You know what's ironic. That after the Warriors recruited KD and signed Cousins to create some overkill, the basketball gods have made it so if they are to get the historic 3peat they will be forced to do it without KD and digging themselves out of a grave ditch.

They are all doctors now? :lol:

It's a quick, easy test according to Dr Chaoo. They already know but waiting for the conifrmation on MRI.

Stop being delusional about this.

Skip is the best, don’t care what anyone says. No one could trigger SAS quite like him, I miss the days when those two were on First Take. Of course, I can rely on Lowe, Herring, Arnowitz for real basketball analysis but Skip is just a brilliant entertainer (to me).

I don’t like KD and I’m glad he is out for the series but I hope he didn’t rupture his Achilles. That injury is just devastating. Of course, he’s guaranteed to sign with the Knicks if he did.

#1, he's pissed because he couldn't play.

Beyond that - let's see what comes out.

I'd venture to say they know a lot more about his injury than you or I.

I'd venture to say that they were too busy winning an NBA finals game to stare at a Twitter clip over and over like we did.

I'd say, at the moment they gave the interviews, they didn't know the extent of KD's injury in the slightest and were just being generally supportive of a teammate.

This is basketball jesus saving us from ourselves. If we'd have signed him he'd have an ACL/patellar/achilles in the fast year and it would be Amare 2 Electric Boogaloo. The Nets appear to be saving us from signing the other injury time bomb.

You're right. The players don't communicate with the GM/coaches.

Durant also doesn't have a devastating injury.

Its' true.

He's good at what he does, saying things to make people hate him is basically his job
