It's a confirmed Achilles injury. Sad.

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
KD let all the bad talk about him over the past several days get in his head and he made an AWFUL decision that could affect the rest of his career.  Wishing him the best and a speedy recovery, but this should be a learning lesson.

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
So much BS from the Warriors organization.  This was an achilies injury all along, you guys just tried to hide it because you didn't want it to crush your team's morale.  The first time he got hurt he grabbed the achilies, we all saw it, then they reported it as a calf injury.  It was BS all along

100% he'd have gotten injured here. Kyrie is also a walking knee surgery.

You saying on some Willis Reed chit? Elaborate...
Kinda.
KD was always looked as the bad guy for taking the easy way for rings until now. Golden state needed him the most right now and he sacrificed his body for them. People gonna remember that.

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

I kinda don't believe this; ProFoootballDoc said weeks ago that it could be achilles related...

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
Time to see how far Pills planned this offseason.
They saw the KP situation coming, and proactively handled it.
Let's see if they did the same here.

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
Players are going to start realizing they cannot trust team docs. You will start seeing more players go the Kawhi route. That detail will be in our pitch to Kawhi.

Kawhi is the problem. KD will need to hinder his offense.
Other than Game 4, GSW was still able to score points.
KD is probably making a mistake. He might make me eat my words, but I have no expectations he can alter this series now.
Do we sign him if he re-injures the ankle? I can see that happening in the 2nd quarter.

Now I’m calling BS on his first injury. I think it was a partial tear in the beginning

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
if he tore it for real, he probably will sign a long term deal somewhere. he's gonna want to get that last contract in case he's damaged goods. i would actually probably pass but the knicks probably won't.

Re: Around the NBA - 2019 NBA Finals Edition
Warriors GM cries about how misunderstood KD is, then turns around and turns it into a defense of their medical staff. What if KD's agent goes after the Warriors medical staff for some type of malpractice?
