Is that too late in the series to be throwing a guy out there who hasn't played for over a month? If Klay is still out yes obviously because you need the offensive firepower, but I don't know, seems like a tough decision.


If KD can play it’s out of Kerr’s hands, he’ll demand to play and Kerr will just have to adjust. Even just having him out there would be crushing for Raptors morale and a boost for GSW defense.


That's probably true. It would be interesting if nothing else.

He only trails Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.


2 wins away from arguably the greatest run of all time in my opinion.

Interestingly enough it can backfire because if he’s out there but plays like Cousins (dead legs), Raptors could get a huge morale boost I.e we have them on the ropes type of momentum.

Without KD, Klay and Looney, there won't be a game 6. Arena will be empty.

Kerr just hinted KD might be out Game 4


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.

He was our best big throughout the playoffs. Very smart guy who always seemed to be in the right position. And now if Cousins is hurt, even though he had a bad game, it's another big that may not be available to us. At his age, Bogut can't be expected to play more than about 25 minutes. Just too many injuries to overcome.

You can't lay your hands on players, that guy should be kicked out of the Arena and banned from attending NBA games forever.

And we've seen that Curry tends to play more passive with KD out there. Plus KD would be coming off a month of inactivity and stepping in to late finals intensity being guarded by great lengthy defenders like Leonard and Siakam. Thats a tough ask for KD honestly. Not at all like returning from injury in the regular season or even early playoffs, or even early in a finals series.

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.
