This will be the game that Kawhi will make an imprint... he hasnt done it yet this series he did it twice against the bucks and that game 7 against philly. Kawhi will cement his legacy and will win game 4 to ensure that this goes 7 games even if KD comes back .

Is Lowry going to be able to play after that brutal sideline attack by that crazed owner?

There's sore losers and then there's bucks fans. Congrats on achieving something.

My god, just move on please. It's over, the Bucks lost. All that salt can't be healthy for you.

On average, a pulled hamstring (grade 1) should take from a few days up to 3 weeks to heal, whereas grade 2 and 3 tears can take weeks or months. Research studies suggest that treatment during the initial stages of the injury can have a big impact on rehabilitation time and full recovery

So Klay at worst has a grade 1 which is the lowest type of hamstring strain. I dunno man i just hope he doesn't risk this all being a FA and what not.

Since tim Duncan's retirement, kawhi leonard has not lost a playoff series and his team has beat warriors 14 out of 15 quarters in the playoffs? wow

Even during regular seasons when kawhi played 70+ games his team won 61 games and 67 games with no superstar on his team and a supporting cast flooded with players way out of their primes. Clear cut best player today in my opinion.

This has been one of the more engaging series in awhile, so I am definitely watching. Every game has different matchup issues based on the injury report so it keeps things fun. Ratings will always be lower when Lebron isn't around, but that doesn't mean the product is worse.

If it's not fully healed then it's a risk. Hamstrings can end careers pretty fast.
But hey, that's what they pay the med team the big bucks

Let’s get a couple of things out of the way: First, the U.S. TV numbers for the current NBA Finals between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors are suffering compared to last year’s. And second, that was always going to be the case.

Never mind the fact that last year’s Finals featured the worst Cleveland Cavaliers team of the second LeBron James era (and that Cleveland isn’t a major market on par with a New York City or Los Angeles). It was still a rematch between the Warriors dynasty and an athlete whose fame and TV draw exceeds that of any individual team in the league.

To wit: The Raptors have a solid 1.91 million followers on Twitter. LeBron has 42.8 million.

The Raptors have 2.3 million followers on Instagram. LeBron has 49.5 million.

There's no risk. Even if he severely worsens it and is out for the series, he should be OK by early next season and the Warriors will max him anyway. At this point, without KD and Looney (people seriously underestimate how valuable Loon has been for the team), they aren't winning a chip this season anyway; might as well go down swinging.

If Kawhi resigns and they get Bradley Beal, I could easily see a potential dynasty.

[cpower]

I have our team 35% of winning g4 and 20% of winning the series.

Yes, but he'll end it in 5 so he can finally rest his body and enjoy the off-season.

Hope is not lost. GO DUBS **** GO DUBS

Weren't Klay and Durant key cogs of the 2017 and 2018 Championship Warriors? They haven't played 5 or 12 out of those 12 quarters, respectively. That's 40% and 100% of the series.

You play who is front of you but the details matter if you are going to thump your chest and insult the Warriors.

There's no risk. Even if he severely worsens it and is out for the series, he should be OK by early next season and the Warriors will max him anyway. At this point, without KD and Looney (people seriously underestimate how valuable Loon has been for the team), they aren't winning a chip this season anyway; might as well go down swinging.

I don't understand why people are concerned about Klay and his career? They don't think Klay and the Warriors training staff are working to look out for his best interest? He would have played Game 3 if the training staff didn't care about his future. It was them who ruled him out. He wanted to play.

[Admiral-Kizaru]

Taking dubs In 6 or to still win this series. Anyone want to enter an AVY and signature with me. I wholly and utterly believe in the resolve of this team
