Oh boy. :o So hype for this.

This is on Colin Cowherd right now, I think he’s talking to the GSW insider who’s personally real right with KD.

EDIT: Yup, it was Marcus Thompson.

His Ultra-instinct was showing. This has me a bit anxious - but, you know what. We have been preparing for every game as if he was there. KD is a massive upgrade over McKinnie/Cook even at 30%

Marcus said all 150 media members were quiet and basically like :o when he walked by. As in, yep, I’m THAT guy and tonight is mine. Tyson, Jordan, Jackson type vibes.

I’m suddenly so, so hype for this game tonight.

He was interviewing Marcus Thompson, the most thorough KD and GSW insider.

Lol, that didn't make this sound any less asinine.

:roll:

Durant hasn’t played in a month, hadn’t even been cleared for practice until this past weekend, and he is going to go off in game 5 of the Finals.

It would be a great story if it happens but I don’t think it does. He’s going to be limited due to his leg and won’t be himself.


That may be enough to get the Warriors the win but this isn’t going to be the MJ “flu game”.

KD hasn't been meaningfully challenged since 2016 NBA playoffs.

I'm excited for him to actually have to try!

He’s a game time decision. Whether you love him or hate him it’s good for the game of basketball to see that sniper/snake ball... if he looks somewhat like Klay last game, can you say series changer.

NBA beat writers are embarrassing. KD may go off and he'll give it all back because he's a human being that hasn't run more than 15 minutes in a month. You can't cheat your lungs.

Golden State still trying to win the psychological game. Wouldn't bet against the raptors & their BDE with or without KD playing

Marcus Thompson is a joke / Warriors homer to the max. The guy just regurgitates whatever talking points the team feeds him.

I really hope KD plays. He is going to be rusty as hell and yet the pathetic / desperate GSW will look to him to save them; Kawhi is going to swallow him up and it will be painfully obvious KD won't impact anything. That psychological letdown will be the final blow to the Warriors; I predict a Raps blowout.

"Go off tonight" :lol: SMH
