KD Possibly Out Unless Finals Go to Game 6. **Official Warriors Sweep War Wagon**

[benhillboy]

About another 2 weeks of The Beautiful Brand. This is exceptional news.

[Sign5]

... and just like that I'm actually excited to watch this year's Finals.

[SlowPaced]

I want the Bucks to win the title so I'll cheer for them. If Raps advance, then I'll cheer for the Raptors.

[Ridicululz]

Hope the Warriors win without KD. Excited for the finals this year.

What a coincidence that the year LeBron leaves the East is the year that KD gets injured lol

Bucks are far too deep and they'll have the best player in the series. It'll be an easy series to call. Not impressed with them beating the injured an mediocre Blazers, especially considering they could have easily lost games 2 and 3. Another elephant in the room is that the Warriors bench has been uncharacteristically good since Durant went down, which I don't think is likely to continue.

How anyone reads that linked article and gets that he's "likely" to be out until game 6 is a mystery.

learn to read, they hope he will be back 12 june its in the article. the finals start at 30 may. it can even happen he doesnt get back at all.

Learn to read? The article says, " It’s believed that a strained calf could hold a player out for roughly six weeks. If that proved true in this case..." That translates to likely? The rest of the article is equally vague. This is wishful thinking by everyone here.

I changed it from likely to possibly so everyone can be happy.

Curry is easily a better player than Giannis (to me at least).

[madmaxmedia]

KD's ultimate scenario is to step off the exercise bike and save the Warriors, like Kirk Gibson in the World Series...

[ropjhk]

Warriors winning in 4 wouldn't be the worst thing for KD. The worst thing would be if the Warriors are up 3-2 going into game 6 and they lose the last 2 games with KD.

That would be so delicious.

[Triples333]

To be clear, this timeline is laid out by a trainer with exactly zero knowledge of the severity of KD's injury.

That said, the moment this happened I mentally ruled KD out for the post-season. I think the Warriors have as well.

A Bucks/Warriors Finals should be a battle with or without Durant, but the lack of depth is clearly going to be a major issue in that series. That said, the Bucks have to make it there first.

I think Giannis is the best player in the world, so we'll agree to disagree there.

the basketball gods have blessed us...the finals might actually be competitive & entertaining if KD is out for most of it.

Where’s the option for “I hope they’re leading the Finals when KD comes back and then they go on to lose”?

KD had to beat LeBron twice just to get in the conversation of being better then him.

Giannis automatically becomes better then KD and Curry by just getting to the finals once.

Something doesent add up here.

Golden State goes up 3-0.

KD returns and Milwaukee tie the series 3-3.

Milwaukee leads by 30 points at halftime of game 7. KD tears his ACL. Curry scores 50 in the 2nd half and GS wins.

Yes.

[Stillwater]

KD or no KD they are not going to easily beat Milwaukee a team that got 12 points out of their superstar last night and still took 2 OT's for their opponent to win.
I think Bucks take GSW in 5 without him and 6 if the Bucks choke game 1.

[dlts20]

I have a feeling that this board will have a massive meltdown if GS goes down 0-3 or 1-3 in the finals without KD...lol

[oaktownwarriors87]

Bucks in 6 without KD playing.

Bucks in 5 with KD playing

[BallSacBounce]

Warriors winning in 4 wouldn't be the worst thing for KD. The worst thing would be if the Warriors are up 3-2 going into game 6 and they lose the last 2 games with KD.

That would be a salt avalanche.
