicide isn't new to me. I've seen many people with failed attempts especially at this time in this country. So, if you decide to take the easy way out, yours wouldn't be a shock to me whatever the outcome. Ultimately, I'll advise you don't go down the ersan part, keep your head on a swivel and don't go down that part. Talk basketball like someone who didn't take a shortcut in college.

SmooshCHN:
Did you hear Mark Jackson say a word when Steph and Klay those 3s? That guy is bitter. That last minute officiating stressed me. Maybe the refs were right but I'm glad the team got the job done. They didn't fold at any point

SmooshCHN:
As per KD manager abi? So they prove to Steady in under bridge, Ikeja or Lekki that the Warriors are not a classless organization? I bet the Celtics offered Isaiah Thomas supermax. Stop clowning!!!

LarcPickerin:
And i honestly feel a lot of the problems women attribute to the "patriarchy" are problems they can solve themselves. What if all women voted for hillary? they shouldnt have but what they could have. What if as many women who watch male dominated sports watched female dominated sports? What if women flooded to watch certain actresses like they do to watch chris hemsworth or idris elba? But somehow its mens fault hillary isnt president, the WNBA wants equal pay even though it has as much revenue as a fish market, actresses want equal pay when they dont have as much draw. When your whole argument violates logic and economics. If you look at industries where women support females as much as or more than males you see that these issues dont exist, the music and fashion industry for example is where women do as well as men or even better because women support these industries.

Like a lot of societies issues today we are always looking for someone else to blame when most of the times we need to look within.

The best run franchise in the NBA is now classless.

Eruditor:
Ha ba baba, the host of the show is not an expert. He called the expert who gave factual reasons as to why the first injury was clearly a calf strain. Starting from the way he landed. How straight his legs were and the motion they observed from him before game 5. He made it abundantly clear that it could not have been an Achilles.

The same expert then concluded that the second injury was one but not a rupture and even went as far as saying it looked like a partial tear going by how KD tried to flex his ankle upon landing.

Fact is, nothing I say will matter if you clearly don't even want to listen to experts together with KD's own medical team. Everybody cleared the player. Bob approved of KD's decision. Because it worsened, everyone is now bad. The best run franchise in the NBA is now classless.

I hear you.

SmooshCHN:
You're so desperate you failed to read and understand. Kevin Durant practiced with the team before the game. Stop lying to paint the Warriors bad on one mistake. I hold the organization responsible as well as Bob Myers only because he's the GM but he can only go as far as listening to the medical team and Kevin Durant. But to say the organization is classless is just foolishness and desperation.

SmooshCHN:
You have to have a type of brain deficiency to call the Warriors a classless organization after being transparent with KDs situation. Hate has sipped into your skull and you don't know it yet. These same people will still have something to say if KD had dropped 40. They'll say we didn't clear him because we wanted to prove we can win without him.
The Celtics weren't classless when Isaiah Thomas aggravated his right femoral-acetabular impingement injury with labral tear cos the doctors said he was fine to play. His doctors probably kept mute because they knew his pay day was coming and the Celtics were fine with it. They even agreed readjuste the trade when the Cavs knew who's bad his injury was. Danny Ainge wasn't going to pay him and subsequently traded him to the Cavs and we call it business. We knew how it ended.

But the Warriors saying KD's health is more important than championship after he missed 32 days in the playoffs is a lie right? Allowing Kevin play because he wanted to after being cleared by his doctors and the warriors medical team to come back was classless. Right?

KD had a calf strain at first. It takes 3-6weeks depending on how bad the strain was. KD took 32 days off and was cleared after series of practice. Up to me, he wouldn't have played like I said hours before the game. The Calf muscles are connected to the Achilles tendon. If he had a strain and recovered, you'll still be taking a risk on the achilles. But players have played this same way without any injury. It's only bad because it got complicated.
Down 3-1 complicated everything. KD even on his death bed will always want to play. The same media saying the warriors were holding him back to prove they can win without him are the ones saying the Warriors shouldn't have brought him back. Talk of double standard just because it's the Warriors. He wanted to play, was cleared by the medical team including his, the coach was fine with it and Bob Myers was the last person in line to say yes or no and he made the decision. Bob Myers made it known KD's health was first. He has to consider KD's wish as well as the medical team. The same media will punish KD till death if the warriors win without him and being KD, I'm sure this was why he was eager to return. Class is taking responsibility for your actions. KD took responsibility, the team did as well. It's the media and the opposing fans who are now playing devil's advocate that have a problem.

SmooshCHN:
Two illiterates giving the same output in a business field doesn't mean they are saying the right thing. You have to know the truth to speak it. You just hate the warriors organization and it's clouding your thought process.

Khanben:
My heart goes out to KD, wishing him the best. For those like kellerman who think this should detract teams from giving him the max, I humbly beg to disagree.
KD's skill set means that at the worst what this injury will cost him is a bit of explosiveness, from the 12 minutes he played in game 5 I saw a peek into what at the very worst KD will become and that is a prime Dirk, purely a perimeter and elbow/ post killer.
So For the opportunity of having prime Dirk playing for your team for 3 years, that in it self is worth swallowing the first year payday.

Eruditor:
LOL you are funny. It hurts.

You even think Birdman is saying the same thing as you.

LOL.
LOOOOL.

birdman:
i slept on this. And I thought about it again. Nah, lets talk true...what GS did here was evil. And as I have been checking other athletes comments, everyone is saying the same thing.

If they knew KD was going to be a warrior next season, they would not have let him play.

Whatever class and goodwill warriors management had is gone with this move. Crying on stage cant absolve the Machiavellian move they made here.

I fault Durant for being too trusting, too eager. But warriors did a number on this guy.

Eruditor:
See why I said comprehension?

They asked him whose decision it was to let KD play. He detailed how doctor's cleared him, KD wanted in and how Kerr approved but that the final buck stops at his table so they can put the blame on him.

If a recently recovering player gets another injury people will always ask, why did he start? Was he ready? etc etc

They did so game 4 for Klay.

Eruditor:
Comprehension.

Even if KD broke his hand, Myers would have said the same thing because he was asked who approved of KD playing.

Eruditor:
The icepack was also on his leg after he was taken off before he got hurt.

Bob Myers has to take responsibility because that is what a good leader does. He had the final right to allow KD play or not. But KD clearly wanted to play. The Doctors said the calf injury could not worsen. KD trained and felt good. So the Warriors allowed him play.

When Kawhi felt SAS did not have his back he refused to play..exaggerated his injury and asked to be traded. So nobody forced KD to play

Eruditor:
First this is actually dumb I'm sorry.

Second this is dumb again.

Third, you know the rest.

Luxury when you are wrong and do not even support the Raptors. Simply hating on GSW.



Anyways, like I said before. Game 7 would be very interesting but the team you did not want to win, won.

Eruditor:
Let me share a little hack for you; sometimes before posting, just Google what you are about to say. Google can make an ignoramus sound learned most times if used well.

So someone can simply wrap ice around an achilles and play? LOL. And it was you who knew but medical staff of experts, KD himself who not only trained but was seen dunking and dancing before the game and the GM Bob Myers had no clue.

Okay. LOL

Eruditor:
What is funny is, you are the one nervous, confused, butthurt etc. I am the guy who said since Saturday morning that there will be a game 7 and GSW won. When some of you here were saying Raptors in 5.

You are actually supposed to shut up now. Game 5 is done and there is a game 6.

Eruditor:
So when Kobe popped his Achilles was it as a result of a calf injury? When Cousins popped his was it as a result of a calf injury?

Your anger is that GSW won the game. Has nothing to do with starting KD or not. If he did not get hurt and we lost you would have had a field day.

Did Klay not rush back after he supposedly pulled a hammy? How come he has not pulled one again? Looney that they said was out of the finals has come back and played good minutes. Is it not the same medical team that cleared him?

Keep celebrating someone's misfortune. This week has surprises for some of you. You heard it here first.

Eruditor:
Clearing him was for a calf injury. Nobody knew he would have his Achilles popped like it happened. The Achilles is a new injury which is why Bob Myers was "crying".

At least it puts to bed the rubbish people were saying here that he wanted to leave GSW. Nobody will risk playing for a club you want to leave when you are housing an injury of any kind. They should ask Kawhi.

Eruditor:
Hope you know that the injury he had yesterday is different from the one he had before. There is a way you post sometimes..I wonder if all is well upstairs.

Eruditor:
You are still talking extending series when I am telling you that there was a game 7 and that I know who won. LOL.

Let me tell you something funny; whenever there was a game 6 on home court for a team down 3-2, the NBA always made sure a game 7 happened.

So expect those foul calls that Warriors were not getting to be called in game 6. That 27-14 FT disparity won't happen. I can assure you. All those Kawhi's travels he will get called for them. I said it here first. Watch this space.

Warriors in 7!
