I have now heard from Sam Vecenie, Rich Bucher, Colin Cowherd, other NBA writers and a professional gambler that spoke to all of their collective sources and oddsmakers around the league that KD's injury is worse than they are letting on. He is extremely unlikely to play at all.

They said if he had a treatment plan and was set to play in G3 they would have kept him in Oakland and avoided to 6 hour flights and the span of a week. Lastly, when you consider he hasn't even done any full contact work yet it's really unlikely that he comes back in this series

We’ve had a tougher road than any of those Cavs teams that’s for sure. Philly alone, I don’t think those cavs teams beat anyone as talented.


100 percent tougher than the Cavs teams.

We beat at HOT Orlando team, after dropping game 1. We beat the most talented starting lineup in the NBA in the Sixers, and then the best regular season team in the league in Milwaukee.

I expected this. These teams are so good until the Raptors beat them, then they are trash lol. The lack of respect is real.

Me too. I thought it'd be opened up early for fans to pack the house.

But I guess with people coming from work etc, they just left it as is. I know in the regular season it was an hour before game time.

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

The more important question is whether or not Patrick McCaw remembered enough of the GSW playbook for the Raptors to take advantage.

Got my lucky t-shirt that I’ve worn ever since they beat the Bucks in game 3 and haven’t washed it since. Yes it’s starting to smell, it’s wrinkly, and dirty from spilled salsa but I dgaf because it’s been lucky and every other shirt or jersey I have is tarnished by bad playoff losses.

My gut is starting to hurt, I don’t know if my heart can actually handle this stress. I’m excited and nervous and emotional right now.

We can win this series, I truly believe it. Our team is SO good this year and we may never have a better opportunity with this core group of players.

I will cry tears of happiness if we win and tears of pain if we lose. I will cry either way, **** I just need the game to start right now!
