I'm telling you, all of this "calf strain" talk was a smokescreen to throw off the opposition's ability to gameplan; Kerr learned from Pop.

He tore his achilles.


How would KD be walking around though if he tore his achilles? Wouldn't he be much less mobile? I think he plays game 4 or 5.


You can walk on a torn achilles. KD not participating in any basketball-related activity, at all, fuels the point that the injury is more severe than what's being led on.

this idiot got himself kicked out of a game that he dropped thousands of dollars to see



He’s sitting court side, it’s probably baby money to him. What an entitled d-bag, though. Went out of his way to do it too

Injured Cavs pushed the Warriors to 6gms in 2015.

Will the injured warriors have been lucky to push these raps to 5 in the end?

Why in the world did GS bring KD with them to Toronto?
Swinging for the fences.

What is "basketball-related activity"? He has been practicing his individual drills for about a week; according to Monte Poole, that includes all the basketball moves that he normally does on the court, including his iso moves. The only thing he has not been cleared for yet is contact drills; once he is cleared for that and can go through a team practice, Kerr said he could then play in a game.

Raptors have now won 10 of 12 quarters this series. If it wasn't for that 6 min stretch of self combustion to start the 3rd in game 2 Raptors would be up 3-0 and this series would be a wrap.

Realistically he should not come back and risk re-aggravating his injury.

Oh ok, it could be true; I just haven't heard it. The last I heard about it was this tweet, and other associated stories.

Because the training staff was travelling to Toronto to treat the team. They wanted him to continue his rehab with the training staff. And KD wanted to be there with his teammates.

Curry probably understand how LeBron felt when he scored 51 in a loss. Humility always help!

He is hoping the medical staff will clear him to practice tomorrow; that theoretically would make it possible for him to play in game 4 if he does well. That's why after tonight's game when asked about his status for game 4, he replied "I will know more in the morning".

I'm not buying achilles-gate... but calf tears can be quite serious. I'll be somewhat surprised if KD comes back this postseason (that being said - watch him play in game 4 lol)

I don't think he comes back either.

Seems like a smokescreen from GS.

The survey is soo funny to me. After game 1 it was Raps in 6, after game 2 it was Warriors in 6, after game 3 it's Raps in 5?? What the heck.. I've been saying Raps in 7 since before the series and I'm sticking to it
